Netflix’s original movies are like a box of chocolates, to borrow our old friend Forrest Gump's adage. You truly never know what you're going to get. Good! Bad! So bad they're good! For all those in the first category—the Netflix films that are actually worth your time—keep reading below. —Brady Langmann, senior entertainment editor

Featuring, but certainly not limited to: Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and one very good music documentary.

Earlier this year at the Oscars, the streaming giant was up for awards with pictures like Frankenstein and Train Dreams, only to ride on the wave of Kpop Demon Hunters—one of the biggest sleeper hits Netflix has seen to date. While Netflix operates under the philosophy of “something for everyone,” the reality is that it often feels like we’re back channel surfing on cable: absent-mindedly sifting through options without knowing what we actually want to watch.
Still, there are some good Netflix originals to check out in 2026. The year kicked off with The Rip, a whole new Ben Affleck/Matt Damon flick that set a high bar for the months to come. We’ll see how the rest of the year fares in the aftermath of the failed Warner Bros. merger. But for now, these are the best original Netflix films of 2026 so far.

Retro, affordable, cool? Ding, ding, ding! Casio is hitting all the sweet spots by expanding its AQ-240 analog-digital watch lineup. It’s added black and deep-blue sunburst dial options, while keeping the squircle case, stainless-steel bracelet, and combination of analogue hands and a digital display.
The two newcomers are the AQ-240E-1A and AQ-240E-2A2, joining the three AQ-240 models that arrived earlier this year. And while Casio hasn't exactly reinvented the wheel here, it didn't need to.

If you want to know the origin of an iconic piece of menswear, there are two good places to look: the military and the world of sports. In the case of the tracksuit—designed to keep athletes warm before and after competition—the answer is straightforward. But its journey into the modern wardrobe had its fair share of twists.
French brand Le Coq Sportif invented sweatpants in 1920 and introduced the “Sunday Suit,” with an added top, 19 years later. But the tracksuit didn’t enter casual wardrobes until decades later. Chalk it up to a new supply from a well-loved maker and a big moment on the world stage.
