Our list of the best hidden gems and underrated movies on Netflix right now includes indies, horror movies, and even big studio films that didn't catch on.
If you find yourself thumbing through the Netflix queue and saying “I’ve seen that” over and over again, we’ve got you covered. Our list of the most underrated movies on Netflix focuses on hidden gems and films that maybe didn’t hit big when they were initially released, but are well worth watching regardless.

Barry perhaps isn’t a standard biopic of the future President of the United States Barack Obama. Instead of focusing on his early political career or his achievements as commander-in-chief, this coming-of-age story focuses on Barack’s college years, where he builds the skills and charisma that would later launch him to success. Devon Terrell gives a breakout performance and transforms a larger-than-life figure into a relatable teenage kid discovering who he is.

Julian Barratt delivers a rousing performance as the titular character, the former star of a cult action television series who is now washed up. Mindhorn has to become an actual hero when he becomes intertwined in a real murder mystery involving some of the biggest fans of his show.
