Between the official mission, a group of experts, and an elaborate plan, each heist film is full of thrills, one-liners, and a dramatic moment where everything almost falls apart. The official mission typically involves stealing a coveted item, robbing a bank, or stopping an event that is predicted to happen. Each team is made up of an ammunitions expert, a scientist or mathematician, a wild card, and the leader who is the one who assembles the team to carry out the elaborate plan. Once the team is assembled, the plan is detailed down to the most minute detail, typically with someone asking about security or scoffing at the estimated time to bypass something.

Over the years, however, the popular streamer has come a long way, even after cracking down on household account sharing. That includes war films, specifically ones that hit the masses 15+ years ago.

This shows that the appeal of crime shows didn't start recently and will not wane any time soon. As long as there is that intrigue of solving crime alongside compelling characters, viewers won't get tired of crime series.

This is thanks in part to its unwavering run of excellent true-crime content.

Some may not know that Netflix has existed in some form since the late-1990s. Of course, what’s now known as a streaming platform giant wasn’t a streaming service at all then. The company went through many different business models before it became what we all know it as today, including the influx of original programming.

These tales are thrilling escapes into realms of futuristic societies, technology akin to magic, and intergalactic adventures. Some of the most thrilling sci-fi concepts of the past are slowly turning into our current reality. These mind-bending ideas shape the present's escapism and the future of the next generation.

Even fans have welcomed such movies with open hands and have developed a sense of fascination with these twisted characters, who lack empathy and have no control over their actions, resulting in several brutal crimes. While some serial killers roots come from their past traumatic experiences or some kind of abuse, others might simply be the result of being exposed to a violent environment or genetic abnormalities, but not all these factors are always the case or to be blamed because some serial killers are hard to comprehend — they are just psychopaths.

American war films may focus on World War II or the Civil War from a Western angle, but a Japanese war film like Grave of the Fireflies focuses on the opposite side of World War II. Globally, war films offer contemporary perspectives on how war and cruelty are viewed, but they are a slippery slope when it comes to how the opposing side is seen.

As online video streaming exploded in popularity, Netflix was facing rising costs from studios, who demanded more money in their licensing deals to stream their content. In response, the streaming service announced plans to begin producing its own content, seeking to break its reliance on outside studios for films and television series. It didn't take long for original Netflix content to make an impact. In 2013, the celebrated House of Cards was the first original series to premiere on the service. In 2015, the very first Netflix Original Film, Beasts of No Nation, made its debut and marked the beginning of a major shift in strategy for content.

]]> Sat, 09 Sep 2023 14:19:00 GMT https://movieweb.com/best-netflix-movies-originals/ Netflix has come a long way since its days of mailing DVDs back and forth with millions of customers. Now, instead of getting home and checking the mailbox, people plop down on their couch, look at their remotes that have an actual Netflix button on them, and flip through thousands of different films and series. In the early days of the streaming service, the company was spread thin looking for the hottest movies and shows to acquire to get more people interested in the platform, but in 2012, things changed.

]]> Thu, 07 Sep 2023 20:31:25 GMT https://movieweb.com/netflix-tv-shows-that-are-complete/ Limited series, miniseries, x-part specials. The entertainment industry has a bunch of different names for projects that don’t get five or more seasons. While we all love to binge our comfort shows and jump around to our favorite season when this character was introduced, or this episode when that annoying character finally got the ax, at times, one season is just enough. Limited series are great for the sense of accomplishment of ticking another to-watch show or documentary off your list.

Now, in the 21st Century, the cinema is swarming with superhero films from both large studios and lesser-known ones. Despite the fact that the mainstream media is saturated and the growing presumption that people might tire of these narratives, superhero films continue to break the box office while cultivating large fan bases. A notable factor contributing to the popularity of this genre is that enduring bond many have formed for these comic book heroes.

What about the first time you moved away from home to go to college, or you got your first place and felt the air change with your new independence? Did you miss being with your family and the familiarity of everything inside your house?

