11 best Netflix movies that are 90% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes

Let’s be frank, Netflix movies don’t have the best reputation. Rather than seal of quality, that little red “N” logo on a movie poster is often a warning to skip rather than stream. But that doesn’t mean the streamer never gets it right. In fact, there are plenty of Netflix movies that aren’t just good, but downright great — a few can even be classed as legit masterpieces. 

Here at Tom’s Guide, putting together a list of our favorite Netflix movies involves days of arguing as our staffers disagree on many picks. And while that’s a debate we relish, sometimes it’s good to look at the bigger picture. In this case, that means taking a look at the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes (opens in new tab), which offers a broad critical consensus to help us pick the Netflix movies that truly deserve top billing.
