7 Must-Watch Netflix Movies You Might Have Missed
Suki Waterhouse stars in the 2016 dystopian thriller film 'The Bad Batch.' We all know that feeling: you're scrolling endlessly through Netflix's myriad offerings, passing by the same movies over and over, wondering if this movie is worth watching or if that movie is any good—yeah, it's tough to choose. While many of those films are hyped by the streaming service or gain moments of traction on social media, the simple reality is that many of them will forever remain unknown. But what if we gave seven of those movies another chance? Seven movies that often fly under the radar, that still haven't gotten their moment in the sun, that are still waiting to find their audience, sometimes decades after their release? Well, let's do just that. This list features seven awesome movies on Netflix that aren't super popular. I determined this by arranging over 5,000 Netflix movies on Letterboxd, ranked by popularity. I then found movies buried way down on the list that I've enjoyed in the past, that offer lots of great insights and image, that I believe will provide some much-needed entertainment next time you need a break on the couch. I chose several different genres and styles to appeal to many different movie watchers, so hopefully you find a brand new favorite in this bunch. Good luck, and happy watching! 7 Must-Watch Netflix Movies You Might Have Missed Noah Baumbach became more of a household name after receiving an Oscar nomination for co-penning the Barbie script alongside wife Greta Gerwig. But he was well-respected by many prior to 2023, with Oscar nominations coming for Marriage Story in 2019 and The Squid and the Whale in 2005 as well. But long before those projects—back in 1995, to be exact—Baumbach released his first feature-length film, one that many consider to be his best: Kicking & Screaming. A dry, talky, sneakily profound comedy about post-college limbo, the film follows a group of friends: Grover (Josh Hamilton), Max (Chris Eigeman), Otis (Carlos Jacott) and Skippy (Jason Wiles). As part of what is a refreshingly meandering story that isn't driven purely by plot, these four recent graduates hang out at the same bar, argue about literature and wax poetic about their aimlessness, seemingly unable to move on from their responsibility-free university lives. All the while, Grover mourns a breakup with his girlfriend Jane (Olivia d'Abo), who has left for grad school in Prague. With its episodic structure and sharp, hyperverbal dialogue and many great character performances (including one from the forever-great Parker Posey), Kicking and Screaming wears its Gen X malaise on its sleeve, capturing that very specific post-graduate dread where everything feels both possible and pointless at the same time. Indonesian filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto enjoyed some notoriety for his participation in two of the popular horror anthologies: The ABCs of Death, V/H/S/2 and V/H/S/94. But he's found a special audience on Netflix, where he's released a few of his films—The Night Comes for Us, May the Devil Take You and The Shadow Strays. That final film is the polar opposite of Kicking & Screaming: a ferocious, blood-soaked action film that hits with the velocity of a freight train. But there's so much more than action to be found in its story. Aurora Ribero plays '13,' a 17-year-old assassin raised by a secret international organization known as the Shadows. After a mission in Japan goes array, her mentor Umbra (Hana Malasan) suspends 13 and sends her to Jakarta for monotonous, numbing psych retraining. There, she forms a protective bond with 11-year-old Monji (Ali Fikri), whose mother was lost to a human trafficking ring. After Monji is abducted, 13's violent training resurfaces with explosive force, propelling her on a revenge-fueled rampage through the Indonesian capital's darkest corners. Recalling the unbelievable fight sequences that littered Gareth Evans' popular Indonesian film The Raid, this work of wonder is stuffed to the brim with Tjahjanto's signature style: kinetic camerawork and brutal hand-to-hand choreography, relentlessly conveyed through extended set pieces. Yet beneath the spectacle is a story about conscience and guilt—a story of human connection that makes its revenge story all the more enrapturing. Joaquin Phoenix won a well-deserved Oscar for his portrayal of the Joker—an award that almost served as a retrospective honoring of his past work that went unnoticed by the Academy. For while he received nominations for the likes of Gladiator, Walk the Line and The Master, what is perhaps his greatest (and most devastating) performance got nothing—not even a nomination. The romantic drama Two Lovers follows Phoenix's character Leonard, a man who returns to live with his parents after a broken engagement drives him to attempt to take his own life. With his existence in limbo, Leonard suddenly finds himself torn between two women: the sweet and stable daughter of a business associate, Sandra (Vinessa Shaw), and the fragile, unpredictable neighbor involved with a married man, Michelle (Gwyneth Paltrow). The love triangle that unfolds symbolizes Leonard's torn psyche: Michelle represents desire, uncertainty, emotional risk, while Sandra embodies love, dependability, future promise. Director and writer James Gray (who also created We Own the Night and The Immigrant) avoids clichés in this transfixing story, using Leonard's unstable condition to explore several ideas: how bipolar disorder shapes one's indecision and relational hesitations; how the struggle between passion and pragmatism mirrors a broader search for self; how self-forgiveness and self-acceptance are essential in pointing us in the proper direction. When