]]> Sun, 03 Sep 2023 18:30:26 GMT https://movieweb.com/netflix-movies-to-watch-when-youre-homesick/ Many viewers have begun to take note of the number of shows on streaming platforms being canceled before reaching a satisfying conclusion, and no platform has been so notorious for this reputation other than Netflix. Despite Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos saying that the platform has never canceled a successful show, a lot of subscribers have pointed out otherwise. Inside Job, Archive 81, and Lockwood and Co., among other popular shows, have been cited by fans as series that Netflix canceled within their early series, regardless of their big following.

One standout series within Netflix's horde of zombie shows is Black Summer.

The coming-of-age comedy film has several members of Sandler’s family which is a nice surprise to his fans.

They take us to a time when the North American continent was still wild and free, and the only thing standing between you and the hangman’s noose was your wit and the trusty six-shooter at your hip. Cowboys and cattle rustlers, gunslingers, and bandits, the Wild West had every outlaw from here to Tijuana facing each other down at high noon.

Meant to replicate those fun choose-your-own-adventure books everyone read as a young child or teen, this technology literally gives you the chance to impact what you are watching. And companies have been trying for many years to make the media consumed by its viewers more interactive, but few have actually succeeded. While similar of these types of experiences started happening on the DVDs of our favorite films or discs of our favorite video games as "Easter Eggs," they are now being added to streaming shows.

It's undeniable that movies wield the power to evoke many emotions, and even movie buffs like trying out new genres for an enjoyable watch.

]]> Sun, 27 Aug 2023 18:00:27 GMT https://movieweb.com/feel-good-movies-on-netflix/ Netflix tends to knock it out of the park with their original action movies. The Russo Brothers' The Grey Man and the Extraction movie franchise are some of the best movies the streaming service has pumped out. Yet, no genre is better than Netflix's exceptional roster of martial arts movies from all over the world. So without further ado, here are the best Netflix original martial arts movies.

With the streamer's popularity, it is easy for viewers to talk about the latest offers on the service. Netflix has evolved from acquiring rights to have other movies stream on their service to creating their original content. Since they have gone into creating original content, Netflix has created movies that may stand the test of time. They have also created performances and content that have become Oscar-worthy. Netflix has moved on from just a streaming service to create their studio. Their main goal is to make viewers keep coming back to their site and put in those viewing hours. Since the world has evolved to a work-from-home atmosphere, people have more time than ever to sit at home and catch up on the movies everyone at the office keeps rambling about.

They feed you, play with you, and most importantly (and annoyingly) of all, they watch all the silly song-filled shows and films on repeat that eventually drive them crazy. Now that you are older, your tastes in television and movies has hopefully changed, and you are able to watch more mature and interesting things with your parents. Even with hectic schedules, demanding jobs, and having seemingly no free time, it is important to spend quality time with the people who raised you, and now that you are older, you can all do things that everyone enjoys.

]]> Fri, 25 Aug 2023 21:00:28 GMT https://movieweb.com/netflix-movies-watch-with-parents/ It is not surprising that making movies is going to cost a pretty penny. The film industry is a machine that invests a significant amount of money to help produce movies that are hopefully going to be a success. With more streaming services such as Hulu, HBO Max, and Netflix investing in creating original projects, it will not come as a shock that millions of dollars are put into them. Especially for a streaming platform as huge and incredibly successful as Netflix, the budget for creating Netflix originals is fitting.

Many animated works are much more intricate than they appear on the surface. Hidden in the visually artistic worlds of animations are complex themes, profound emotions, and messages that reflect our political, cultural and social problems — subjects that even live-action films may hesitate to explore.

One of these ratings is the R, or Restricted, which requires those under 17 to have an accompanying parent or adult guardian to view. The film in question contains adult material. While most people immediately think of horror films when talking about R-rated movies, not every R-rated movie is a blood-and-gore or supernatural horror film – although many certainly are.

Even before the world became obsessed with romantic Korean dramas or Japanese shows they would find on Netflix, Asian cinema and entertainment was always popular — just not on a mainstream level. In recent years, the drama world has opened up the floodgates for many different countries to release their content on streaming platforms. Netflix has even invested millions of dollars on their Korean entertainment, making them a solid place to go for dramas. But one of the most underrated forms of East Asian dramas are Chinese language dramas.

