Need something to watch on Netflix tonight? You have a lot to scroll through, but we’ve narrowed it down to 10 movies that should do the trick.
From cheesy action flicks to a mind-blowing comedy special, here are 10 movies you can’t miss on Netflix now:
Best of the Best (1989)
Let’s begin with the best of the best, as it relates to the cream of the crop among these Netflix picks. The Americans prepare for a showdown against Korea in a global Tae Kwon Do tournament. First they must work through their intra-squad tension before they can become the best of, well, you know. A late ‘80s action masterpiece starring Eric Roberts, Phillip Rhee, Christopher Penn and the great James Earl Jones as the coach of a Tae Kwon Do team. Thank me later, mere weeks away from the Fourth of July.
Bo Burnham: Inside (2021)
A new comedy special shot and performed by Bo Burnham, alone, over the course of the past year. This blew me away. Not to sound hyperbolic, but I’ve never seen anything like it. The best piece of post-COVID art I’ve seen thus far, Burnham’s talent and creativity is off the charts. The fact that one person produced the bulk of this by himself is confounding. Burnham has a very bright future in filmmaking, but fans of “Eighth Grade” already knew that. Top it off with the fact that the music rules, too. You may have already heard his viral (for good reason) hits like “Welcome to the Internet,” “White Girl’s Instagram” and “All Eyes on Me.” Highest recommendation.
Election (1999)
A high school teacher meets his match in an over-achieving student politician against the backdrop of an election for class president that gets much darker than it should. “Sideways” and “About Schmidt” director Alexander Payne’s biting comedy hits harder than ever and gives actors Matthew Broderick, Reese Witherspoon and Chris Klein some career-best work.
Fatherhood (2021)
Kevin Hart stars as a father bringing up his baby girl as a single dad after the unexpected death of his wife who died a day after their daughter’s birth in this original Netflix drama. Just a few days removed from Father’s Day, you can catch up on this touching story putting comic Hart in a slightly more dramatic role than we’re used to seeing from him.
Loving (2016)
The story of Richard and Mildred Loving, a couple whose arrest for interracial marriage in 1960s Virginia began a legal battle that would end with the Supreme Court’s historic 1967 decision. From director Jeff Nichols, this tender take on a pivotal moment in American history sees brilliant turns from Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton as a quiet couple guilty of merely loving one another.
Middle of Nowhere (2012)
Emayatzy Corinealdi stars as a woman on a journey of self-discovery when she drops out of medical school in order to focus on her incarcerated husband’s well-being in “Selma” and “When They See Us” director Ava DuVernay’s gripping drama.
The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)
A revenge movie staple, this stars Eastwood as a Missouri farmer-turned-feared gunslinger who goes on the hunt for the Union soldiers who murdered his family. A solid entry in the revisionist Western genre, to which Eastwood contributed multiple masterpieces. One of your dad’s all-time favorite movies, probably.
The Social Network (2010)
David Fincher’s masterful take on Aaron Sorkin’s Oscar-winning script about the origin of Facebook remains one of the best films of the 2010s. Eminently rewatchable, especially through a 2021 prism with all what Mark Zuckerberg’s website has become, it stars Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake and Rooney Mara. Also has one of the best trailers ever made. Watch it above.
Stand By Me (1986)
After the death of one of his friends, a writer recounts a childhood journey with his friends to find the body of a missing boy. Rob Reiner’s touching adaptation of Stephen King’s story “The Body” remains a coming-of-age classic thanks to the surehanded directing and the young cast featuring Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O’Connell and Kiefer Sutherland.
Under Siege (1992)
Steven Seagal’s best movie? He plays an ex-Navy Seal turned cook who is the only person who can stop a group of terrorists (led by Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey) when they seize control of a U.S. battleship. From Andrew Davis, the director of “The Fugitive,” so you know it rules. We can confirm, it does. Plus, it was filmed aboard the USS Alabama in Mobile!
