The weekend may feel too far away, but if you're lacking formal plans, a Netflix marathon session is always a good idea. If you're an avid viewer, however, you probably feel like you've seen everything the streaming platform has to offer already. In that case, below are some of the most slept-on movies that should totally be on your Netflix watch list.
The list ranges from little-known indie films to those blockbusters that weren't exactly the biggest of hits in the box office — all with themes that will hopefully inspire you to live out your wildest dreams after watching. And though most of the titles may have never crossed your path until now, all of these performances, and by some of Hollywood's most talented stars, are bound leave a lasting impression on your memory bank.
Speaking of Hollywood royalty, actors such as Shia LaBeouf, Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Naomi Watts, and even Kid Cudi make appearances throughout the list of films. And seriously, with all of those names in the credits, it's a wonder why a lot of these movies didn't get the love from fans they truly deserved. It goes to show that a billion-dollar box-office win doesn't necessarily translate to being the most culturally relevant film. Because, after feasting your eyes on this smorgasbord of hype-lacking romance, action, and drama projects, you'll definitely feel motivated to take on any obstacle in your way.