Despite how it might look from our vantage point, they have been around almost as long as television itself. One of the earliest iterations of the format was NBC's Kraft Television Theatre, which would broadcast a different televised play every episode. Other similar programs include Philco-Goodyear Television Playhouse, which was also on NBC, and Westinghouse Studio One on CBS. These shows featured the likes of James Dean and Grace Kelly before they found more high-profile fame.

In an era when social platforms like TikTok entice us to consume media in a very rapid manner, our brains are way more susceptible to binge series that don’t require that much of our free time. There’s an overwhelming number of new movies and TV shows coming out every month, hence why we’re more likely to choose a limited series to watch next, in order to keep up with everything. It's a smaller commitment.

The Norwegian fantasy series takes cues from Norse mythology and focuses on the small town of Edda, where climate change and manmade pollution have led to a series of deadly calamities. The only hope for humanity is Magne Seier, a teenager claiming to be the reincarnation of Thor, the God of Thunder.

The fact that a large number of movies now go straight to streaming rather than having a theatrical release is part of this shift. This differs from TV movies because many that go straight to streaming are high-profile, coming from directors that include Alfonso Cuarón and David Fincher. Additionally, the popularity of and acclaim for the miniseries format has drawn in directors who usually only work on feature length movies to the world of television. The result is that directors have been using TV shows to create long-form narratives with the feeling of a movie.

The streaming service reached the point where there are now hundreds of available titles to watch if K-drama is what you're looking for. Recently, Netflix has started producing its own original projects coming from Korea and putting their own flair on the country’s formula for their shows.

In East Asia, dramas from South Korea, Japan, and China have come to dominate the international market, adding to a lengthy selection of English-language content that tends to be available no matter one is.

Content is made in tandem with what's popular, or what could be popular, with mature audiences. The success of streaming services, in particular Netflix, is largely in part due to content aimed at adults.

Date nights spent at home and lazy Sundays with your significant other are great for movie marathons and binge-watching shows, but when it comes to a whole series, there are a few things to consider: attentions spans, interests, and time commitments. Can you and your partner keep up with an hour-long episode, or is less than 30 minutes more your speed? Do the two of you need a decent blend of comedy and drama, or are you more interested in the serious genres? Lastly, consider how long the two of you are willing to stick to a series because some shows have more than a few seasons.

While serial killer films may be sickening or disturbing, there is an undeniable allure in watching these deranged murderers systematically target their victims, even as they justify their actions with irrational reasons. It is not that viewers approve of their aberrant behaviors, but there is that certain intrigue that lies in observing these gruesome acts from the comfort of their own homes.

]]> Thu, 20 Jul 2023 21:30:22 GMT https://movieweb.com/netlifx-reality-competition-tv-shows/ Horror and slasher film fans have high standards for the level of fright delivered on screen. While other genres rely on the protagonist to move the story along, horror movies depend on the antagonist. The background of the antagonist isn’t necessarily important nor is how they torture or kill their victims. Instead, the look of the villain is what will spark fear in the audience. Additionally, how they are revealed for the first time is critical to the film’s trajectory, also known as the Jaws Rule. This most sacred rule refers to the classic horror film Jaws in which the shark’s presence is felt throughout the film, but is revealed moments before its ultimate demise. Other elements in a horror film can make or break it, though.

The suspenseful nature of mystery series is precisely what attracts many fans to this genre.

However, while the early years of original shows were extremely successful and well-received, with the likes of House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, Netflix has not always had the same luck with its movies.

The summer season is a nostalgic time for many adults when they think back to the simpler times of being out of school, getting their first job, and desperately waiting to be invited to those parties that bring everyone together. For teenagers, it's a time to relax and forget about the troubles that line the halls of their school.

People are naturally drawn to movies and series that have actually taken place in someone's life because it gives us a sense of inspiration or a warning for the horrors that are out there. Either way, the films leave fans in awe about what someone else has gone through in their lifetime.
