How to get cast in a netflix original

Netflix's new series I Am Not Okay With This is produced by the same people who did Stranger Things, so it makes sense that I Am Not Okay With This also has a cast of up-and-coming young talents. Some of the series' stars are established in their field, but for most of them, this was one of the biggest projects they've done yet. The series is centered around Sydney (IT star Sophia Lillis) a not-so-normal teenager -- because she has superpowers. Only she just discovered them, and she doesn't know how to control them, so things get out of hand quickly. In the very first episode she accidentally gives her bestie's new boyfriend a nosebleed, and we won't spoil the ending, but it gets... let's just say explosive.Although the series is produced by the Stranger Things team and directed by the same person as The End of the F***ing World, I Am Not Okay With This stands on its own as well. Part of that is due to the original story (also penned by End of the F***ing World author Charles Forsman), but a lot of it is to do with this talented cast and how well they mesh together. Guess which major movie studio produces the most original films each year. It's the one that doesn't use theaters! Netflix has reinvented both the streaming and the traditional movie games thanks in large part to its aggressive original programming strategy. Currently, Netflix is scheduled to have at least one new movie every week for all of 2021. With so many new movies to watch, there are bound to be a few duds in the mix. (Nobody's perfect.) To make it easier for you to suss out the ones most worth your time, we've put together a list of the best Netflix original movies that you can stream right now. Your next movie night awaits. Further reading: I Care a Lot (2021) One of the more unusual gangster movies you'll see, I Care a Lot revolves around the strange, nefarious world of court-appointed guardians for the elderly. Marla Grayson (Rosamund Pike) is the most professional and ruthless in the business. Marla and her business partner, Fran (Eiza Gonz?lez), operate a well-oiled machine of seizing the assets of elderly wards and bilking them out of their money through completely legal -- if extremely unethical -- methods. But when she targets Jennifer Peterson (Dianne Wiest), a wealthy retiree with no living heirs or family, she may have bitten off more than she can chew. Jennifer, it just so happens, harbors her own dark secrets and has close connections to a supremely volatile gangster (Peter Dinklage) who is fully ready to play extralegal hardball. Rotten Tomatoes: 80% Genre: Mystery And Thriller, Comedy Stars: Rosamund Pike, Dianne Wiest, Peter Dinklage Director: J Blakeson Rating: R Runtime: 118 minutes Watch on Netflix Mank (2020) Directed by David Fincher from a script written by his late father, Jack Fincher, Mank takes you back to the Golden Age of Hollywood. Specifically, it brings you into the world of Herman J. Mankiewicz -- known not so affectionately as "Mank" -- as he races to finish his magnum opus, Citizen Kane. His worldview and perspective of Hollywood are increasingly scathing and fueled by drink as he becomes jaded by the industry he's working so hard to prop up. Rotten Tomatoes: 83% Genre: Biography, Drama, History Stars: Gary Oldman, Amanda Seyfried, Lily Collins Director: David Fincher Rating: R Runtime: 132 minutes Watch on Netflix To All The Boys: Always and Forever (2021) The final iteration in Netflix's popular teen romantic comedy trilogy, To All The Boys: Always and Forever caps off Lara Jean (Lana Condor) and Peter's (Noah Centineo) surprise high school relationship in touching fashion. After returning from a family trip to Korea, Lara Jean is ready to make the biggest decision of her life. Or is she? Considering college plans with -- and without -- Noah, Lara Jean has to decide if she's ready to put a capstone on this part of her life. Rotten Tomatoes: 78% Genre: Comedy, Romance Stars: Lana Condor, Noah Centineo, Janel Parrish Director: Michael Fimognari Rating: PG-13 Runtime: 109 minutes Watch on Netflix The Dig (2021) The Dig was Netflix's first breakout movie of 2021. It's based on John Preston's novel, which was in turn inspired by the real events of the Sutton Hoo archeological dig in 1939. Carey Mulligan plays Edith Pretty, a widower who hires archaeologist Basil Brown (Ralph Fiennes) to investigate some burial mounds on her property. What he finds quickly draws attention from the government and more prominent archeologists. It also threatens to push both Basil and Edith out of the picture. Meanwhile, Edith and Basil develop a burgeoning romantic bond, despite Basil's marriage and Edith's fragile health. The film takes a few liberties with history, but it makes for a stronger drama. Rotten Tomatoes: 