The term "Netflix and Chill," which was first used in the early 2010s, originally meant a discrete innuendo that suggested watching a movie or TV show for five minutes with a romantic interest, followed by three even shorter minutes of a sexual nature. Although it does raise the question of what people were seeing that was so uninteresting that it forced them to turn off after five minutes, it is now a common satirical term. Or perhaps a more significant question would be, what did they watch for the three minutes that they did? Perhaps it's time to speak with a therapist if it was Lord of the Rings.


The first Netflix Original to win an Academy Award in 2018 was Alfonso Cuaron's Roma, which won for Best Director, Best Foreign Film, and Best Cinematography. Since then, the streaming service has been on a winning streak, earning additional eight Oscar victories for its feature-length, short, and multiple documentaries. Although we can only conjecture on the long-term effects of what happens subsequently, the quality of the streaming platform's production has clearly seen a sharp decline in couples tuning out after five minutes.

No.5 Ma Rainey's Black Bottom


 


Ma Rainey's Black Bottom ended up being Chadwick Boseman's final film, and it is a truly magnificent, radiant farewell present. As entertaining, theatrical, and boisterous as the singer herself, Ma Rainey, a pioneer of the blues in the early 20th century, is portrayed by Viola Davis in George C. Wolfe's semi-biographical film about her band's meeting at a Chicago recording studio in 1927.


Boseman played the part of Levee, a forceful, opinionated, and passionate trumpet player who, as he and the revolutionary Rainey come to literal blows, tries to force his own rendition of Ma Rainey's song "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" down the throats of his contemporaries.


No.4 Marriage Story


Scarlett Johansson received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her work in Noah Baumbach's brilliant movie, the tense but endearing Marriage Story. Johansson and Adam Driver portray the on-screen pair Nicole and Charlie Barber, two accomplished artists who live on the East Coast, respectively, as an actor and a playwright. The couple, who are devoted parents to their son Henry, eventually go through a bitter divorce as a result of their strained relationship and unbridgeable conflicts. Charlie stays in New York while Nicole succeeds in a television position on the West Coast in Los Angeles. The divorcees must learn to navigate their new lives and resolve their personal conflicts in order to ensure their son is raised in a secure environment.


No.3 The Dog's Power



Despite the fact that director Jane Campion winning Best Director was no small accomplishment, there were undoubtedly some unhappy looks on the faces of those at Netflix when this outstanding modern Western didn't take home more awards, especially in light of its dozen nominations. Although it is not immediately clear, Power of the Dog quickly turns into a tale of illicit affection, passion, and a complicated form of love.


It tells the tale of ranch owner Phil Burbank (Benedict Cumberbatch), who is rude, abrasive, and hostile toward his brother George (Jesse Plemons), who moves in with them with his new wife and son. It is a contemporary LGBTQ+ classic, comparable to Moonlight and Call Me by Your Name. In numerous sections, it is shown that Phil is a gay man who is secretive, as he befriends Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee).



No.2 Lack 




Lack, a striking monochrome masterpiece by David Fincher, stars Gary Oldman as Herman J. Mankiewicz. Lack, which won two Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Set Design, springs to life—or rather, stumbles—as a 40-year-old Mankiewicz shows up on the set with two of his weight-bearers and a limp after just being released from the hospital after suffering a broken leg in a car accident. Orson Welles, who is demanding and unrestrained, gives Mank just two months to write Citizen Kane.


As the Mank struggles to finish the (now) renowned and highly esteemed screenplay from the confines of his bed with Rita Alexander serving as his transcribing assistant and secretary, David Fincher's film cuts back and forth between the early 1930s and the Mank's present, physically challenged and frequently alcohol-induced state (Lily Collins).




No 1. Roma 



Alfonso Cuaron's contemporary black-and-white drama Roma, which is set in 1970s Mexico City, is an evocative masterpiece that captures a period of a Mexican family's lives. The movie, which won three Academy Awards, tackles the issue of forced single parenting and the notion that raising a child requires a community. A six-person household with two au pairs quickly reduces to five members when the mother, a pregnant Sofa, is abandoned by her husband Antonio in favour of his lover.


Roma serves as a reminder of the marvels of the human spirit, the tenacity of a family overcoming hardship, and the fact that class is merely a social construct that does not differentiate some of life's core experiences, such as domestic worker Cleo and Sofa's love affairs.
