Netflix drops dozens of original movies each year, and so far in 2025, there’s been plenty of fresh flicks for subscribers to watch. However, the past 10 months have seen significantly more duds than winners from one of the best streaming services. The competition for a spot on this list isn’t exactly fierce. Still, of the 29 new Netflix movies released in 2025 (as of writing), there’s definitely a handful that I would consider worthy of your streaming watchlist.
I should also note that I’m excluding international movies to keep this roundup manageable (if you factor in non-English language movies, there are more than 100 options), but if you want some foreign recommendations, be sure to consider “Bullet Train Explosion,” “Manits” and “Caramelo.”
