The 20 best films on Netflix, according to Rotten Tomatoes

Many smaller, documentaries and short films also have high notes, but here are the highest rated feature films available on Netflix at the time of publication. This can change as movies come in and out of the catalog, and new criticism can raise or decrease notes at some percentage points.

The oldest film dates from the 1950s. The latest hit the platform this year. The rest covers several decades and genres, with titles in both live-action and animation.

20. Zombie Invasion (Train to Busan, 2016) – 95% at Rotten Tomatoes
One of the best – if not o Better – Zombie movies ever made. The South Korean drama takes place mostly inside a train, while a father and his daughter, along with other passengers, try to survive a sudden and frightening zombie outbreak. Prepare the scarves.

19. Rebel Ridge (2024) – 95%
Original Netflix productions are usually generic and weak, even with large stars. Rebel Ridge was a surprise. Imagine Jack Reacher, only black, facing a racist gang of corrupt police in the southern US. And unlike Reacher, Terry Richmond (lived by Aaron Pierre) is not a killer. I have never seen such an unknown action movie.

18. Summer Madness (American Graffiti, 1973) – 95%
Before Star WarsGeorge Lucas directed this classic that portrays with style and emotion the summer after the end of high school in a small American town in the 1950s. Fast cars, beautiful and melancholic goodbye. A true treasure of cinema.

17. Kpop Demon Hunters (2025) – 96%
Probably the latest release on the list. This Korean animation brings K-Pop stars that secretly are hunters of demons. Rumi, Mira and Zoey conciliate crowded shows and battles against evil, all with Korean pop soundtrack for the whole family to enjoy.

16. For all the boys I already loved (2018) – 96%
I haven’t watched it yet, but if you’re in the mood of a well -received teen romantic comedy, this is the movie. The plot revolves around a teenager who sees his secret love letters to be revealed.

15. Tangerine (2015) – 96%
It is definitely not a children’s movie. Accompanies a trans sex worker who seeks revenge against an unfaithful pimp/boyfriend. I haven’t seen it yet, but director Sean Baker has excellent works like Florida Project e Aor.

14. A Lego Adventure (The Lego Movie, 2014) – 96%
I was positively surprised when this movie came out. It’s hilarious, with a great soundtrack and a well -tied script. The ending is especially touching. It’s still the best among Lego movies.

13. A Voz Suprema do Blues (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, 2020) – 97%
I had never heard of this movie before setting up the list. The synopsis: “Tensions increase in a music studio in Chicago in 1927, when Blues singer Ma Rainey arrives for a recording session.” I really like period movies and blues of the 1920s!

12. I lost my body (I Lost My Body, 2019) – 97%
One of the animations on the list. It tells the story of a severed hand that escapes from a laboratory and goes in search of the body to which it belongs. A unique premise, which has won public and critical.

11. Mad Max: Road of Fury (2015) – 97%
One of the best action movies of all time, back to Netflix. It doesn’t matter if you like post-apocalyptic stories or not if you saw others Mad Max. This is mandatory. A true masterpiece-and I am shocked by not being 100%.

10. Tubarão (JAWS, 1975) – 97%
The classic monster movie turns 50 in 2025. Hard to believe. Shark practically invented a new style of suspense, influencing since Jurassic Park until Megatubarão. The cast is impeccable and Spielberg’s special effects marked time. I even have a poster of this movie on the wall.

9. PSYCHOSE (PSYCHO, 1960) – 97%
As much as I love PsychosisFrom Hitchcock, he doesn’t even get into my top 5. He’s terrifying and brilliantly directed, but the end takes me seriously. Next time, I think I’ll hang up before that horrible scene with the psychologist. Still, it’s a classic.

8. Indiscreet window (Rear Window, 1954) – 99%
When he arrived at Netflix recently, I said it was “one of the best suspensions ever made” – and is the purest truth. It’s also one of James Stewart’s best movies, and look, I’m his superfan. (Other favorites of mine: Happiness is not purchased, The man who killed the facinora, Scandalous marriage e Harvey).

7. Miss Juneteenth (2020) – 99%
It tells the story of a former Miss who tries to prepare his teenage daughter for the Miss Junecent contest. The criticism loved it, but the public not so much (57%note).

6. Sob a Sombra (Under the Shadow, 2016) – 99%
During the Iran-Iran war, a missile hits Shideh’s building, and a neighbor says he was cursed and brought an evil spirit. From there, she believes the building is possessed and wants to take her daughter. A terror with war elements – very interesting.

5. The Forty-Year Old Version (2020) – 99%
The only pun on the list, playing with the name of The 40 -year -old virgin. Here, we follow Radha, a crisis playwright about to turn 40, who decides to bet on hip hop. An unlikely meeting between rap and theater.

4. Parasite (parasite, 2019) – 99%
This South Korean movie is a must for those who enjoy dark and suspense comedy-although it escapes any label. It deals with family, inequality and pain caused by class difference. Unexpected in every way. Just watching.

3. Godzilla Minus One (2023) – 99%
I have never been a fan of Godzilla movies – especially Americans, who exaggerate the effects and ignore the social side present in the original. But this new Japanese movie is brilliant. What they did with such little budget is impressive.

2.
Two brothers, orphans of war, try to survive in the last months of World War II. Watch before Godzilla Minus Onewhich is set in the next period. One of Studio Ghibli’s masterpieces-as tragic as it is beautiful.

1. Wallace & Gromit: Poultry Revenge (2024) – 100%
A lovely, hilarious and charm family movie. Dough duo Wallace and Gromit is back for another eccentric adventure, facing vengeful penguins and a “smart gnome.” The return of Feathers McGraw (over 30 years later!) Makes this animation one of the most charming available today.
