Every Movie You Need To Stream This Month And The One Scene That Makes Each Of Them Worth It

Streaming libraries have reached the point where having access to everything means functionally watching nothing, because the decision paralysis arrives before the popcorn does. This list solves that. We picked eight films currently streaming, explained exactly why each one is worth your evening, and identified the one specific scene that justifies the entire runtime.

The French animated film currently on Netflix that everyone is sleeping on: the scene in the second act where the protagonist realizes her map has been upside down the entire journey. It's four minutes of wordless animation that somehow says more about grief than most films manage in two hours. The Korean thriller that dropped last week: the car scene. You'll know. It happens 38 minutes in and the theater (metaphorically) will never be the same.

We also want to specifically highlight the 1973 documentary streaming on MUBI right now that has a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes and fewer than 800 ratings because no one talks about it — a situation we intend to fix immediately. Watch it on a Friday night with good speakers and text us afterward. We will respond. Full list and streaming links below.