87% Genre: Drama, Historical Stars: Carey Mulligan, Ralph Fiennes, Lily James, Johnny Flynn Director: Simon Stone Rating: PG-13 Runtime: 112 minutes Watch on Netflix The White Tiger (2021) You probably haven't heard of Adarsh Gourav before, but that's likely to change after seeing him in The White Tiger. In his first leading role in a movie, Gourav takes center stage in the adaptation of Aravind Adiga's novel. Balram Halwai (Gourav) is a man whose chance to escape poverty and servitude was lost while he was still a child. As an adult, Balram blackmails his way into the service of a rich couple: Ashok (Rajkummar Rao) and Pinky (Priyanka Chopra Jonas). Despite their relative kindness towards him, Balram realizes that he's still trapped in a life that he doesn't want. And getting ahead in the world is going to require some drastic measures. Rotten Tomatoes: 92% Genre: Drama Stars: Adarsh Gourav, Rajkummar Rao, Priyanka Chopra Jonas Director: Ramin Bahrani Rating: R Runtime: 125 minutes Watch on Netflix Finding `Ohana (2021) Finding `Ohana is pretty unapologetic about the way it channels The Goonies by way of Hawaiian mythology. Kea Peahu and Alex Aiono star as Pili and Ioane, a pair of siblings who are moved back to Hawaii by their mother, Leilani (Kelly Hu), to take care of their grandfather, Kimo (Branscombe Richmond). While learning more about their family heritage, Pili comes across a journal owned by Kimo that may lead to a lost pirate treasure. Soon after, Pili drags her new friend, Casper (Owen Vaccaro), and Ioane on the adventure of a lifetime. Rotten Tomatoes: 83% Genre: Adventure, Family Stars: Kea Peahu, Alex Aiono, Lindsay Watson, Owen Vaccaro Director: Jude Weng Rating: PG Runtime: 123 minutes Watch on Netflix Pieces of a Woman (2020) Get some tissues ready -- you may need them for Pieces of a Woman. Vanessa Kirby and Shia LaBeouf star as Martha and Sean, a young couple expecting their first child. When their child's home birth goes horribly wrong, both Martha and Sean sink into crippling depression. Martha's mother, Elizabeth (Ellen Burstyn) also puts enormous pressure on the couple, while a midwife named Eva Woodward (Molly Parker) faces grave consequences of her own. This is very much a story of grief and what comes after. Some broken pieces remain shattered, but the rest can still be put back together again. Rotten Tomatoes: 76% Genre: Drama Stars: Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, Sarah Snook Director: Korn?l Mundrucz? Rating: R Runtime: 128 minutes Watch on Netflix The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) In 1968, protests broke out at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and local and federal law enforcement responded with extreme violence. In 1969, seven people were further charged by the federal government with conspiracy and more anti-American activities and put on a highly publicized trial that served as a referendum on Cold War patriotism and the social unrest of the '60s. Aaron Sorkin wrote and directed this high-energy legal drama with his traditional panache frenetic pacing. Rotten Tomatoes: 90% Genre: Drama, Historical Stars: Eddie Redmayne, Alex Sharp, Sacha Baron Cohen Director: Aaron Sorkin Rating: R Runtime: 129 minutes Watch on Netflix To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018) Netflix forays into teen romance in To All the Boys I've Loved Before and the slightly-less-beloved sequel To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You. Lana Condor stars as teenaged Lara Jean, a quiet outsider at her high school, who has a habit of writing love letters to all of her crushes. Of course, she'd never dream of sending them. But when they're mysteriously leaked to the entire school, it turns out her crushes may actually be interested. As all that romance begins to spiral out of control, the letters wreak havoc on her life, inspiring more love than she can handle. Rotten Tomatoes: 96% Genre: Romance, Comedy Stars: Lana Condor, Noah Centineo, John Corbett Director: Susan Johnson Rating: TV-14 Runtime: 99 minutes Watch on Netflix Enola Holmes (2020) Everybody knows Sherlock Holmes, but did you know his significantly younger sister, Enola? Turns out, he doesn't know her very well either. But when their mother suddenly goes missing and Sherlock takes only a tepid interest, Enola (Millie Bobby Brown) proves she's got just as much sleuthing ability as her famous brother as she takes off for London to uncover the mystery. Along the way, she helps a runaway lord, unwittingly stumbling into a sprawling conspiracy impacting the highest levels of government. Rotten Tomatoes: 91% Genre: Mystery & Thriller, Comedy Stars: Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, Helena Bonham Carter Director: Harry Bradbeer Rating: TV-14 Runtime: 123 minutes Watch on