Best Netflix comedy movies - THE FORTY-YEAR-OLD VERSION 2
THE FORTY-YEAR-OLD VERSION (L-R): RADHA BLANK (WRITER, DIRECTOR) as RADHA, OSWIN BENJAMIN as D. Cr. NETFLIX ©2020 /

3. The Forty-Year-Old Version

Radha Blank proves she is a force to be reckoned with in the industry with her enthralling and eye-opening look at the flow of the artist’s life. The 40-Year-Old Version is a top-notch feature with a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score that was the talk of the town at Sundance where Blank won the coveted U.S. Dramatic Competition Directing Award.

Blank proves she is a triple threat as the film’s writer, director, and star. In the award-winning flick, she plays a struggling N.Y playwright who is desperate to make it before turning 40. She reinvents herself as a rapper, and the end result is nothing short of superb, offering Netflix subscribers one of 2020’s undisputed best comedies.

4. Unknown Origins

Netflix put out a lot of solid comedies in 2020, but none of them are anything like Unknown Origins. The well-crafted action-adventure comedy offers an innovative and unique narrative that will keep viewers instantly engrossed and laughing out loud throughout the film’s modest runtime.

The film’s plot is set in Madrid in the year 2019, where a serial killer is on the loose and spreading chaos everywhere. Throughout this darkly funny affair, anonymous people with no obvious connection are killed while imitating famous superheroes’ initial appearances. There is no denying Unknown Origins is unlike anything else and deserves a spot on everyone’s watch list.
