Throughout, you've got a good story, with the Mitchells trying to reconnect for one last time before daughter Katie goes off to film school.

Stars: Maike Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, Daniel Zovatto, Olivia Luccardiįor more of our favorite scary movies, check out our guide to the best horror movies on Netflix so you can keep the screams going. The dreamlike tone gives the movie the feel of a waking nightmare. Mitchell builds a sense of unending dread, making the viewer constantly aware of a threat that could arise at any time. Maika Monroe stars as a young woman who receives the curse from a man she thinks is her boyfriend, leaving her to be stalked by a dangerous entity that can look like anyone. That’s what happens to the characters in writer-director David Robert Mitchell’s eerie film about a curse that can only be lifted by passing it along to someone else via sexual contact. Someone walking steadily toward you at a leisurely pace doesn’t sound all that scary, but when that person could come from any direction and will never stop until they reach you and kill you, the prospect is a lot more alarming.

Four immortal warriors, led by the ancient and badass Andy (Charlize Theron), have been helping humanity for centuries.

Stars: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore, Amy Brenneman, Ashley Judd Especially for its classic diner conversation scene. Still quite influential, as Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight pays homage, Heat is a requisite for most film lovers. Yes, this movie is long, but every minute matters. Meanwhile, LAPD's Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) is obsessed with stopping Neil's guys, possibly as a way to stop thinking about his drama at home. Neil (Robert De Niro) is a high-stakes thief who steals from armed vehicles and banks, and he lives a solitary life that allows him to go and do as he pleases.

Michael Mann's film tracks a pack of criminals and the cops who are hot on their tails.

One of the absolute best movies ever, and still on Netflix (we keep expecting it to leave), Heat showed up on the streaming service out of nowhere. (Image credit: RGR Collection / Alamy Stock Photo)