Netflix The Platform (2019) This Spanish dystopian film takes place in a prison in the future. In this prison, inmates on the higher floors are fed. Those below, are left the scant scraps, or they're simply left to starve. One man, however, will seek to effect change from within. The Platform is gruesome and unyielding in its ferocity and farce, making it particularly difficult to stomach at times. But with pointed satire on mass incarceration, wealth disparity, and a predominantly positive message, it's an entertaining watch. Rotten Tomatoes: 79% Genre: Mystery & Thriller, Sci-Fi Stars: Emilio Buale, Ivan Massagu?, Antonia San Juan Director: Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 94 minutes Watch on Netflix Cuties (2020) At this point, Cuties is probably more widely renowned for putting a bullseye on Netflix for Texas Sen. Mike Lee and other pearl-clutching Americans to shoot at. While Cuties is indeed uncomfortable to watch, there's far more to be appalled at than 11-year-old girls reenacting the sensual dancing they're constantly bombarded by in modern media. Amy is an 11-year-old Senegalese girl living in one of the poorest areas of Paris with her traditional mother. When Amy discovers a group of friends through a mutual love of dance, she soon discovers that in the modern world, they'll gain far more recognition and notoriety as a dance troupe if they make their routines sexier. As an outsider desperately trying to fit in, Amy will risk her relationship with her mother and compromise her values to acclimate to a world that will not accept her if she doesn't. Rotten Tomatoes: 86% Genre: Comedy, Drama Stars: Fathia Youssouf Abdillahi, Medina El Aidi, Esther Gohourou Director: Ma?mouna Doucour? Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 96 minutes Watch on Netflix Project Power (2020) Netflix's newest foray into the superhero genre, Project Power has a darker twist than your average Marvel movie. New Orleans is being ravaged by a new drug that's mysteriously flooded the market. The problem: It gives users temporary superpowers. Another problem: The users have no idea what their superpowers are until they start using them. Some people might turn invisible, some might spit fire. It's chaos. Now, an ex-soldier, a cop, and a teenager will collide in their mutual hunt for the source behind the pill, known as Project Power. But to get to the bottom of it, they may just have to use the pill themselves. Rotten Tomatoes: 60% Genre: Action & Adventure Stars: Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Dominique Fishback Director: Mattson Tomlin Rating: R Runtime: 111 minutes Watch on Netflix The Old Guard (2020) Before Project Power, Netflix dived superheroes with The Old Guard, about a covert group of tight-knit, immortal mercenaries who have fought to protect the mortal world for centuries. Led by Andy (Charlize Theron), the team is recruited to take on an emergency mission where their abilities are suddenly exposed to the world. Now, Andy and her team must eliminate the threat of those who seek to replicate or monetize their power. Based on Greg Rucka's acclaimed graphic novel, The Old Guard is gritter and more grounded than your standard superhero movie, without sacrificing any of the action. Rotten Tomatoes: 81% Genre: Action & Adventure, Mystery & Suspense, Science Fiction & Fantasy Stars: Charlize Theron, Chiwetel Ejiofor, KiKi Layne Director: Gina Prince-Bythewood Rating: R Runtime: 125 minutes Watch on Netflix Extraction (2020) Chris Hemsworth as a mercenary with a heart? Sign us up! Hemsworth plays Tyler Rake, a mercenary with nothing to lose when he's hired to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned international crime lord. However, there's much more than meets the eye to this "simple" rescue mission. In the murky underworld of weapons dealing and drug trafficking, Rake and the boy find themselves caught in the middle of something significantly larger, forever altering both of their lives. With awesome stunt work, electric fight choreography, and Hemsworth's endless charm, Extraction is a great watch if you're looking for an explosive time. Rotten Tomatoes: 68% Genre: Drama, Action & Adventure Stars: Chris Hemsworth, David Harbour, Derek Luke Director: Sam Hargrave Rating: R Runtime: 116 minutes Watch on Netflix Dolemite Is My Name (2019) Though it was surprisingly left out of the Oscars race, this biographical comedy starring Eddie Murphy as the late Rudy Ray Moore has received near-universal praise. Murphy's first R-rated movie since 1999's Life, the film was nominated for Best Motion Picture -- Musical or Comedy at the 77th Golden Globe Awards. Murphy, who plays the singing/filmmaking/acting/kung-fu fighting personality Dolemite with immense precision, was also nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. Rotten Tomatoes: 97% Genre: Drama Stars: Eddie Murphy, Wesley Snipes, Keegan Michael-Key Director: Craig Brewer Rating: R Runtime: 118 minutes Watch on Netflix Marriage Story (2019) Directed by Noah Baumbach, Marriage Story follows Charlie (Adam Driver) and Nicole (Scarlett Johansson) as they grapple with a crumbling marriage while raising a young son. It features a pair of memorable performances by Driver and Johansson, and garnered plenty of awards and attention as a result. That attention brought this Netflix movie six Academy Awards nominations (and one win for Laura Dern), six Golden Globes Awards nominations, and three Academy Film Awards nominations. Rotten Tomatoes: 95% Genre: Drama Stars: Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson, Laura Dern Director: Noah Baumbach Rating: R Runtime: 136 minutes Watch on Netflix The Two Popes (2019) One of three Netflix originals nominated for multiple awards at the 2019 Oscars, The Two Popes is nevertheless something of the black sheep in terms of media coverage between Marriage Story and The Irishman. It makes sense because The Two Popes isn't exactly pop cinema. Rather, it's primarily two legendary actors at the pinnacle of their craft depicting an oft-overlooked tradition that is centuries old. Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce portray the conservative Pope Benedict XVI and the liberal incoming Pope Francis as they discuss the future of the Catholic Church. Director Fernando Meirelles brilliantly captures the real tension between these two men while providing air for Hopkins and Pryce (who were both Oscar-nominated for these roles) to build a relationship that ultimately feels sustainable and hopeful. Rotten Tomatoes: 89% Genre: Drama Stars: Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Pryce Director: Fernando Meirelles Rating: PG-13 Runtime: 125 minutes Watch on Netflix The Babysitter (2017) The 2010s were a great era for comedic horror. From 2010's Tucker and Dale Battle Evil to Blumhouse's Happy Death Day franchise, laughing was never so en vogue. Netflix entered the fray with 2017's The Babysitter, a bloody twist on the familiar Home Alone tropes we all know. Instead of Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern as robbers, however, The Babysitter features a delightfully sadistic Bella Thorne as a teenage babysitter who just so happens to be a maniacal Satanist in her spare time. When 12-year-old Cole Johnson (Judah Lewis) snoops on what his babysitter, Bee (Thorne), gets up to when he's supposed to be asleep, he gets swept up into a sick, psychotic murder fantasy. And yes, it's funny! Rotten Tomatoes: 72% Genre: Horror Stars: Bella Thorne, Judah Lewis, Hana Mae Lee Director: Brian Duffield Rating: NR Runtime: 90 minutes Watch on Netflix Between Two Ferns: The Movie (2019) A starring vehicle for Zach Galifianakis's meta-portrayal of himself as a talk show host, Between Two Ferns: The Movie takes the gags found in the popular Funny or Die series to new heights. It begins with Matthew McConaughey's accidental death, which forces Galifianakis's boss, Will Ferrell, to demand that he generate enough clicks with his videos to justify earning a late-night talk show. Cue a road trip across the country to interview as many celebrities as possible! The film is as wacky as its source material and rarely makes sense, which is sort of the point. John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Peter Dinklage, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Rudd, and many more make cameos. Rotten Tomatoes: 74% Genre: Comedy Stars: Zach Galifianakis, Lauren Lapkus, Ryan Gaul Director: Scott Aukerman Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 82 minutes Watch on Netflix Triple Frontier (2019) Netflix probably isn't the first place you'd look to find an action movie starring some of Hollywood's hottest leading men, and yet, Triple Frontier exists. Directed by J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) and starring Ben Affleck, Charlie Hunnam, Oscar Isaac, and Pedro Pascal, Triple Frontier follows five former Special Forces operatives who reunite to stage a heist in a small border zone in South America. It's a personal mission -- a far cry from their patriotic pasts -- so when things take an unexpected turn, their skills, loyalties, and morality are all pushed to the limits. Action-packed and thrilling to the end, Triple Frontier is a Netflix heat check, proving it can make big-time blockbusters. Rotten Tomatoes: 72% Genre: Drama, Action & Adventure Stars: Ben Affleck, Charlie Hunnam, Oscar Isaac Director: J.C. Chandor Rating: R Runtime: 125 minutes Watch on Netflix Always Be My Maybe (2019) Netflix has been making rom-coms for as long as it's been making original content, but it didn't