Top 5 Must-Watch Underrated Movies on Netflix

These are a must-watch list of movies! Luckily, Netflix currently has them all available for watching. We're concentrating on lesser-known films from all genres and from all over the world that need greater attention for this list of the greatest, most underappreciated Netflix films. These are films that push the boundaries of what is typically expected of cinematic narratives, inspire, enchant, and engage us, and make us try new things.

Although several of these films received high praise from critics when they were first released, their audiences haven't been as large as we believe they should be. We've included both Netflix originals and big-screen movies in this 2025 roundup.

Best Movies on Netflix:

5. Blackhat (2015):

Chris Hemsworth plays Nicholas Hathaway, who is freed from prison to assist in catching a cybercriminal who targets nuclear power facilities in this movie, which has gained a cult following since its premiere. 

4. Do Revenge (2022):

Do Revenge is a wonderful high school comedy about two kids who want to exact revenge on some rude, uppity females who have betrayed them. They are portrayed by Maya Hawke from Stranger Things and Camila Mendes from Riverdale. But it's all fun and games until the two start to wonder if they've overreached themselves and whether they can truly trust each other.

3. Kubo and the Two Strings (2016):

To vanquish his evil grandfather, the Moon King (Ralph Fiennes), and his mother's evil twin sisters, young Kubo (Art Parkinson) must locate his deceased father's enchanted armour in this spirit-filled animated film.

2. Cam (2018):

CAM is a clever and tense techno-thriller that is much more than the sum of its obscene elements. Madeline Brewer's performance in the lead role is superb.

1. Gerald's Game (2017):

In a performance that defines her career, Carla Gugino carries the small-scale suspense of Gerald's Game. During a kinky game, a lady unintentionally kills her husband. With no chance of escape, she is handcuffed to her bed and starts to see odd sights and hear voices.
