Since its premiere, “The Lady” has been winning the Netflix movie ratings for a reason.

“Einstein and the Bomb”: After Oppenheimer

Among the most watched films on the platform is also the docudrama “Einstein and the Bomb.” The production presents a lesser-known, but highly formative period in the life of a prominent physicist who, after escaping Nazi Germany, finds shelter in a log cabin in the woods of Norfolk, England.

The fictional documentary script was based on the scientist's speeches, letters and interviews.

The list of films worth watching must include one of the funniest comedies about the fashion industry.

The heroine's transformation scene (and all the memes it started) will never get boring, just like “The Devil Wears Prada” itself.

Unlike Andy, Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) has dreamed of a career in fashion since childhood. For this purpose, he moves to London, where he mysteriously meets the talented singer Sandy (Anya Taylor-Joy). In this swinging, neon-lit city, nothing is as it seems. That ephemeral description should be enough for you, because “Last Night in Soho” is best watched completely blind.

“Favorites”: court intrigues

Before directors Giorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone gave the world “Poor Things,” the pair worked together on the equally elegant “The Favourite,” which chronicles the bickering between cousins ​​Lady Sarah and Abigail (Rachel Weisz Weston) as they seek the Queen's favors. Unstable Anne (Academy Award winner Olivia Colman). “The Favourite” is not only a world-class tragicomedy, but also one of the best fashion films of recent years. Industry legend Sandy Powell was responsible for the creations that created a new era.