strike gold until Always Be My Maybe. Starring Ali Wong and Randall Park (with hilarious support from Keanu Reeves and Daniel Dae Kim), the film explores the evolution of friendship across a lifetime. Marcus (Park) and Sasha (Wong) are lifelong friends who have never been romantic. Marcus, however, has been in love with Sasha for many years and when she's finally single, he musters up the courage to ask her out. Naturally, she met someone the night before. Missed connections and what-ifs characterize this feel-good romp about the boundaries of love and friendship. Rotten Tomatoes: 89% Genre: Comedy Stars: Ali Wong, Randall Park, Keanu Reeves Director: Nahnatchka Khan Rating: PG-13 Runtime: 102 minutes Watch on Netflix Private Life (2018) Netflix ventures into R-rated prestige territory with Tamara Jenkins' Private Life. Paul Giamatti and Kathryn Hahn star as a middle-aged couple desperate to start a family who just can't seem to get it right no matter how hard they try. With hope dwindling, they turn to a niece as a final home run swing. The film debuted at Sundance and received rave reviews before Netflix acquired and repackaged it for streaming. With outstanding performances from Giamatti and former SNL-er Hahn, it's a roller coaster of emotions that will make you both laugh and cry. Rotten Tomatoes: 94% Genre: Drama Stars: Paul Giamatti, Kathryn Hahn Director: Tamara Jenkins Rating: R Runtime: 123 minutes Watch on Netflix Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (2018) Although Disney and Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book got more attention, there were actually two live-action adaptations of Rudyard Kipling's famous book between 2016 and 2018. And, believe it or not, Netflix's Mowgli is worth your time. Directed by CGI wizard Andy Serkis and featuring an all-star cast of Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Benedict Cumberbatch, Naomie Harris, and Serkis himself, Mowgli doesn't shy away from some of the scarier, darker elements of The Jungle Book. A more PG-13 approach to the source material, the Tiger Shere Khan is genuinely terrifying and Serkis's deft handling of the animation makes for an intense, high-octane thrill ride that's as beautiful as it is violent. Rotten Tomatoes: 53% Genre: Action & Adventure Stars: Rohan Chand, Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale Director: Andy Serkis Rating: PG-13 Runtime: 104 minutes Watch on Netflix The King (2019) David Michod's prestige drama, The King, depicts Hal, the Prince of Wales (Timothee Chalamet) as he is reluctantly hoisted to the English throne. Having chosen to live among the people, Hal has no interest in assuming the throne but, after the death of his tyrannical father, King Henry IV, Hal is nonetheless crowned and forced to embrace the life he tried to escape. Of course, this being 16thcentury England, there are murky, dangerous waters of war and politics to navigate. An adaptation of the Henriad plays, this visually-profound film is dripping with intrigue and action, keeping you on the edge of your seat throughout. Rotten Tomatoes: 72% Genre: Comedy Stars: Timothee Chalamet, Joel Edgerton, Ben Mendelsohn, Sean Harris, Robert Pattinson Director: David Mich?d Rating: R Runtime: 133 minutes Watch on Netflix The Irishman (2019) It may take a few sittings to get through the entirety of The Irishman given the length, but it's worth the investment. Unlike some Netflix films, this one also made a theatrical run, a clear gambit to earn recognition from the Academy during awards season. Given the people involved, however, you'd have to be mad not to go for awards recognition. Directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Joe Pesci -- all de-aged using bleeding-edge CGI -- this film is like an acting class on steroids. De Niro plays Frank Sheeran, a truck driver in Philadelphia who gets involved with the mob only to work his way up to becoming legendary gangster Jimmy Hoffa's (Pacino) right-hand man. Part gangster epic, part historical expose on the influence of the Teamsters union and the mob on American politics, The Irishman is yet another extraordinary bullet on Scorsese's resume. Rotten Tomatoes: 96% Genre: Drama Stars: Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci Director: Martin Scorsese Rating: R Runtime: 209 minutes Watch on Netflix Beasts of No Nation (2015) Cary Fukunaga (True Detective) wrote, co-produced, and directed this drama based on the 2005 novel of the same name by Uzodinma Iweala. The film follows Agu (Abraham Attah), a young West African boy who finds himself unwillingly conscripted into an army of children under the fist of a ruthless Commandant (Idris Elba). Beasts pulls no punches, depicting horrific scenes of violence unflinchingly, and does an incredible job making us empathize with