Extraction is good. Overly serious though. I dislike movies that can't take a little bit of levity at the tropes in them.
Netflix Releases All-Time Top 10 Original Movie List, Extraction at #1
- Thread starter Kinthey
- Start date
I've only seen the irishman out of those, and except for Pacino who was fantastic, I thought it was pretty mediocre. That scene where DeNiro beats up a guy on the street was so bad I couldn't believe Martin Scorsese okayed that.
Didn't expect to see it, but I can get behind Neflix making more films like The Night Comes for Us.
Huh, haven't actually watched a single one of those.
I did mean to watch Extraction, but forgot about it, haha.

The only one I have watched in its entirety was The irishman. Out of the rest
I only watched about 20 minutes of Bird Box- terrible and none of the others.
I like Netflix but the originals are so unremittingly awful outside of gems like Glow, Mindhunter, Kiimy Schmidt and Stranger Things.
I guess everything else is aimed at kids. noticed how the stuff Is mostly period stuff.

Platform was awesome. I'm looking at the rest of those movie and they don't sound very good (going by RT). I did enjoy Bird Box though. It wasn't a masterpiece but it was entertaining.
I have nothing to do so I'm gonna fire Perfect Date =p
EDIT: Irishman was so unnecessarily long.

I mean.. Sure there is a lot of mediocre to bad, but they have to keep people coming back for new content and it's very apparent that now every year theyll be putting all that money behind backing actual "prestige" level films. There's room enough for all types of films
I don't like Scorsese or mafia/mob/whatever movies. I used to see everything -- even if I wasn't interested -- so I could be part of the conversation or whatever. Now I just don't care about that stuff. I see things I'm interested in and that's about it.
Watched all of the top 5. Bird Box out of peer pressure to understand the memes. The others because of the lead actor(s) and the movie looking decent.
Solid movies but nothing special.

Yeesh
While it didn't make the top 10, I think I'm happier not finding out how low Beasts of No Nation ranked. Truly the best thing that Netflix has bankrolled. It's a shame the backwards ass Academy was still snubbing streaming features back then.

Netflix has some good movies but you wouldn't guess from that list. Would imagine the recent releases have got a huge boost though
Yeah, I liked it. It was basically a Ghost Recon: Wildlands movie
Y'all who liked Marriage Story and Uncut Gems should watch Meyerowitz Stories cause it's that first movie's director giving you the other good Sandler performance on Netflix.
Surprised to see The Platform on this list.
I have not yet met a single other person who has seen it irl.

Huh how did The Platform become that popular? I watched it but figured it was kinda niche. I liked it and The Irishman, the rest of that list though....
It had some of the wildest action sequences around. But yea, in the end it was merely decent.
Also (unrelated) Birdbox was excellent. I fired it up on my iPad meaning to kind of watch it in the background while I worked, ended up not getting any work done during that time.
The list is also missing Dan Gilroy's "Velvet Buzzsaw" - fun, campy horror schlock that I often forget I saw and enjoyed.
Edit: I'll admit to never finishing The Irishman. Got about 40 mins into it and realized I was forcing myself to watch it. Not an awful film, just didn't ever engross me the way Roma, Meyerowitz Stories, or Okja did.

I enjoyed Extraction
Spenser confidential was watchable
6 underground is one of the worst movies I have ever seen

Yo! The Platform made top 10?! Awesome!
It was a very fun little movie (very graphic tho)
I likened it to one of those Oats Studios shorts, but with a larger budget and full run time.

come on that's a 20 sec scene. That's like saying The Godfather is mediocre because of the Sonny beat-up scene.
I've only seen Extraction, watched it twice actually. Thought it was fantastic. Been meaning to see Spenser since it has Winston Duke and cuz posters were everywhere for it when it was first out.
*oh wait, I saw Bird Box too during the whole craze. It was alright I'd say lol.

Spencer was so average but also one that has mass appeal.
Furie not being on the list is a shame. More need to watch that, it's great!

It definitely got that lockdown stimulus.
Wouldn't surprise me if The Tiger King was the most watched Netflix season either.
Good thing I didn't say the film was mediocre because of that.
they've worked/are working with JC Chandor, Cary Fukunaga , Bong joon ho, Fernando Meirelles , Noah Baumbach, David Michod, Paul Greengrass, Dan Gilroy, David Fincher, Aaron Sorkin,Steven Soderberg, Gareth Evans, Mike Flanagan, Spike Lee, Alfonso Cuarón
I'd say that's an impressively talented ensemble, and by all accounts Netflix gives everyone total creative freedom.
they're a "network" and produce good stuff, middling stuff and garbage
for every irishman and uncut gems you get a god awful adam sandler comedy and some decent indie-ish film nobody talks about
