description: Some of the best movies on Netflix right now include The Lesson, Priscilla and Jaws. Updated weekly.
encoded: A new year is upon us, and as ever we can expect Netflix to bring us plenty more major original movies throughout 2026. Of course, Peaky Blinders film The Immortal Man – which released it's first trailer on Christmas Eve – is expected to be an early highlight, while later in the year we'll have Greta Gerwig's Narnia film and David Fincher's intriguing continuation of Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to look forward to, among many others. But until then, we have the streamer's ever-expanding library to keep us entertained – with everything from Silence of the Lambs and Catch Me If You Can to Vera Drake and Inside Llewyn Davis currently available to stream on the platform. And of course, there's also all the originals released by Netflix last year, including Knives Out mystery Wake Up Dead Man, plus A House of Dynamite, Frankenstein and Jay Kelly – all of which are still hoping they might have a shot at some awards nominations in the coming weeks and months. Read on for our latest picks of the best films on the streaming service right now – updated weekly – or head over to our guides to the best series on Netflix and best comedies on Netflix. Alternatively, check out our helpful list of Netflix secret codes, which can help you unlock hidden movies and TV shows. Updated: 2nd January 2026 Best movies to watch on Netflix right now Silence of the Lambs (1991) One of the most acclaimed and influential horror – or at least horror adjacent – films of all time, Jonathan Demme's spectacular adaptation of Thomas Harris's novel remains truly iconic more than 30 years on from its release. The story will likely need no introduction to most film fans: Jodie Foster's Clarice Starling is a young FBI agent who is tasked with assisting in the hunt for serial killer Buffalo Bill and looks to incarcerated, sociopathic cannibal Dr Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) for advice, leading to some pretty chilling scenes as the two probe each other with some fascinating mind gam…

description: With October now under way, we're counting down the days to a spooktacular Halloween.
encoded: October might have only just begun, but the Halloween-obsessed among us are already getting into the spirit of spooky season as we look with anticipation towards the end of the month. Of course, that can mean all sorts of things – from decking out your living space with pumpkin-themed decor to sorting out your ideal fancy dress costume – but when it comes to embracing the season, there are few things better than binging all sorts of horror films. 2025 has been a pretty banner year when it comes to new entries in the genre – with the likes of Sinners, Weapons, 28 Years Later and Final Destination: Bloodlines all causing a splash in cinemas – but sometimes nothing beats curling up to a familiar old favourite in the comfort of your own home. With that in mind we've compiled a list of horror classics – from films that are over 100 years old such as Nosferatu to modern masterpieces like Longlegs – meaning there are all sorts of possibilities for your Halloween movie night, plenty of which are streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, and various other platforms. Whether you prefer slashers, psychological chillers, or perhaps even folk horror, there's something for you on the list – so read on to find the perfect film for you. Best Halloween movies to watch right now Longlegs (2024) Undoubtedly one of the most terrifying films of last year – and hailed by some critics as the scariest of the decade – it would be criminal for Longlegs not to be added to this list. Led by the incomparable Maika Monroe, one of the best scream queens of our generation, as the clairvoyant Detective Lee Harker, the story is simple but masterfully effective: Harker is investigating an occult serial killer known as Longlegs, only to discover that her connection to him runs far deeper than she had imagined. With Nicolas Cage adorned in so many prosthetics to play the frightfully uncanny Longlegs that Monroe’s heartrate reportedly increased at the mere sight of him, the film is chilling…

description: We've picked out some gems on Netflix for those spending the night in.
encoded: Valentine's Day is just around the corner – and if you're on the lookout for a romantic film to watch to mark the occasion, then you could do a lot worse than checking out Netflix's extensive library. Below you can find our picks for some of the best romance films currently available on Netflix, so whether you want a serious drama or prefer a more light-hearted comedic love story, there should be something to suit your mood. Check out the list below for what we think are the best romantic movies that you can watch on the streamer right now. The best romance movies on Netflix Pretty Woman (1990) The film that established Julia Roberts as the queen of the romcom in the '90s – before her roles in the likes of My Best Friend's Wedding and Notting Hill – sees her star opposite Richard Gere as a sex worker who is hired by a millionaire, only for the pair to fall in love against the odds. Roberts and Gere share great chemistry, and although certain aspects of the film have perhaps aged badly, it remains very much a romcom staple. Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) Set in late 18th century France, Celine Sciamma's widely acclaimed film follows the romance that develops between a reluctant bride-to-be and the artist hired to paint her portrait. Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel are luminous in the lead roles, and the whole film is superbly put together – with certain scenes sure to linger long in the memory, none more so than the heartbreaking final shot. Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) The first of three big-screen collaborations between Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, this joyous romcom deserves to be seen as a modern classic of the genre. Gosling plays Jacob Palmer, a young man who encourages his recently divorced new friend Cal (Steve Carell) to pick up women at their local bar, only for things to turn complicated when Jacob embarks on a romantic relationship of his own... The film's star-studded cast also includes memorable role for Kevin Bacon, Julianne Moore and Marisa Tomei. An…