Agu -- even as he and his contemporaries are murdering their own countrymen in cold blood. Elba conveys a sense of quiet intensity, channeling religious fanaticism and calm determination in equal measure for a masterful performance (one which earned him a SAG award), and Fukunaga's sharply contrasting direction effectively mirror's Agu's descent into militaristic hedonism. Beasts qualifies as Netflix's first big feature hit, forecasting many more to come. Rotten Tomatoes: 92% Genre: Drama Stars: Idris Elba, Abraham Attah Director: Cary Joji Fukunaga Rating: R Runtime: 120 minutes Watch on Netflix Tallulah (2016) Tallulah is a low-stakes dramedy carried by an impressive cast who imbues the film with a sense of authenticity. When petty thief Tallulah (Ellen Page) finds her partner in crime has gone missing, she heads to New York in pursuit, but ends up impulsively abducting a small child before ending up at the apartment of her partner's mother, Margo (Allison Janney). The movie focuses primarily on the relationship between `Lu' and Margo, as both women work to overcome their personal problems while Lu tries to hide the child's true identity. Meanwhile, Tammy Blanchard is excellent as the child's mother, who's too concerned with herself to truly feel worried about her missing kid. The movie never quite feels as lived-in as some of our favorite indie films, but Tallulah is full of heart, and its two leads are phenomenal. Rotten Tomatoes: 85% Genre: Drama Stars: Ellen Page, Allison Janney, Uzo Aduba Director: Sian Heder Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 111 minutes Watch on Netflix Imperial Dreams (2014) Imperial Dreams premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, winning the Audience Award, but didn't see the light of day until appearing on Netflix's digital shelves in early 2017. John Boyega (Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi) plays Bambi, a young felon who returns to the treacherous Imperial Courts apartments of Watts, Los Angeles after being released from prison. Bambi must care for his son, Daytone, whose life has fallen into chaos after Bambi's girlfriend (Keke Palmer) is sent to jail. Meanwhile, Bambi must balance his own passions to be a writer against the demands of his old crew, who want his services as a drug mule. Director Malik Vitthal, born and raised in L.A., wanted to contrast the life of a father against the life of a gangster to show that the two lifestyles are not mutually exclusive. For Star Wars fans, it's just fun to see Boyega in a much different, more nuanced role. Rotten Tomatoes: 92% Genre: Drama Stars: John Boyega, Keke Palmer, Glenn Plummer Director: Mark Vitthal Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 87 minutes Watch on Netflix Gerald's Game (2017) There's nothing hotter than Stephen King books getting adaptations right now. Compared to big-budget blockbusters It and The Dark Tower, Gerald's Game might be easy to overlook -- especially as a Netflix production that never even saw the inside of a theater. Still, it's one of the best of the bunch, eschewing set-piece action and CGI scares in favor of more psychological horror. In the film, based on King's eponymous novel, middle-aged couple Gerald and Jessie Burlingame retreat to a remote Maine cabin to rekindle their relationship. When Gerald (Bruce Greenwood) handcuffs Jessie (Carla Gugino) to the bed and then dies of a heart attack, Jessie begins to hallucinate, unable to free herself from shackles both physical and otherwise. Gugino's performance is extraordinary, a career-defining turn loaded with emotion and genuinely unsettling realism. Rotten Tomatoes: 91% Genre: Drama, Horror Stars: Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood Director: Mike Flanagan Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 103 minutes Watch on Netflix First They Killed My Father (2017) 's Matt Zoller Seitz has reviewed countless movies, so when he calls First They Killed My Father "as fine a war movie as has ever been made," you know it's worth watching. Directed by Angelina Jolie, the film -- set in 1975 Cambodia -- follows 7-year-old Ung (Sreymoch Sareum), who is forced into service as a child soldier for the Khmer Rouge while the rest of her family are imprisoned or killed. Jolie's work behind the camera is sparkling, with serene, rose-tinted scenes of dreams or flashbacks in sharp contrast against the brutal reality that Ung suffers through. First They Killed My Father is a somber affair, one with more concern for the actions on screen than the greater political implications of the conflict. That reduced sense of scale helps to vivify Ung's story and effectively hone in on the emotions and (horrifying) events that shaped her experience. Rotten Tomatoes: 87% Genre: Drama Stars: Sreymoch Sareum, Phoeung