baseball nerds describe Nolan Ryan's career as an MLB pitcher, I'm not sure his dominance can be properly conveyed via stats alone: his 5,714 strikeouts are more than 800 ahead of the second-place Randy Johnson; only Gerrit Cole's 326 strikeouts come near Ryan's season-best of 383 strikeouts; he has three more no-hitters (seven) than the next closest, Sandy Koufax; and on top of it all, Ryan was still throwing 95+ mph into his 40s, an accomplishment practically unheard of. So if you want to see such supremacy in action, then watch Facing Nolan. Yes, there's plenty of information and stories about Ryan's storied career, which fully detail his reputation as an unstoppable pitcher. But what makes the documentary stand out is how it balances the myth with the relatable, humble man: a Texas rancher, husband and father whose drive was grounded in love and hard work, not just athletic prowess. Featuring interviews with baseball legends like Randy Johnson, Craig Biggio, Roger Clemens, Pete Rose, this documentary from Bradley Jackson not only offers insight into how he achieved such a ferocious fastball (often clocking in over 100 mph), but also how his Texas values—his integrity, his resilience, his loyalty to family and his home—were crucial ingredients for one of the most intimidating figures ever to step on the mound. Do you love genre-bending post-apocalyptic thrillers? How about when they mix Mad Max-style wastelands with cannibalistic horror and tender romances set in a lawless Texas desert? If that kind of movie sounds too impossible to exist, then you haven't seen The Bad Batch—and that needs to be fixed immediately. Conceived by director/writer Ana Lily Amirpour (whose first feature, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, was met with critical acclaim) as 'Road Warrior meets Pretty in Pink,' this gritty, unapologetically weird slice of body horror showcases the auteur's ambition to fuse brutal aesthetics with surreal romanticism, employing an evocative, almost hypnotic aesthetic that's filled with constant tonal shifts, from eerie notes of silence to sudden bursts of violence. The film centers on Arlen (Suki Waterhouse), a young woman literally branded as part of the 'bad batch,' who is dropped into the desert and immediately captured by a group of cannibals. After a brutal escape, Arlen drifts through a wasteland populated by scavengers, bodybuilders and misfits—including a mute drifter known only as Miami Man (Jason Momoa) and a hedonistic cult leader called The Dream (Keanu Reeves). These ever-watchable characters make the jagged but immersive world imagined by Amirpour all the more intoxicating, showcasing the director's world-building talents as she takes a bold, creative leap from her first feature. If you're not up on Emma Seligman, the director of Bottoms, then you're not up on one of the most exciting voices in comedy right now: her ability to turn everyday situations, from family gatherings at funerals to unsure romance amidst high school politics, allows her to craft small worlds that feel huge; her razor-sharp dialogue allows her to turn social anxieties into moments of both hilarity and dread; and her comedic timing is as much about silence, glances and pacing as it is about punchlines. She has such a unique voice, and it was fully on display in her debut feature, Shiva Baby. The film centers on college student Danielle (Rachel Sennott), who attends a shiva with her parents. But little does she expect to run into her sugar daddy, Max (Danny Deferrari), nor her ex-girlfriend, Maya (Molly Gordon), at an event filled with intrusive relatives and nosy family friends. Adapting her own short film with razor-sharp efficiency, Seligman stands out in her debut because of her ability to tell stories from perspectives that rarely get center stage—her protagonists are often queer, complex, and flawed, allowing her comedy to explore identity with nuance rather than stereotypes. Drawing on her own Jewish upbringing and millennial experiences, Seligman crafts characters who feel both highly specific and widely relatable, resulting in an empowering collaboration with Sennott that's driven by strong, unconventional characters. Dystopian movies are a dime a dozen (heck, there's even another one on this list), but using the zombie formula as a deadpan ode to ennui and small-town Americana is definitely a unique approach—one that writer/director Jim Jarmusch utilized nearly 40 years into his legendary career (he also created films like Down by Law, Dead Man and Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai). The result is The Dead Don't Die, a commentary via absurdity, a film that riffs off zombie godfather George Romero's anticapitalist undercurrents (think Dawn of the Dead) but also brings that message into the 21st century with MAGA hats, juvenile detention and environmental disaster denial. Set in the sleepy rural town of Centerville, the cast includes Bill Murray as Chief Cliff Robertson, Adam Driver as the stoic Deputy Ronnie Peterson and Tilda Swinton as the town's Harley-riding mortician, Zelda Winston. When the dead start rising from their graves, the townspeople are caught off guard. And instead of the usual frantic panic, Jarmusch lets the apocalypse unfold with bizarre calmness: Murray and Driver patrol in sloth-like formation, Zelda welds coffins for fun and Jarmusch himself even pops up onscreen as Officer Ronnie's aging hippie father. The cast is rounded out with so many great actors, from Chloë Sevigny to Steve Buscemi to Danny Glover to Austin Butler to Selena Gomez—seriously, the list goes on. They all come together for a film that treats horror convention with ironic distance: zombies shuffle, characters muse and apathy often feels more dangerous than the undead.

