Some Netflix movies are great, others aren’t very much so. In the end, a great movie can only be decided by individual viewers. Greatness is relative. So, there isn’t a universal definition of what a great movie is. However, Netflix tries to do great with their movie attempts.

This post compiles what we think are the 9 best Netflix original movies you should see. Possibly, before the year runs out. Look through the list.
