With over 1,500 original titles, Netflix continues to stay atop the streaming wars pyramid thanks to its exclusive content offerings. Netflix has something for everyone, covering every genre and target demographic imaginable. Sure, everyone knows about popular series like Stranger Things, Squid Games, or The Witcher, but when it comes to film, Netflix has some genuinely good original movies on the platform. With so many titles to choose from, it’s difficult sometimes to make heads or tails of what’s available, let alone what’s actually worth the sit down and stream. We’ve done the heavy lifting so you don’t have to and figured out the very best Netflix movies ready for your viewing pleasure in January 2024.

•Stars: Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Jason Mamoa, Stellen Skarsgard, Dave Batista
•Runtime: 195 mins
Based on the classic Dune books from Frank Herbert, Dune is a sc-fi epic that truly feels epic. The story follows a young man named Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) who is apart of noble family that gets stuck in the middle of an interplantary conflict over a substance called spice. Taking place on the windswept sand world of Arrakis, Dune has everything you could want out of a sci-fi movie on Netflix or otherwise. It is also supported by a star-studded cast that includes Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Jason Mamoa, Stellen Skarsgard, Dave Batista, and more. The sequel, Dune: Part 2 is set to release in March 2024.
Since the film was released exclusively on HBO Max when it first came out, you can also still watch the movie there.

•Director: Matt Reeves
•Stars: Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright
•Runtime: 176 minutes
A darker, more modern take on the popular masked vigilante, The Batman provides a more human quality to the character than ever before. After two years of nocturnal crime-fighting in Gotham City, Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson) must defeat a psychotic murderer who forces him to answer riddles with the consequence of innocent deaths. While there have been many, varied iterations of Batman, Matt Reeves’ character delves a bit deeper into the shady past of the Wayne family and what enemies such a power can create.
•Director(s): Aaron Horvath, Michael Jelenic, Pierre Leduc
•Stars: Chris Pratt, Anya-Taylor Joy, Charlie Day
•Runtime: 92 mins
In what is now known to be the highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a blast of action and comedy that is fun for the whole family. As is the plot in the video games: Mario (Chris Pratt) is a well-to-do hero in the Nintendo world, attempting to stop Bowser’s (Jack Black) evil plans to destroy everything and take Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy) as his prize. While the critics groaned and nit-picked upon the release of this animated super-film, audiences were overjoyed with the arguably errant nostalgia dumps and references that make this movie as exciting as it is.
•Director: Damien Chazelle
•Stars: J.K. Simmons, Miles Teller, Melissa Benoist
•Runtime: 106 mins
A tour de force of acting, cinematography, and unconventional plot pacing, Whiplash is a story of dedication, determination, and rhythm in every aspect of life. Devoted to a life of percussion and musical passion, Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller) traverses a cutthroat musical conservatory with an unmerciful instructor bent on brutal perfection. The movie itself strives for perfection since the plot seems to follow the pacing of a jazz song: ramping up and slowing down at seemingly random intervals but most certainly intentionally.
•Director(s): Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, Justin K. Thompson
•Stars: Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Brian Tyree Henry
•Runtime: 140 mins
The visually stunning sequel to the animated smash hit, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse continues the uniquely comic-book-like movie style that captivated audiences worldwide. Faced with the aftermath of the interdimensional mess caused in the first film, an elite task force of Spider-People takes it upon themselves to hunt and capture interdimensional anomalies randomly cast into other dimensions. Between his struggles with his family, his education, his love life, his ‘nemesis’, and the multitudes of Spider-People, the juggling of many themes at once in this film is impressive enough without the astounding artistry.
•Director: James McTeigue
•Stars: Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman, Rupert Graves
•Runtime: 132 mins
From the golden era of the brilliantly-written Wachowski scripts comes V for Vendetta: a political, dystopian thriller that focuses on the censorship and absolute oppression of civilians by its government. When an employee for the state-run British Television Network encounters a mystifying masked vigilante known as ‘V’, (Hugo Weaving) she unknowingly becomes a part of his master plan to overthrow their tyrannical, oppressive government. Along with some incredible appearances by Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving, the story and set designs alone make this a very re-watchable gem of an action drama.
•Director: Juel Taylor
•Stars: Jamie Foxx, John Boyega, Teyonah Parris
•Runtime: 122 mins
While everyone was busy watching Barbie and Oppenheimer, Netflix sneakily released They Cloned Tyrone the same weekend. And although it was overshadowed by the collective power of Barbenheimer, They Cloned Tyrone desires a second look. In it, Jamie Foxx, John Boyega, and Teyonah Parris are forced to team up to investigate what appears to be a wide-ranging government conspiracy. Part mystery, part comedy, with just a touch of sci-fi flair, They Cloned Tyrone is a stylish and well-acted thriller that never takes itself too seriously. If you liked Sorry to Bother You, They Cloned Tyrone might be just up your alley.
•Director: Noah Baumbach
•Stars: Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, Raffey Cassidy, Don Cheadle

Directed by Barbie co-writer Noah Baumbach, White Noise is an attempt at adapting Don DeLillo’s 1985 novel by the same name, which many have long considered to be unadaptable. It’s a dense book, full of meditative and philosophical asides that have little to do with its meandering, often abstract narrative. And yet, here it is, a stubborn little movie released on Netflix that tries to accomplish the impossible. Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig star as a pair of parents raising an unruly, hyper-talkative group of children. He’s a college professor, she’s an aerobics instructor with near-constant ruminations about death – they’re a match made in heaven. But their life gets a little more complicated when a nearby train crash unleashes what is called an Airborne Toxic Event, forcing them to flee their homes to escape the poisonous chemicals. More than a little weird but engaging enough if you’re willing to give it a chance, White Noise is the perfect choice if you want to try out something a little bit different.