Kompheak, Sveng Socheata Director: Angelina Jolie Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 100 minutes Watch on Netflix The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (2017) If you browse Netflix often (and we're betting you do, because who doesn't?), you've no doubt found yourself confronted by several new Adam Sandler projects like The Ridiculous Six or Sandy Wexler, which are classic Sandler vehicles reliant on goofy, lowbrow humor. The Meyerowitz Stories is far different, an understated, thoughtful dramedy that explores the relationship between a retired artist (Dustin Hoffman) and his dysfunctional children (Sandler, Ben Stiller, Elizabeth Marvel). When unemployed, recently separated Danny (Sandler) moves back in with his dad, he must contend with his frustrating whims amidst increasingly strained family dynamics. Director Noah Baumbach (The Squid and The Whale) imbues the film with an almost Royal Tenenbaums-esque sense of surrealism but weighs it back down with the all-too-real stresses and issues its characters face. Rotten Tomatoes: 92% Genre: Drama, Comedy Stars: Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman Director: Noah Baumbach Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 100 minutes Watch on Netflix Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond (2017) You might at first feel skeptical about the idea of a Netflix documentary about a documentary, but trust us: Jim & Andy manages to be just as engrossing as Man on the Moon, and perhaps even more so. Like Andy Kaufman's manically method performances as Tony Clifton, Carrey relates his experience during the filming of Man on the Moon as one of complete and total immersion, which is shown to be true in the many hilarious (and often uncomfortable) backstage videos depicting Carrey in character as Kaufman or Clifton. Carrey's dedication was such that his portrayal of Kaufman became even more absurd and odd than Kaufman himself, and he was curiously far more combative than Kaufman, especially while interacting with wrestler Jerry "The King" Lawler. Director Chris Smith excellently cuts footage of Carrey's on-set antics against modern-day interviews, showing the great lengths to which Carrey went for the film. Rotten Tomatoes: 94% Genre: Documentary Stars: Jim Carrey, Andy Kaufman Director: Chris Smith Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 94 minutes Watch on Netflix Icarus (2017) Director Bryan Fogel (Jewtopia) set out to make a unique film about the world of cycling, then ended up with something completely different. To learn more about doping in sports, Fogel began taking cycling steroids and performance-enhancing drugs to improve his ability while trying to avoid discovery by sport officials. Then, Fogel's star interviewee -- Russian doctor Grigory Rodchenkov -- reveals his part in a program designed to hide Russian athletes' drug use from the Olympic committee and other governing bodies. Thereafter, Rodchenkov makes some bold claims about Russian leadership's involvement in the program, and even fears for his life after a colleague dies mysteriously. Icarus morphs seamlessly from a doping doc into a thriller, with Fogel sliding knowingly out of the spotlight to push Rodchenkov as the story's centerpiece. The whole film operates in morally gray areas, and Fogel smartly hides his hand there, avoiding any grand claims to the moral high (or low) ground. Rotten Tomatoes: 94% Genre: Documentary Stars: Bryan Fogel, Grigory Rodchenkov Director: Bryan Fogel Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 110 minutes Watch on Netflix I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore (2017) In I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore (snappy title, right?), Ruth (Melanie Lynskey) is having a rough go of things. She's had to deal with racist old people, insensitive drivers, and home invaders, and she's finally decided enough is enough. So, Ruth recruits her eccentric neighbor (Elijah Wood) and sets out to find the jerks who broke into her house for some good, old-fashioned revenge. The movie is a diverse mash-up of genres and film styles, veering from comedy to drama to thriller in the span of a few minutes, but thanks to Lynskey's impressively relatable performance and consistent presence throughout, it never becomes confusing or disjointed. When I Don't Feel at Home is at its darkest, it's also at its best, but it never gets too depressing to enjoy. Rotten Tomatoes: 89% Genre: Drama, Mystery & Suspense Stars: Elijah Wood, Melanie Lynskey Director: Macon Blair Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 96 minutes Watch on Netflix The Battered Bastards of Baseball (2014) One of the first feature-length films released as a Netflix original, The Battered Bastards of Baseball tells the story