Thrillers, thanks to directors like David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, and Alfred Hitchcock, are known for their strong stories and captivating mysteries. These films often challenge viewers to figure out a crime before the characters do, which has made them some of the most well-crafted in Hollywood. Netflix boasts an impressive collection of thrillers, ranging from realistic crime dramas to suspenseful stories about assassins, and includes several truly essential movies.

Let’s be honest, we all have a Winona Ryder movie we adore, but there’s one that truly stands out as her best. What I admire most about Ryder is how she’s consistently broken Hollywood’s mold. So many talented actresses face an expiration date, but she’s managed to stay iconic – a genuine classic in a way very few performers ever do.

Science fiction often makes us think and stretch our imaginations, and the film Blade Runner is a perfect example. Even small details in the movie have sparked debate about its true meaning. Forty-three years after it first came out – and with a sequel now released – the biggest question the film poses still doesn’t have a definitive answer.

The classic comedy Animal House will be leaving Netflix on January 1st. It was added to the streaming service just six months ago, on July 1st. Directed by John Landis, the film follows the wild antics of the Delta Tau Chi fraternity at Faber College, who, led by the mischievous Bluto Blutarsky (played by John Belushi), constantly clash with their uptight dean.

TopMob recently interviewed the creator of High Potential before the midseason finale. Along with discussing the developing relationship between Morgan and Rhys, I asked about the strong fan interest in the character Roman and how the show planned to address it. The creator suggested that viewers will get significant answers about Roman as the season continues. He stated:

What sets Over the Garden Wall apart isn’t just its charming look or feeling of nostalgia, but its ability to tell a complete and satisfying story in just ten episodes. It quickly creates a rich, believable world with characters you won’t forget, and explores themes that stay with you long after you finish watching. For those who didn’t see it when it first aired, this show is still one of Cartoon Network’s best accomplishments.

Nielsen reports that an average of 27.5 million people watched the live stream of the Minnesota Vikings versus Detroit Lions game on Netflix, making it the most-watched NFL game ever streamed in the US. At its peak, over 30 million viewers tuned in, and Snoop Dogg’s halftime show averaged 29 million viewers.

Streaming services have helped K-dramas become incredibly popular, leading to innovations in how they’re made and the stories they tell. Many of the decade’s best K-dramas are now original series on platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and Apple TV+, making it simpler than ever for people to start watching.

Ken Russell’s The Devils tells the story of Father Urbain Grandier (Oliver Reed), a priest accused of witchcraft by the troubled nun Sister Jeanne des Anges (Vanessa Redgrave). The film is based on both a play by John Whiting and a non-fiction book by Aldous Huxley detailing the real-life events in Loudun, France. It’s a long-standing favorite of horror director Guillermo del Toro, who is still working to get a high-quality 4K version released, and it’s considered essential viewing for any dedicated horror fan.

While key plot developments and new characters are the most important parts of the second season of the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender, some other moments also stand out. Certain episodes build upon the show’s rich world and explore different cultures and ways of life, just like they did in the original animated series.