Venice Film Festival 2025 Lineup Revealed
Yara Sameh Venice Film Festival artistic director Alberto Barbera has revealed a rich mix of buzzy movies with big stars — as well as smaller titles with awards potential — that will be vying for the Golden Lion during the upcoming 82nd edition. Hotly anticipated new works from Kathryn Bigelow, Guillermo Del Toro, Noah Baumbach, Mona Fastvold, Luca Guadagnino, Yorgos Lanthimos, Olivier Assayas, Park Chan-wook, Benny Safdie, and more are set for Lido launches, making for a cornucopia of cinematic offerings. The festival features big-name films premiering at Venice include Safdie's 'The Smashing Machine' from A24, featuring Dwayne Johnson as two-time UFC heavyweight champ Mark Kerr and Emily Blunt as his wife Dawn; Focus Features' 'Bugonia,' the latest collaboration between Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone, who were last at the fest in 2023 with the Oscar-winning 'Poor Things'; and Luca Guadagnino's psychological drama 'After the Hunt' starring Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri. Guadagnino's latest feature film, which hails from Amazon MGM Studios, is in an out-of-competition slot. Barbera noted that it has been Guadagnino and Amazon/MGM's choice to launch out-of-competition and proudly pointed out that 'After the Hunt' will mark the first time for Julia Roberts on the Venice red carpet. 'We will be welcoming her with great pleasure,' he said. Mona Fastvold's 'The Testament of Ann Lee,' starring Amanda Seyfried as the titular founding leader of the Shaker Movement who was proclaimed as the female Christ by her followers, will bow in competition. The indie film, inspired by real events, was co-written by Fastvold and her partner Brady Corbet ('The Brutalist'). Netflix – as has been the case in the past – will have a robust Venice presence with a trio of high-profile movies, all in competition. The streaming giant's Lido launches comprise Kathryn Bigelow's politically charged 'A House of Dynamite,' marking Bigelow's first time behind the camera since 2017's 'Detroit.' Set during a fictional national security crisis at the White House, 'House of Dynamite' stars Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Greta Lee, Gabriel Basso and Jared Harris. Then there is Noah Baumbach's comedy-drama 'Jay Kelly' co-written with Emily Mortimer and starring George Clooney 'who plays a successful actor going through an identity crisis,' said Barbera, as its titular character, and Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein,' a new take on the classic monster movie with Jacob Elordi, Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth. They are all Netflix original films. But when it comes to streamers making a splash on the Lido, this year's big novelty is repped by expanding arthouse platform Mubi. Mubi has the fest's previously announced opener, Paolo Sorrentino's love story 'La Grazia,' which re-teams the Oscar-winning Italian director with 'The Great Beauty' actor Toni Servillo. The specialty streamer is also on the Lido with Jim Jarmusch triptych film 'Father Mother Sister Brother,' which stars Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Adam Driver and Charlotte Rampling. Mubi also has South Korean auteur Park Chan-wook's 12th feature 'No Other Choice,' marking 20 years since his 'Lady Vengeance' made a major splash on the Lido. Neon has North American distribution rights. Also launching in the Lido competition from Asia are 'The Sun Rises on Us All' by veteran auteur Can Shangjun, who won the Silver Lion for best director at Venice in 2011 with 'People Mountain People Sea,' and 'Girl,' the directorial debut of Taiwanese superstar Shu Qi, a frequent Hou Hsiao-hsien collaborator. Standout out-of-competition titles incude Julian Schnabel's star-studded crime mystery 'In The Hand of Dante,' with an ensemble cast comprising Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler and Martin Scorsese (who plays Dante Alighieri's mentor); Gus Van Sant's hostage thriller 'Dead Man's Wire' with Bill Skarsgård, Colman Domingo, Dacre Montgomery and Al Pacino; Sofia Coppola's documentary tribute to fashion designer Marc Jacobs 'Marc by Sophia'; Werner Herzog's doc 'Ghost Elephants,' which follows a mysterious herd of elephants in the jungles of Angola; and Lucrezia Martel's 'Nuestra Tierra,' about the murder of indigenous activist Javier Chocobar. Noting that Schnabel's film had been held up in a dispute with producers over its 150 minute length, Barbera pointed out that the majority of films at Venice this year, with only one exception, 'last between 2 hours and 15 minutes and 2 hours and 30 minutes,' he said. 'This seems to have become the new international production standard,' Barbera added. 