It’s a worn-out joke at this point: you settle in to watch a movie on Netflix, and end up spending so much time trying to decide what to watch you give up and just look at TikTok or something until passing out on the couch. Hey, it’s funny because it’s true. But it doesn’t have to be. 

Even as its status as the vanguard of the streaming revolution has taken a hit in recent years, the numbers show that Netflix is still king of the streamers, and boasts enough must-see movies that it’d take a busy person years to get through them all. To help you avoid the endless scroll, we’ve assembled this list sorting the great from the gunk. Whether you’re in the mood for a romcom, a historical epic, a thought-provoking doc or Jacob Elordi as an emo Frankenstein’s monster, you’re bound to find something that’ll entertain you tonight.
