What is the best movie I can watch on Netflix? We've all asked ourselves this question, only to spend the next 15 minutes scrolling through the streaming service's oddly specific genre menus and be overwhelmed by the ever-changing trending menus. Netflix's massive movie catalog continues to expand day by day, week by week, month by month. This makes the challenge of staying up-to-date with the best the service has to offer – let alone finding the best of what to watch after a long day – a task that at best feels fantastic and at worst impossible for someone who not connected to its unfathomable rhythms.

We are here to help. For those suffering from February choice paralysis, we've narrowed down your options to not only our favorite movies on the platform, but also the best movies Netflix has to offer.
