Upgrade7.9Best action movies on Netflix lists the 25 highest-rated movies you can stream there in the US right now, ranked by Lantern Score: one number on a 10-point scale that combines IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, so a title has to impress audiences and critics alike. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse leads with 9.1, and the list runs from 1986 to 2025, with an average score of 8.4. Only titles with plenty of votes qualify, so a film rated by a handful of people can't crowd out proven favourites. Streaming catalogues change, so the list is rebuilt every day.
