By its standards, the streamer's lineup of film originals in January is surprisingly slight. There are still a few Netflix-exclusive movies worth recommending this month, though, and the service is making up for its slim pickings of originals with a batch of exciting streaming acquisitions that is practically bursting at the seams with modern classics from the past 30 years.

January has been a great month to have an Apple TV+ subscription if you like series about people trying to unravel strange mysteries, with both Silo and Severance debuting their second seasons. Now the trend continues with Prime Target, a brand new show about a mathematician who becomes a hunted man for mysterious reasons.

This month’s selection of movies includes an underseen rock opera, one of the best movies of the 2000s, a paranoid thriller about American misdeeds abroad, and a nice pre-Oscars catch-up on one of Timothée Chalamet’s best performances.
