The Bad Guys7.3Best crime 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. The Irishman leads with 9.2, and the list runs from 1983 to 2025, with an average score of 8.0. 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.