Some of the best Christmas TV is airing before the big day this year, with Bradley and Barney Walsh: Breaking Dad at Christmas seeing the pair head to Iceland for a seasonal special, while there's also the chance to catch the original Home Alone on TV. It's also a great day for caroling with the annual Carols from King's returning with a congregation this time, while the Duchess of Cambridge will be honouring some very special people in the one-off Royal Carols: Together at Christmas. Here are some of the best picks for what to watch this Christmas Eve while you wait for the big man to arrive on his sleigh. Frozen - 1:30pm, BBC One Eight years on from its record-breaking release, Frozen remains just as popular as ever - and Let It Go remains just as toe-tappingly catchy. Disney and Christmas is always a winning combination, and few of the House of Mouse's films are quite as festive as this snow-themed offering, and makes for delightful viewing whether this is your first or fifteenth viewing. The plot, if you somehow don't know by now, follows Princess Anna as she sets out on a journey to find her estranged sister who has trapped their kingdom in an en endless winter - cue powerful songs, an adorable snowman sidekick and a storyline that turns several Disney conventions on their head. Shaun the Sheep: the Flight before Christmas - 6pm, BBC One The long-running Wallace and Gromit spin-off continues with a primetime Christmas special, following Shaun's hunt for little cousin Timmy after he goes missing at the market.

Walters plays Granny – a spirited 98-year-old – and discusses with Garvey how she has been playing “ancient people” since she was in her 20s and how she manipulated her vocal cords to sound older.

encoded: When you've had a rough day, week or even just the whole year, sometimes all you want to do is stick on some comfort TV or a feel-good film and just transport yourself to a fictional world where nothing matters. Thankfully, Netflix is primed with heart-warming TV hugs and we've picked out some of the best for our list below, which is updated with two entries every week, so you can stop the endless scrolling and begin streaming immediately. From classic sitcoms like Friends and Gilmore Girls, to family films like Mamma Mia! and Instant Family, here are the best feel-good flicks and TV that Netflix has to offer. Clueless A classic cult romcom that's inspired countless chequered outfits for '90s-themed parties, Clueless is one of the funniest, and arguably the most fabulous, take on Jane Austen's Emma in movie history. A satirical look at Beverly Hills teen life, this coming-of-age comedy stars Alicia Silverstone as Cher, a popular, wealthy high school student who thinks she's an excellent matchmaker and decides to befriend new girl Tai (Brittany Murphy), make her over and set her up with her classmate Elton (Jeremy Sisto) despite the disapproval of her former step-brother Josh (Paul Rudd). Full of romance, make-over montages and quotable catchphrases ("As if!"), Clueless is a feel-good flick that's just as timeless as Paul Rudd. Watch Clueless on Netflix Brooklyn Nine-Nine If you're in need of a good chuckle, police sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine should be your first port of call. From the writers of The Office, Parks and Recreation and The Good Place, this police comedy stars Andy Samberg as the immature yet high-achieving detective Jake Peralta, whose station – New York City's 99th Precinct – gets a shake-up with the arrival of Captain Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher), the serious, robotic commanding officer taking charge of the team. Fast-paced, silly and stuff with witty jokes, you'll visit Brookly Nine-Nine for the comedy, but stay for the endearingly close friendships b…

