The 59 Best Netflix Original Movies (Harper's Bazaar)
Think about the best movie you've seen in the last few years. The Power of the Dog, Roma, Beyoncé's Homecoming. Yeah, they're all Netflix Original films. It's wild to think that Netflix only just got into the filmmaking game in 2015 with Beasts of No Nation. It feels as though it's been here since Ilsa walked into Rick's gin joint all those years ago. Okay, maybe not that long ago, but you get the idea. For about seven years, the streaming giant has showed zero signs of slowing down, elevating its slate of buzzy originals every year, with accolades getting super serious in 2019 when Roma, Marriage Story, The Irishman, and more saw legit runs on the awards circuit, culminating in Oscar nominations and wins. Which brings us to our superlative list: the best Original Netflix movies. Because the streamer has more than 1,500 Originals to peruse, we thought we'd do the curation work for you. From animated allegories and innovative horror to profound dramas and crowd-pleasing comedies.
