All 42 of Netflix's notable original movies, ranked from worst to best

From Hollywood flops to popular thrillers, here's some of Netflix's most prominent films rated from worst to best

Netflix's Mudbound could be its big Oscar breakthrough (Netflix)

Netflix will be releasing 80 new original films in 2018, so it's worthwhile to take stock of all that the service currently offers.

With the recent release of its critically acclaimed historical drama "Mudbound," Netflix has its strongest shot yet at Oscar consideration.

Netflix has also released a number of quality movies that not many people have heard of, including the Stephen King adaptations "1922" and "Gerald's Game."

But then the company has had its share of critical flops as well, like the majority of its Adam Sandler films.

To find out which Netflix original films are worth watching, we turned to the reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes to rank each release by its composite critical reception. We excluded documentaries and any film that didn't have enough reviews to receive a designation of "Rotten" or "Fresh." We used audience scores to break ties.
