The 25 best new movies to watch on Netflix in January 2019, including Pretty in Pink, The Edge of Seventeen, Velvet Buzzsaw, and Hairspray.

Looking for something to do with all of this cold weather keeping everyone permanently indoors, under a blanket, and in the warmth of the glow of Netflix? Well, Netflix has just what you need with its new releases for February. Although it’s a slower month than usual regarding it’s movie additions, there’s plenty of premieres, specials, and classics coming your way to warm up your month.

On the Netflix original film front, the big-ticket headliner this February is the Jake Gyllenhaal-starred Velvet Buzzsaw, a satirical thriller that’s not quite on the nose for Valentine’s Day but nonetheless entertaining. Also, the streamer premieres New Zealand comedy The Breaker Upperers, Taiwanese dramedy Dear Ex, Ray Romano and Mark Duplass buddy dramedy Paddleton, and the Steven Soderbergh iPhone-filmed sports drama High Flying Bird.

As for the former favorites and long-forgotten hidden gems, Netflix adds a number of movies you will want to drop everything and watch. The best bets this month are Pretty in Pink and The Edge of Seventeen, two teen films relatable to vastly different generations. Beyond those unmissable additions, you’ll also find Hairspray, Jaws, the American Pie trilogy, and Kristen Stewart’s thriller Personal Shopper. To top it all off, keep your eyes peeled for Ray Romano and Ken Jeong’s brand-new stand-up comedy specials.
