The 16 best movies on Binge in 2025

This odd couple comedy reminds me of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, if it were super gay, didn't take itself seriously, and pulled deadpan inspo from Wes Anderson flicks. Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) is a no-nonsense, pant suit in the club kinda gal, while Jamie (Margaret Qualley) is a let-loose, chaotic queen. The Type A and Type B dynamic play out across a road trip to Tallahassee, where the two (just) friends inadvertently become entangled in a unique criminal scheme thanks to a hire car.

While being chased (mostly without their knowledge), by two bumbling goons, Jamie and Marian are both running away from their own issues. Jamie has been sowing her wild oats behind her now ex girlfriend's back, while Marian's have been rotting away. Tensions are high as the two zig zag between lesbian bars, all the while unaware of the sensitive package they're transporting.

The film is spliced with psychedelic asides, creative and glorious scene transitions, and unexpected cameos. If you've got an hour and a half, and you're willing to turn your brain off, Drive-Away Dolls is worth the watch.

Think John Wick but fighting for the rights of the common man rather than for a dog. Monkey Man stars Dev Patel as an unknown, underground fighter who is routinely beaten for cash. With enough anger, and enough training, Kid as he is called, finds a way to get revenge on the city’s aristocracy. It all culminates in an intense, seemingly endless fight scene of gorgeously cinematic knuckle cracking.

Ani (Mikey Madison) is a sex worker in Brooklyn but everything changes when Vanya (Mark Eydelshteyn)  walks into the club. As the son of a Russian billionaire, Vanya shows Ani the good life and somewhere in between the parties, private jets, and expensive gifts, they fall in love. They tie the knot in Vegas but when Vanya’s parents threaten to cut off their marriage or his money, he runs. Along with the parents’ henchmen, Ani embarks on a wild chase through New York to find her rich husband and maybe save her marriage.

In Knives Out, Daniel Craig plays a deep-fried private detective from down South who's fixin' for answers when he's paid anonymously to investigate the murder of Harlan Thrombey, a celebrated mystery author with a huge estate and various family members who would love a piece of the fortune.

It's the sort of movie you think you've figured out in the first 20 minutes before being taken on a rollercoaster of twists, turns and spicy intrigue.

A washing up actor Rick Dalton spends his days drinking and hanging out with his stunt double come buddy, Cliff Booth. The two attempt to navigate a changing environment in Hollywood while still getting paid, getting drunk, and getting girls, but they mostly just end up lazing by the pool in Dalton’s enormous hillside house. Just next door live Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate, who have been targeted by members of the Manson Family. We all know how the story ends, but the way it plays out is the real kicker.

A coming of age story for the already aged. Jane navigates coming out in her 30s.

The first in the trilogy, X is a slasher with a difference. Maxine (Mia Goth) and her adult film crew visit the secluded farm of Pearl (also Mia Goth) and her husband. While the team try to keep their filming under wraps, the reclusive Pearl keeps her eyes on them, reminded of her own time in the spotlight.

As filming progresses Pearl draws ever closer to Maxine, and the crew. She pines for their debauchery and youth, but her inability to grasp it turns into something else.

In the final chapter of the trilogy MaXXXine, Maxine Minx takes a little bit of Pearl with her in her journey from adult film star, to hollywood starlet.

I Saw the TV Glow is equal parts psychological thriller and emotional gut punch. It follows a couple of school misfits who dive head first into The Pink Opaque, a late night television show. The allure of the supernatural within The Pink Opaque calls to them both. A secret world, just beneath the surface of our own, where everything and everyone is different.

This show acts as a portal for Owen (Justice Smith) and Maddy (Jack Haven) to uncover the parts of themselves they have pushed down. Reality blending with the Opaque. For some they'll be set free, but for others they choose to stay blind to the glow.

The second part to Denis Villeneuve's Dune trilogy closes out the first book in the series, detailing Paul Atreides rise to power on Arrakis as the Lisan Al Gaib. Dune: Part Two is a little longer than the first film, clocking in at a whopping 166 minutes but it's also more action-packed, thanks in part to Austin Butler's chilling turn as the vicious Feyd Rautha. The best part about streaming Dune: Part Two on Max is that you can roll straight into the TV series Dune: Prophecy when you're done.

George Miller's follow-up to 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road chronicles Furiosa's rise through the ranks in the Australian wastelands. Set over a decade, Furiosa see's Charlize Theron's iconic character played by Anya Taylor-Joy (and earlier by Alyla Browne) as she searches for her home after being kidnapped by the maniacal Dementus (Chris Hemsworth.)

Seriously if you haven't seen Galaxy Quest you really should. A stellar comedic cast of Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman play actors in a cult sci-fi TV series. As the remnants of their fandom wane and relationships turn sour, it turns out an alien race has been watching all along. An alien race who doesn't understand that the TV show is fiction and have come across the galaxy to beg these 'heroes' to save them. Now these washed up actors are left to save a world when they couldn't even save their show

You acca-believe it's worth spending 90 minutes of your life watching this movie. Check out every female stereotype, hilariously over exaggerated, and crammed together as an acapella singing sensation. Oh and Rebel Wilson is there. Get set on your couch for some horizontal running

When London's best cop Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is transferred to the sleepy town of Sandford, he doesn't expect to see a lot of action. He's wrong.

Brought to you by the team behind Shaun of the Dead,Hot Fuzz is more than just a spoof, it's a genuinely thrilling ride complete with mystery, murder and the mother of all action show-downs. It's co-written and directed by Edgar Wright who's known for his comic-book style directing, clever dialogue and innovative take on genres. Wright, Pegg and Frost are all movie nerds and Hot Fuzz is full of homage and cameos (including Peter Jackson and Cate Blanchett) that film buffs will love spotting. Even if you don't like cop movies, you'll love Hot Fuzz.

If you haven't watched The Mummy yet, you've got to get onto that. It's got Brendan Fraser. It's got Rachel Weisz. It's got monsters, adventure, a villain who looks exactly like the main guy from Aqua, and more sharp lines than you can shake a stick at. Sure, it may be light on historical or even biological accuracy. But if you're the type of person who'd choose flesh-eating scarab beetles over 'reality', this movie is for you.

The Cobra Kai sensation may be exclusive to Netflix, but if you want a whole lot of the Karate Kid series that spawned it, you want a Binge subscription. Full disclosure: you won't get the derided The Next Karate Kid (sorry, Hillary Swank), but you can find that on Netflix if you're a series completionist. Swanky disclaimer aside, you get the iconic original (The Karate Kid), its solid sequel (Part II), and the shakier trilogy conclusion (Part III). Depending on how you feel about it, either as a bonus or a crane kick to the face, Binge also has The Karate Kid reboot from 2010. Once standalone, that Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith-led flick is now part of the universe thanks to the 2025 release of Karate Kid: Legends.

Older movies from the early 2000s are great. And there are plenty of classics from the '80s and '90s. But Binge is streaming one of the best World War II movies of the 1970s, which is saying something in a decade with some fantastic war flicks. Kelly's Heroes does things a little differently from other war movies, splicing the grounded backdrop of World War II with a larger-than-life heist plot. Apparently it's based on a true story, though, which makes it even wilder. Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles and Donald Sutherland lead a charismatic ensemble cast of movie legends. Their off-the-books mission: get in behind enemy lines to nab a cache of gold bars before their comrades arrive. What ensues is a heist like no other, with great action and lots of laughs in a different-but-incredible World War II flick.
