The Office for the millionth time? Lucky for you, we’ve scoured the Internet to bring you the highest rated movies according to IMDb that are available on Netflix right now.
Twin Peaks
Twin Peaks, which takes on a life of its own. The show only ran originally for two seasons but later inspired a movie. It later came back in 2017 on Showtime due to its huge following. That following earned it an 8.8 on IMDb.

House of Cards
The first Netflix Original comes in the form of his cunning wife, Claire claw their way to the top of the political food chain. It kicks off with Frank being snubbed the position of Secretary of State. Of course, it becomes the Underwood's mission to destroy every single one of their enemies and gain power that way. You know, just your average day on Capitol Hill. The show’s biting dark humor and pessimistic view of American politics has appealed to a lot of audiences and driven an IMDb rating of 8.8.
Arrested Development
The show follows Michael Bluth as he tries to keep his family and their business afloat after his father is arrested for a variety of fraudulent crimes. The cast of characters is as wild as it is endearing, and Jason Bateman’s performance is really second to none. It’s also an 8.9 rating on IMDb, which some may even say is far too low.
Black Mirror
Unsurprisingly, another Netflix Original makes the list in Black Mirror. A reimagining of the sci-fi classic Twilight Zone, the anthology posits one unique futuristic scenario in each episode. Typically, they all have to do with some sort of technology gone wrong. Since its premiere in 2011, it’s been one of Netflix’s staple owned content series. It’s dark and unsettling, and many audiences find themselves glued to the TV unable to look away (which is a little ironic, of course). Of course, Black Mirror made huge waves this year with Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, a choose-your-own-adventure style cinematic experience. Unsurprisingly, viewers have given the series an 8.9.

Stranger Things
It’s doing a lot. However, it had managed to ride the line between doing a lot and doing way too much. The fact that the kid actors (especially Dustin) are undeniably charming only adds to the appeal of Stranger Things. Typically, these types of shows only work for one type of audience, but with a rating of 8.9, Stranger Things proves to be the exception to the rule.
Friends
If you find yourself drawn to the oldie-but-a-goodie types, be a classic for years to come. Ross and Rachel basically defined shipping as we know it today. Plus, even if you’re not overly familiar with the show, you probably have made the “PIVOT” joke at least once. Friends is one of those shows that’s just ingrained in pop culture. Forget the haters and pop on that episode you’ve seen a thousand times. Television is meant to be enjoyed, after all. So many people have continued to enjoy this show that Friends has kept a rating of 8.9 on IMDb.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
It’s no surprise that the original manga, of course. It follows two brothers on the quest for the Philosopher’s Stone (oh, hey Harry Potter). Despite focusing on two teenagers, it has a serious dark side, dealing with themes of the exchange of human life for power. Violating the laws of alchemy has severe consequences, and the series doesn’t shy away from that aspect of the lore. Fullmetal Alchemist has earned itself a solid nine rating.
Sherlock
Another point for the BBC! This time, however, it's in the form of a modern-day spin on a British classic. all we about them. Lest we forget, Sherlock was a really great retelling of a story that so many of us love. Each of the long-form episodes took on one of Arthur Conan Doyle’s books and was examined in a new light. In particular, Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance as the iconic detective drew him a lot of praise, for good reason. The series has gotten itself a rating of 9.2.

Breaking Bad
This entry shouldn’t surprise anyone at all,It debuted in 2008 but its themes are still so relevant and its biting dark humor is only more at home with today’s TV. Breaking Bad earned a cool 9.5 on IMDb.
Planet Earth & Planet Earth II
Both seasons of the the most expensive ever commissioned at that. Reviewers raved in both 2006 and 2016 at the beautifully shot and mesmerizing look at the planet we call home. If you’ve had enough of all the true-crime documentaries and want something to transport you (as well as being some serious eye candy), turn to Planet Earth or Planet Earth II. The original has an IMDb rating of 9.4 and the sequel has a rating of 9.5, so the consensus is that both are home runs.
