Since moving from a DVD service to a streamer in 2007, Netflix has released a countless number of original movies, from Oscar nominees and popcorn action flicks, to some that even the streaming giant would like to forget (“6 Underground”).

With the return to cinemas seemingly a long way off for most, and with more and more studios pushing back their tentpole movies every day, we thought it would be poignant to look at some of the extremely interesting movies still to hit streaming giant Netflix in 2020, which will become one of the only sources of new films for what appears to be the foreseeable future.
