Here is an ultimate list of Netflix movies curated by us:

1. Forrest Gump- The story of Forrest, a man with low IQ, recounts the early years of his life when he found himself in the middle of key historical events. All he wants now is to be reunited with his childhood sweetheart, Jenny.

   

   2. Underworld: Blood Wars- This film being a part of the top 10 movies on Netflix India list came as a bit of a surprise to us. But considering that our country loves all things supernatural, it kind of makes sense. It follows the life of a woman called Selene who wants to find a way to end the conflict between the Lycan clan and the Vampire faction. But in this process, her own life is on the line. You should watch this movie to know why people are watching it in the first place.

   

   3. Five Feet Apart- Five Feet Apart is both beautiful and hopeful, problematic and tragic—especially for younger viewers.
      The movie Five Feet Apart is really great to the extent that it will make tears roll on your cheeks for several times.
      The life’s lesson that this movie teaches is to live with ardent hope and faith. It is life’s reality that we all die, but we should not see it as an end for us not to do whatever we want to achieve in life.

      

      4. Yeh Jawaani hai Deewani- A must watch romantic genre movie is Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. It's a great treat for fun loving, cheerful youth to enjoy an unconditional friendship as well as love and also how they drive their life towards their dream.

         

         5. Pink- The film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu and Angad Bedi is a compelling film that forces you to think. A powerful script and backing performances lift this film into the must-watch category!
            The story clearly gives a social message to society. And the problems faced by every girl in the society. By the face of Amitabh Bachchan (a lawyer) director portrays a view that how women are illtreated and wrongly understood. He also explained how the parents of a boy should grow him. Dressing or living independently or being friendly with men cannot judge the character of a girl. Every girl has her own choice and others have no right to judge her or molest her.

            

            6. Andhadhun- Open to various interpretations and unpredictable from beginning to end, Andhadhun is an interesting thriller movie that keeps you on your toes throughout.

               

               7. To All the boys I’ve Loved before- Fans of teen romance will find much to like here, including an engaging performance by Lana Condor as Lara Jean and messages about self-confidence, honesty, and family unity. The story represents a teenage girl surrounded by fantasies who's scared to have real things. Jenny han wrote this story fantastically. The Main characters Lara jean covey and Peter kavinsky were absolutely fantastic. This story is so simple at the same time so real.

                  

                  8. Feel the Beat- The movie is predictable-but-sweet story of the value of self-worth, the need for selflessness and the beauty of family.
                     We've seen Sofia Carson in descendants before, and definitely does the job in the lead role.
                     And the acting overall is actually very good, the child actors as well, the dancing was quirky and fun. The story has lots of subtext and hidden messages, or some out in the open, throughout the film.

                     

                     9. Always be my Maybe- Netflix's politically correct romantic comedy has its own unique identity, savouring aspects of Asian-American culture and treating both protagonists as equal partners.

                        

                        10. The Irishman- It is a story of a truck driver Frank Sheeran gets involved with Russell Bufalino and his Pennsylvania crime family.

                                Qismat is a Punjabi movie which had all elements in complete balance:- comedy, love, emotion, music, attraction. Each and every minute of movie is worth watching and u can't leave it for a single minute because the movie story is so fantastically designed that it had attracted audience to screen all time

                                

                                13. Lagaan- The 2001 released movie was India's official entry to the Oscars.

Bhuvan has to beat the British masters in their own game or pay 3 times the taxes, which they pay every year.
