Thanks to some surprise additions at the end of last year, January 2025 offers what might be the best movie lineup ever on Netflix. Here are your ten best options.

One movie that should be on the top of everyone’s most anticipated list for 2025 is Guillermo del Toro’s ambitious new live-action project for Netflix following Cabinet of Curiosities and Pinocchio, a new take on Mary Shelley’s beloved novel based on the well-known story of Frankenstein and his monster.

After a (relatively) slow start to the year, it’s set to be a big week for new movies across the best streaming services. The next few weeks will see new flicks debut on Netflix, Prime Video, Max and Hulu and there’s also a selection of newcomers to premium streaming.

Our list of three action movies on Netflix that you need to watch in January includes a Mad Max entry, a stylish crime caper, and a buddy cop comedy.

The best new movies streaming on Netflix in January 2025 include some Christopher Nolan classics and a Cameron Diaz comeback vehicle.
