There are a plethora of streaming media at our disposal, but not all of them live up to our standards. That’s why we frequently consult Netflix’s “Top 5 Movies,” a ranking based on the streaming service’s users’ preferences.
It has some of the most recent hits (like The Mother) and other old standbys (like The Croods). What’s even better? Netflix often refreshes its list of recommended films, so you may find something new to watch every day.
Keep scrolling to see what other users of the streaming service think you should watch right now.
