Netflix is back with a vengeance in 2025 — these are the movies I'm most excited about

Promotional still from Happy Gilmore 2 showing Adam Sandler swinging a club on a golf course in front of a crowd.

I won't mince words — for the last few years, Netflix has been one of my least favorite streaming services, offering a 'quantity over quality' approach to content that has resulted in some truly lame movies which leave no lasting impression whatsoever.

You know the kinds of films I'm talking about — they often star the likes of Kevin Hart, Mark Wahlberg, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, and feel designed to simply pass the time rather than evoke any sort of emotional response. I would argue that most of Netflix's output can best be described as in-flight entertainment that you just happen to watch in your living room.
