In the 10 years since releasing its first original film, Beasts of No Nation, Netflix has evolved into a power player in the movie scene. It's earned honors at award shows, including the Oscars and Emmys, and this year, they received 13 Golden Globe nominations and won seven, with two of them going to for KPop Demon Hunters, which won Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song for "Golden."

Though the streaming giant's most critically acclaimed hits of 2025, including Train Dreams, Frankenstein and Jay Kelly, didn't pick up any Golden Globes, a few films that have won major awards are also available to stream, including Roma, Emilia Perez and Oscar-winner Parasite – but hurry, the last day to watch that film on the steamer is Jan. 31. Here are a few films we love that are currently available.

Netflix KPop Demon Hunters (2025) The Netflix original animated film KPop Demon Hunters premiered in June and quickly rose through the ranks to become the platform's most-watched original film of all time. The film, about a KPop group that performs by day and hunts demons in their downtime, has a soundtrack that's already been certified Platinum thanks to hits like "Golden" and "Soda Pop." The film stars Arden Cho, May Hong and Ji Young Yoo as the titular girl group tasked with fighting off a demonic boy band. (Can't get enough of the movie?

Netflix Jay Kelly (2025) George Clooney and Adam Sandler received Golden Globe nominations for their performances in Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly, which arrived on Netflix this December. Clooney stars as the title character, a movie star grappling with his age, career and relationships during a trip to Europe.

Netflix Frankenstein (2025) Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein received five Golden Globe nominations this year, including for Best Motion Picture -- Drama, Best Actor in a Drama (Oscar Isaac), Best Supporting Actor (Jacob Elordi) and Best Director. The film, a reimagining of the Mary Shelley classic, is pure del Toro, filled with the dark, fantastical style the director is known for.

Neon Parasite (2019) Director Bong Joon-ho's dark, psychological thriller Parasite won the Oscar for best picture in 2019 (along with the awards for best director, best original screenplay and best international feature). The film, about a poor family who infiltrates the home and lives of a wealthy family, was recently named the best film of the 21st century in a New York Times poll of filmmakers and actors, and you'll want to catch it soon, it's leaving Netflix Feb. 1.

A24 Priscilla (2023) Sofia Coppola directed the 2023 biopic Priscilla, which is about the life of a young Priscilla Presley who was just a teen when she met her future husband, Elvis Presley. Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi portray the volatile couple in this Golden Globe-nominated film. If you're a fan of their performances, they also appear in two other Netflix originals on our list -- Spaeny co-stars in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, and Elordi plays the creature in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.
