Netflix is once again expanding its library in time for the holiday season. And, while it's always nice to sit back, relax, and enjoy something wholesome at this time of year, it's equally as satisfying to dive into something a little more wild.
Enter the crime movie genre. While the earliest crime movies go as far back as the early 1900s, their popularity has continued to skyrocket with each passing decade. Of course, Martin Scorsese's gangster movies have played a major role in this – most recently via Killers of the Flower Moon, aka one of 2023's best new movies – but more and more we've seen experimental twists on what it means to be a crime-centric flick. Best of all, lots of brilliant crime movies have now found a home on Netflix, arguably the world's best streaming service, ready for your viewing pleasure.
