Streaming platforms like Netflix are overflowing with an enormous variety of movies, ranging from bone-chilling horror films to adrenaline-pumping action flicks and fast-paced thrillers. With so many options, it can be overwhelming to choose the right movie to watch. But worry no more! Here are GQ's top four movie recommendations on Netflix for this week, updated to make your movie-picking process much easier.
If you enjoyed "The Last of Us," you'll likely appreciate this dystopian, mid-apocalyptic film based on the book by Megan Hunter. The story is set in a near-future London amidst a severe ecological crisis, presumably due to climate change, where the UK is submerged by a catastrophic flood. Jodie Comer stars as a woman who gives birth at the film's beginning, and the plot follows her and her husband's journey to keep their baby safe as the nation collapses around them. You can watch "The End We Start From" on Netflix.
Pop star and actor Troye Sivan delivers a compelling performance in "Boy Erased," a biographical drama centered on the injustices of a conversion therapy camp. Lucas Hedges plays the lead role, supported by Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe as his fundamentalist Christian parents who send him to the camp. The film portrays the harsh reality faced by queer kids subjected to abusive religious teachers attempting to change their sexual orientation. It’s both a challenging and hopeful watch. You can watch "Boy Erased" on Netflix.
Mark Wahlberg delivers an outstanding action performance in "Lone Survivor," showcasing his dramatic skills seen in films like "The Fighter," "Boogie Nights," and "The Departed." Based on the true story of Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, the film follows his struggle for survival as the only survivor of his squad after a mission in Afghanistan goes wrong. The film's gripping narrative and intense action make it a must-watch. You can watch "Lone Survivor" on Netflix.
"Bad Boys" is one of those films that’s hard to mention without recalling its iconic theme song. This action-packed movie features Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as two unorthodox Miami detectives taking on drug smugglers and corrupt cops. The film redefined the buddy cop genre and spawned a successful franchise with three sequels, including "Bad Boys for Life." You can watch "Bad Boys" on Netflix.
