Sometimes there’s nothing better than a good, old-fashioned, cheesy throwback movie. Right? Luckily, there’s a handful of those hitting Netflix this February, but none of the month’s best new releases movies are as cheesy as the 1997 throwback Starship Troopers. Travel back in time (or, more actually, into the future) with a viewing of an arguably cult classic.

Based on the science fiction novel of the same name by Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers takes place in the distant future and finds Earth going to war with a foreboding race of giant alien insects. Although there’s not a lot of information on the bugs apart from their insistence on wiping out all traces of human life, a mobile infantry journeys to different alien planets to take on the bugs head on. Both sides of the war try to ensure the survival of their species.

Starship Troopers comes from director Paul Verhoeven, who also directed such movies as RoboCop, Total Recall, Basic Instinct and Showgirls. Upon release, the film garnered mostly negative reception from critics, holding an actually impressive 62% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Its worldwide box office run grossed $121.2 million worldwide against a budget of $105 million, which was enough to spawn four sequels. There has been talk of a potential remake, but nothing has materialized just yet. Be sure to check out the original when it hits Netflix on Feb. 15.