'It's a bit worrying, let me tell you, even for festival programmers because cramming all these movies in our programming calendar is becoming problematic. But we will figure it out.' Leading the crème de la crème French contingent in competition are two major auteurs backed by Gaumont. The venerable French studio will premiere Olivier Assayas' big-budget political thriller 'The Wizard of the Kremlin' which explores the rise of Vladimir Putin — played by Jude Law — and also stars Paul Dano, and Alicia Vikander. Gaumont will also showcase Francois Ozon's comeback to the Lido with 'The Stranger,' his adaptation of the Albert Camus classic exploring themes of human cruelty, existentialism and post-colonialism in 1930s Algeria. Actor-director Valérie Donzelli is in competition with 'À Pied D'Oeuvre,' a drama about a man who goes through lots of changes to pursue his latent dream of becoming a writer. The film is co-written by Donzelli and Gilles Marchand. France also has the fest's out-of-competition closer: Studiocanal's dystopian thriller 'Chien 51,' directed by Cedric Jimenez, starring two of the country's most bankable actors: Adèle Exarchopoulos ('Beating Hearts') and Gilles Lellouche ('The Stronghold'). The movie is produced by the Mediawan-owned Chi-Fou-Mi banner. From elsewhere in Europe, Oscar-winning Hungarian helmer László Names ('Son of Saul') is in competition with period drama 'Orphan,' about a Jewish boy raised by his mother with idealized tales of his deceased father. Also competing from Hungary is the drama 'Silent Friend' by Ildiko Enyedi ('On Body and Soul'), centered around a majestic tree in a botanical garden that observes humans, with an ensemble cast comprising Hong Kong's Tony Leung Chiu-wai in his first role in a European film. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is repped in competition by Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania's hot-button political drama 'The Voice of Hind Rajab,' about the killing of a 5-year-old Palestinian girl who was left stranded in a car that had been attacked by Israeli forces in Gaza on Jan. 29, 2024 and later found dead. 'I think this is one of the films that will make a greater impression, and I hope not polemics,' said Barbera. He noted that Ben Hania used the real audio tapes of phone calls between the girl and her mother. Saudi Arabian director Shahad Ameen, whose feminist fable 'Scales' made a splash after launching from Venice in 2019, is back on the Lido with 'Hijra,' a drama centered on the bond formed between different generations of Saudi women during a journey across the desert. 'Hijra' will play in Venice's new Venezia Spotlight section that replaces Horizons Extra. Opening the Horizons section dedicated to more cutting-edge works is 'Mother,' which marks the English-language debut of North Macedonian filmmaker Teona Strugar Mitevska ('God Exists, Her Name Is Petrunya') and stars Noomi Rapace as Mother Teresa. The robust Italian roster includes 'Below the Clouds,' the new high-profile doc by Gianfranco Rosi whose 'Sacro GRA' scooped the 2013 Venice Golden Lion and 'Duse,' Pietro Marcello's biopic of legendary Italian stage diva Eleonora Duse, played by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, in competition. 'A Year of School' by rising auteur Laura Samani, who made a splash with 'Small Body' in 2021, is launching in Horizons, as is 'The Kidnapping of Arabella,' the sophomore film by Carolina Cavalli whose 'Amanda' was a standout in Orizzonti Extra in 2022. Italy's Benedetta Porcaroli ('The Leopard') and Chris Pine co-star in 'Arabella'. Interestingly, Italian directors have secured three of Venice's four slots dedicated to TV series. Veteran auteur Marco Bellocchio will launch a show titled 'Portobello' that reconstructs one of Italy's most clamorous travesties of justice, while genre specialist Stefano Sollima will bow Netflix original 'The Monster of Florence,' about a harrowing string of sex-related murders that took place outside Florence from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s. Studiocanal series 'A Prophet,' directed by Italy's Enrico Maria Artale ('Django' the series), is an adaptation of Jacques Audiard's 2009 film with a diverse new cast led by Mamadou Sidibé. The fourth TV series premiering at Venice is 'Etty,' an adaptation of the diaries of Dutch author Etty Hillesum, who was murdered in Auschwitz. It's directed by Hagai Levi, the creator of Israeli TV series 'Be'Tipul,' which was adapted into HBO's 'In Treatment.' Two-time Oscar winner Alexander Payne will preside over the main jury. The 82nd edition of Venice will run August 27-September 6. See the full lineup below.
