The best films you can stream on Netflix today
Netflix's library changes every month — titles arrive and disappear constantly. Instead of spending 20 minutes scrolling through the homepage, here are six movies currently on Netflix that stand out from the rest.
Inception (2010)
Christopher Nolan's mind-bending thriller follows a thief who infiltrates people's dreams to steal secrets. Over fifteen years after its release, Inception still holds up as one of the most inventive blockbusters ever made. The action sequences, the layered narrative, the Hans Zimmer score — it all comes together perfectly. If you've never seen it, tonight is the night.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Widely considered the gold standard of superhero movies, The Dark Knight transcends its genre. Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker is still one of the most mesmerizing performances in modern cinema. The film raises real questions about order, chaos, and the cost of heroism — it just happens to feature a man in a bat costume.
Interstellar (2014)
Another Nolan epic, this one about a group of astronauts searching for a new home for humanity as Earth deteriorates. Interstellar is visually breathtaking and emotionally heavy. Best experienced on the largest screen you have available.
Marriage Story (2019)
Noah Baumbach's intimate and raw portrait of a marriage falling apart is one of the best films of the 2010s. Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson give career-defining performances. It's not a comfortable watch, but it's an honest one. You'll feel it for days.
Parasite (2019)
The first Korean film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, Parasite is a genre-defying masterpiece. It starts as a darkly funny class satire and transforms into something altogether more disturbing. Go in knowing as little as possible — the less you know, the better the experience.
The Irishman (2019)
At three and a half hours, Scorsese's organized crime epic is a commitment — but it earns every minute. De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci deliver some of their finest late-career work in a film that's really about regret, time, and the weight of choices made long ago.
