In addition to producing and distributing original content, Netflix is also home of multiple hit movies you didn't know it was streaming.

By its standards, the streamer's lineup of film originals in January is surprisingly slight.

February is just around the corner, and with it comes the opportunity to ring in Valentine’s Day by snuggling up with your beloved in front of the TV (or your laptop; no judgment, cord-cutters) and watch a borderline-irresponsible amount of Netflix.

Netflix is gearing up for a 2025 packed with diverse releases, featuring the return of popular series, new movies, and local Mexican content.
