Top 41 Most Amazing Movies to Watch on Netflix Now

‘BEGIN AGAIN’ (2013)

Keira Knightley plays a singer looking for a break, and Mark Ruffalo is a music executive trying to make a comeback, in this uplifting tale from the director of “Once.”

 

‘FRUITVALE STATION’ (2013)

Before Michael B. Jordan and director Ryan Coogler teamed up for “Creed,” they made this deeply affecting film about the tragic real-life death of Oscar Grant III in Oakland, California.

 

‘THE BABADOOK’ (2014)

A single mom and her hyperactive son are plagued by the mysterious Mr. Babadook in this inventive and chilling Aussie horror film. Nightmares will ensue.

 

‘LIFE ITSELF’ (2014)

Based on Roger Ebert’s memoir of the same name, this engaging documentary is a loving homage to arguably the most famous movie critic ever.

 

‘SPOTLIGHT’ (2015)

Boston journalists uncover one of the biggest scandals of all time — the Catholic church’s cover-up of pedophile priests — in this excellent, Oscar-winning drama. The outstanding ensemble cast includes Michael Keaton and Oscar nominees Mark Ruffalo and Rachel McAdams.

 

‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR’ (2016)

It’s basically “Avengers 2.5,” with a center piece battle royale (Spider-Man FTW!) that is an all-timer for the genre. It’s not Cap’s best sequel, but it is one of Marvel’s biggest and more ambitious efforts worthy of a viewing or three.

 

‘PETE’S DRAGON’ (2016)

Audiences got this one wrong when they largely sat out its theatrical release. This grounded and emotionally resonate live-action upgrade of the animated classic will forever be underrated in the Disney canon; if you haven’t seen this movie yet, then stop reading right now and fix that.

 

‘SING STREET’ (2016)

In this (mostly) feel-good drama set in 1980s Ireland, a teen forms a band so he can ask the girl of his dreams to be in their videos. If you love the ’80s, you’ll love this movie.

 

‘MUDBOUND’ (2017)

Dee Rees’ powerful post-Civil War drama earned Oscar nominations for Supporting Actress Mary J. Blige, Best Song (also by Blige), Best Original Screenplay and Best Cinematography (Rachel Morrison, the first woman ever to be nominated in the category).

 

‘STRONG ISLAND’ (2017)

Filmmaker Yance Ford searches for answers in the shooting death of his brother in this heart-wrenching (and now Oscar-nominated) documentary.
