This true story is efficiently dramatized by the director Chris Weitz (whose filmography, which includes such divergent efforts as \u201cAmerican Pie\u201d and \u201cAbout A Boy,\u201d might not make him an obvious choice for a tough historical drama), and though Matthew Orton\u2019s screenplay includes juicy supporting roles for the likes of Nick Kroll, M\u00e9lanie Laurent and Haley Lu Richardson, its best scenes put Isaac and Kingsley toe to toe and watch them work.<\/p>\n Stream it here<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n This German crime epic became an international sensation when it began airing in 2017 \u2014 reportedly the most expensive television program ever produced in its home country. Based on the best-selling novels by Volker Kutscher<\/a> and brought to life by a trio of writer-directors (Achim von Borries, Henk Handloegten and Tom Tykwer, the latter of \u201cRun Lola Run\u201d and \u201cCloud Atlas\u201d), this sprawling, handsomely mounted narrative is set in the underworld of Germany during the Weimar Republic, the wild and fruitful period that preceded the Third Reich. It\u2019s dizzyingly complex and giddily entertaining, but also timely; as Handloegten noted on its premiere<\/a>: \u201cAll these people didn\u2019t fall from the sky as Nazis. They had to become Nazis.\u201d<\/p>\n Stream it here<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Before it was a turbulent television series<\/a>, and before its director made Oscar history<\/a> for his \u201cParasite\u201d sweep at the 2020 Oscars, the graphic novel \u201cLe Transperceneige\u201d<\/a> by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette was adapted into this thrilling yet thought-provoking 2014 action epic. Bong Joon Ho directs and co-writes with his signature blend of compelling action and social commentary, telling the postapocalyptic tale of a world frozen over, its sole inhabitants passengers on a train that makes no stops \u2014 and one where, in spite of their chaotic circumstances, strict separation of the classes is still in place. Chris Evans, Captain America himself, stars as the leader of the underclass, who foments a revolution that results in disturbing revelations about those around them. Jamie Bell, Ed Harris, John Hurt, Alison Pill, Octavia Spencer, Tilda Swinton and the \u201cParasite\u201d star Song Kang-ho round out the cast.<\/p>\n Stream it here<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n You can set your clock by it: a sure-to-be blockbuster sequel is heading into theaters, so its distributor will pull the predecessor from the subscription streamers to get that sweet \u00e0 la carte rental cash. With \u201cDune: Part Two\u201d hitting theaters on March 1, \u201cDune: Part One\u201d (not its official title, but its accurate one) leaves Netflix the day before, so catch up before it\u2019s too late. Denis Villeneuve<\/a> directs, with an appropriate combination of solemnity and spectacle; Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa and Zendaya star.<\/p>\n\u2018Babylon Berlin\u2019: Seasons 1-3 (Feb. 28)<\/h2>\n
