We have the top 5 recommendations for you which will blow your mind! So what are you waiting for? Get your snacks ready and head towards your couch to enjoy your weekend at home.
1. Oxygen
In less than 100 minutes, Oxygen, a fast-paced thriller, will surely take you to the edge of your seat. The soul of this Netflix movie is Melanie Laurent (seen before in Now You See Me and Inglorious Bastards), and her performance is phenomenal.
This film takes us to a cryptogenic pod where a woman wakes up and finds herself stuck in it. Oxygen is sometimes claustrophobic and uneasy. However, the gripping storytelling will leave you amazed.
2. Showpiercer
It is a layered, post-apocalyptic film on revolution against classism. Showpiercer is an extremely well-thought movie that stars Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Olivia Spencer and John Hurt and many talented actors.
Although this movie deals with a serious issue like class division, it is thoroughly enjoyable as Academy Winning film Parasite.
3. Arcane: League of Legends
Where video game adaptations often fail, Arcane: League of Legends is actually its opposite, as it is very much worthy of your time. This animated series on Netflix is based on the popular League of Legends. However, you need not have prior knowledge about it to get immersed in this show.
The story of the series follows a teenage girl living in Zaun, an underground city. On her way to the surface with her friends, she burgled into an affluent academic’s house and caused a massive explosion due to the mishandling of an experiment. It leads to enforcement on their trail.
Overall, Arcane is a compelling story with some strong characters. Its beautiful art style blends 2D and 3D animation to create magic on the screen.
4. Ethos
Set in bustling Istanbul, this thriller drama deals with different female characters crossing paths. Before anything, we must appreciate the superb cinematography, which makes every frame dead-drop-gorgeous.
All of its episodes are in sync with the crisp dialogues. The first episode starts with a woman who shares her life story in the first session with a psychologist. The story then unveils that the psychologist is seeing her clinician. Throughout the episode, she keeps sharing her feelings about seeing her patients.
5. Wild Wild Country
If you are looking for movies on Netflix of a different kind, Wild Wild Country can be a great pick. It portrays the relocation of a hippie from India to Oregon in 1981. The hippie cult, Rajneeshpuram, made Wasco Country, a ghost town with several god-fearing inhabitants, his home. His disciples across the country gathered here and soon got the media’s attention.
Starting from long-haired dropouts to debaucherous orgies and chanting and preaching, this series unveils one of the biggest immigration frauds in the US.
