Among the list is one of the best comedies of recent years.
Last week, we wrote about 20 big movies being added to Prime Video. Now we’re covering these 15 films that have landed on Netflix in Ireland.
Netflix movie additions
Adventureland
An acclaimed coming-of-age tale that stars Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart, alongside a supporting cast including Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig and Ryan Reynolds.
American Gangster
Denzel Washington is a gangster and Russell Crowe is the detective on his tail in director Ridley Scott’s very watchable crime drama based loosely on true events.
Dune
Set in the far distant future, a young man (Timothée Chalamet) and his family is thrust into a war for the deadly and inhospitable desert planet Arrakis. Required (re)watching before Dune: Part Two comes to cinemas in March.
Good Grief
Schitt’s Creek’s Daniel Levy writes, directs and stars in this Netflix original comedy drama as a man mourning the loss of his husband (Luke Evans), while his two best friends (one of whom is played by Irish Oscar nominee Ruth Negga) try to help him through his grief.
Lift
In this big budget Netflix original, an international heist crew – led by Cyrus Whitaker (Kevin Hart) – races to lift $500 million in gold from a passenger plane at 40,000 feet.
Maudie
Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke star in this very good biographical drama from Irish director Aisling Walsh (Song for a Raggy Boy) about the life of folk artist Maud Lewis.
Morbius
The third film in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, Morbius sees Oscar-winner Jared Leto play the titular character – a brilliant doctor whose efforts to cure his rare blood disease turn him into a vampire.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Quentin Tarantino’s most recent (and maybe best?) movie.
Red Rocket
One of the best comedies of recent years, Red Rocket follows Mikey ‘Saber’ Davies (Simon Rex, the Scary Movie franchise), a porn star who returns to his Texas city hometown having burnt all his bridges in Los Angeles.
