Escape the January blahs with these three hidden gems on Netflix. From WWII resistance to classic gangster flicks, there's something for everyone.
2025 is here, and it’s weird living in the future. But some things remain the same: Early January still stinks, and all the good movies have already been released and watched. Nosferatu? Seen it. A Complete Unknown? Watched it opening day. What’s a person to do for the weekend? I should probably exercise, but I’d rather watch a good movie or two. Netflix has plenty of them, and these three underrated movies are just the ticket for spending quality time at home.
One is a recent arrival you may not have heard of, while the other two are older movies starring actors who are still headlining blockbusters today. The public’s appetite for entertaining war movies never abates, and Netflix is a great destination for war stories you don’t normally hear about. Take, for example, Number 24, a 2024 movie that chronicles Norway’s greatest WWII hero, Gunnar Sønsteby, who resisted Nazi occupation of his homeland from day one. I had never heard of him, and this movie, which just hit Netflix on January 1, does a great job at showing just why his life and actions are so important. It’s 1940, and the Germans have just invaded Norway. Gunnar, a recent college graduate working as an accountant, immediately decides to join the resistance effort despite the dangers it could bring him and his loved ones. He’s recruited into a secret organization run by the British and given the codename Agent 24. Gunnar soon becomes a master of disguise as he carries out various acts of sabotage designed to weaken the Nazis hold on Norway … and maybe turn the tide of the war. Number 24 is streaming on Netflix. In the 1930s, one of the dominant film genres was gangster films
