Netflix is kicking 2025 off in decidedly low-key fashion. By its standards, the streamer's lineup of film originals in January is surprisingly slight. There are still a few Netflix-exclusive movies worth recommending this month,

The best movies on Netflix include Scream 6, Saturday Night, Back in Action, Hereditary, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, In the Heart of the Sea, and more.

There are eight episode s of The Recruit season 2 and they'll all stream on Netflix from Thursday, January 30. Netflix has brought back its 2022 comedy-drama series Mo for a second and final season this week.

This month’s selection of movies includes an underseen rock opera, one of the best movies of the 2000s, a paranoid thriller about American misdeeds abroad, and a nice pre-Oscars catch-up on one of Timothée Chalamet’s best performances.

Fast Five is when the franchise took a left turn and never looked back, leaving the quaint street racing drama behind for reality-bending action thrillers. It’s also the second highest-rated Fast & Furious movie, behind only Furious 7, Paul Walker’s final film role.