of the Portland Mavericks, a unique minor-league baseball team that played independently -- that is, not affiliated with any major league franchise -- during the 1970s. Bing Russell (father of Kurt and a huge baseball fan) bought the team in 1973 for pennies on the dollar, and proceeded to hold open tryouts, hiring Kurt on as both VP and designated hitter. Somehow, the ragtag team managed to stay competitive while leading a collective lifestyle reminiscent of Bull Durham, led in part by ex-Yankee Jim Bouton, whose 1970 tell-all book Ball Four laid bare many dugout tales and engineered his exile from the major leagues. A combination of interviews, archival footage, and training films produced by the Russells help to make this one of the most entertaining and unique sports documentaries you'll ever see. Rotten Tomatoes: 100% Genre: Documentary Stars: Maclain Way, Chapman Way Director: Chris Smith Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 80 minutes Watch on Netflix Okja (2017) Kid-focused pet movies are a dime a dozen, but Okja offers a little more in the way of grown-up themes; in fact, we wouldn't recommend it for small children at all. In the face of overpopulation and dwindling resource pools, the Mirando corporation -- led by neurotic CEO Lucy Mirando (Tilda Swinton) -- develops a "super pig," sending these huge hippo-like creatures to farmers across the world for a ten-year maturation process, at the end of which a Best Pig will be named. One of these pigs, Okja, is sent to the South Korean countryside, where young Mija (the excellent Ahn Seo-hyun) has grown up alongside it. When the ten years are up, Mirando arrives to collect Okja, and Mija takes off with the animal. On the way to New York, Mija encounters a varied, colorful cast of characters including a crazy Steve Irwin-type (Jake Gyllenhaal) and some odd animal rights activists (Paul Dano, Steven Yeung). The film is at times both horrifying and heartwarming, underscoring the serious chops of director Bong Joon-ho (The Host). Rotten Tomatoes: 87% Genre: Drama, Action & Adventure, Science Fiction & Fantasy Stars: An Seo Hyun, Tilda Swinton, Paul Dano Director: Bong Joon-ho Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 118 minutes Watch on Netflix What Happened, Miss Simone? (2015) Nina Simone was one of the most iconic voices of the 20th century. Her awe-inspiring vocals blended to fit a host of genres-- from the blues to R&B to pop. Veteran biopic documentarian Liz Garbus (Love, Marilyn, Bobby Fischer Against The World) created this documentary. Garbus dug deep into her experience with film production and collected a breathtaking collection of interview recordings, diary excerpts, performance footage, and much more to reflect a stunning and real image of Simone. Simone's extensive contributions to the arts and the fight for racial equality are represented in the film. The movie shadows Simone's life, starting with her upbringing in North Carolina. Viewers see her early, and unsparing talents were often brushed under the rug and diminished because of her gender and skin color. Instead of turning to modern musicians to speak on Simone's legacy-- which is vast and likely would've drawn quite a large viewership-- Garbus sticks to her guns and focuses Simone at the center of her own story. Nina has the chance to show us who she is. This documentary is worth the watch, even if you don't know Nina Simone. Rotten Tomatoes: 89% Genre: Documentary Stars: Nina Simone Director: Liz Garbus Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 102 minutes Watch on Netflix Virunga (2014) Virunga is a documentary that grips you from the beginning and holds you captive until the final moments. The story is about a group of people who are risking their lives to protect and build a hopeful future for an area of Africa that has been long overlooked. The filmmakers, and executive producer Leonardo Dicaprio, explore the depths of the Virunga National Park in the eastern Congo throughout the film. The forested park is home to the last mountain gorillas left in the world. It's also home to a team of people who are giving everything to protect the land from poachers, armed militia, and people willing to sacrifice the land for their own personal gain. When rebel group M23 declares war, everyone (including the filmmakers) gets caught at the center of an explosive story. Virunga is an incredible, unflinching, and honest look at the brave individuals who are risking everything to protect this National Park, and doubles as an in-depth look at the realities of life in the Congo. Rotten Tomatoes: 100% Genre: Documentary Director: Orlando Von Einsiedel Rating: TV-MA Runtime: 90 minutes Watch on Netflix Related Topics: Netflix | Hulu | Amazon Prime | More Streaming Services Editors' Recommendations
