Netflix has become the go-to for people who are in the mood for a new movie but don’t know what to watch. The video streaming platform has become so prevalent that over 192 million subscribers are paying monthly for the service, and who knows how many others are using friends and family’s Netflix passwords? With the ability to just bail on a movie if it gets bad, essentially the equivalent of walking out of the cinema all from the comfort of your own couch is possible. So when these top 10 most popular Netflix Original movies made the list, we knew that they were for real and worth the watch!

Always Be My Maybe (2019)

This Netflix Original is about a successful woman (Ali Wong) who reconnects with her childhood love when she goes back home. Wong wrote, starred, as well as added the right amount of heart into the film. Throughout the film, Wong has trouble seeing that there is more of a connection with her childhood love mainly because she’s dating Keanu Reeves, which is totally understandable.

Fyre (2019)

The infamous Fyre Festival is one of the most lavish and expensive festivals that was never planned. This Netflix Original documentary film follows the series or disorganized disasters that led to fraud and even having one of the organizers opt to provide sexual favors to get things to work out. The documentary is a must-watch cringe-worthy cluster of chaos paired with rich kid tears that will make you shake your head in disbelief!
