All the Must-Watch Movies Hitting Netflix in November 2025

Netflix is packing November with holiday sap, prestige pics, throwback gems, a few legit thrillers, and at least one Nolan brain-twister for anyone still awake after the pie. I pulled every title hitting the service and gave you the quick lay of the land. A couple of listings had messy details in the wild (looking at you, Joy Ride and The Way Back), so I cleaned those up where it mattered.