encoded: For the second year in a row, we're spending Easter in lockdown, and although restrictions have eased somewhat in England, we're still spending more time indoors than might usually be the case. With that in mind, you might be looking for ways to keep the kids occupied over Easter weekend. Luckily there's a wealth of family films that are readily available to stream, many of which are relevant to Easter. So whether you fancy some animated fun with Wallace and Gromit, or a classic musical starring Judy Garland and Fred Astaire, you can check our list of all the best family movies to watch over Easter below. Many of the best Easter movies for the whole family are, of course, Disney films and you sign up to Disney Plus for just £79.90 a year for a full year’s subscription (or £7.99 a month). You will be able to enjoy various Pixar and Marvel films, and so much more. Watch some of last year’s best movies like Rocketman and Toy Story 4 on NOW TV (ad) Peter Rabbit Every good Easter film needs a rabbit, and few come more famous than Peter Rabbit himself. This 2018 update of Beatrix Potter's classic tale sees James Corden voice the titular bunny (now computer-generated) as he battles Domhnall Gleeson's Mr. McGregor for his vegetable garden. A sequel was originally due out this Easter, but has since been delayed. Watch Peter Rabbit on Amazon Prime Video Read our full Peter Rabbit review Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit For rabbits of the bigger variety, you can't do much better than Aardman's only feature-length film in the popular claymation series. Featuring a cast befitting a big-budget adaptation (including Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter) but losing none of the charm of the original shorts, this comedy will have the whole family laughing. Adults will love the clever references too, as the film parodies everything from King Kong to Top Gun.

encoded: We're reaching the end of 2020, a year in which all film and TV fans have been thanking our lucky stars for Netflix. The streaming platform has done a lot to make this strange year more bearable, with a vast array of new content regularly added to its extensive library, and there's one with one last batch of new films and TV shows on the way in December to round off the year in style. We've already seen a lot of festive content added to the streamer in November, and there's more where that came from as we move into advent, with all sorts of specials arriving during the month. And away from Christmas it's a bumper month for new films – with one or two new releases which could well be awards contenders when next year's delayed Oscars roll round. The highlights are Mank - David Fincher's long-awaited new film about the creation of Orson Welles' iconic Golden Age film Citizen Kane, and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, the final performance from the late Chadwick Boseman, whose tragic passing in August came as a devastating shock. There's also the small matter of a new sci-fi blockbuster directed by George Clooney, The Midnight Sky, and yet another new project from the ever prolific Ryan Murphy, this time a film musical titled The Prom, adapted from the hit Broadway play of the same name. As far as TV is concerned, the biggest new show comes in the shape of Bridgerton, a new period drama produced by Shonda Rhimes, which is set in Regency-era England and based on a series of romance novels by Julia Quinn – it looks like Netflix could have another period show to match The Crown's success. Read on for our pick of the December list – and if you’re after November’s Netflix releases, we have that covered, too.

Of course, the horror genre is infamously inconsistent and for every exceptional offering there seems to be a dozen uninspired Hollywood projects or questionable indie flicks. Fortunately, RadioTimes.com has combed through Amazon Prime Video's library to find ten of the best spooky flicks on the platform, to ensure your Halloween gets off to a fittingly terrifying start. Read on for our spookiest picks. The Cabin in the Woods (2012) Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) and Joss Whedon (The Avengers) put their sharp wit and boundless horror knowledge to masterful use for this unique take on a slasher movie. Five young friends decide to spend a weekend in a remote cabin, only to find themselves terrorised by forces beyond their understanding. That may sound like a cliché premise, but rest assured there is far more to The Cabin in the Woods than meets the eye. Serving as both a love letter to the genre and a creepy flick in its own right, it's a must watch for movie buffs with a killer cast including Chris Hemsworth and Kristen Connolly. Watch on Amazon Prime Video Read our full The Cabin in the Woods review. Midsommar (2019) Hereditary director Ari Aster returned to terrify multiplexes last summer with his sophomore feature Midsommar, which takes inspiration from cult classics like The Wicker Man. After experiencing a terrible family tragedy, Dani Ardor (Florence Pugh) accompanies her uncaring boyfriend and his college pals to a remote commune in Sweden to see their midsummer celebration. Cut off from society, the tension gradually builds as the festivities become increasingly disturbing in this slow-paced but rewarding offering. Pugh gives a phenomenal performance.

Last updated 2nd June 2020 Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (2019) Quentin Tarantino tends to be a "love him or loathe him" type of filmmaker, and his latest effort was no exception, proving predictably divisive when it was released in the summer of 2019. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as ageing actor Rick Dalton and Brad Pitt as his friend and stunt double Cliff Booth, the film chronicles one day in Hollywood in the February of 1969 and then, crucially, one evening six months later. Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood does a tremendous job of creating a fully realised period setting, and also stars an excellent performance from Margot Robbie as real life actress Sharon Tate - it's not for everyone, but if you love Tarantino, and you love Hollywood - then this is sure to go down a treat.
