Top 5 movies to watch on Netflix this week (Nov. 3 to Nov. 9)

As the temperatures drop and Netflix becomes everyone’s go-to weekend plan, the streaming giant’s latest lineup is stacked with fan favorites, political dramas, and a haunting new twist on a literary legend. 

From Frankenstein to Back to the Future, here are the top five titles to binge between November 3 and 9.

Frankenstein (November 7)

Guillermo del Toro returns with his long-awaited take on Mary Shelley’s gothic masterpiece, Frankenstein. 

Starring Oscar Isaac as the troubled Dr. Frankenstein, this reimagining is visually rich and emotionally gripping, classic del Toro. 

Critics have already given it an 85% Rotten Tomatoes score, while fans are even more generous with a 95% “Popcornmeter” rating. If eerie atmospheres and moral dilemmas are your thing, this is the one to queue up.

Back to the Future Trilogy (November 1)

Forty years later and still as iconic as ever, Back to the Future and its sequels have finally landed on Netflix. Michael J. Fox’s Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd’s Doc Brown deliver the definitive time-travel adventure, bouncing between 1955, 2015, and the Wild West. 

The first film still holds a near-perfect 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, proving it hasn’t lost its spark. Bonus trivia: Biff’s character was famously inspired by Donald Trump, talk about a time loop of irony.

Election (November 4)

Long before Reese Witherspoon was a rom-com queen, she was Tracy Flick, the ruthlessly ambitious student in Alexander Payne’s dark political satire Election. 

Matthew Broderick plays the teacher-turned-rival who tries (and hilariously fails) to stop her rise to class presidency. 

The result is a razor-sharp comedy about ambition, ethics, and ego, with a 92% critics’ score that still holds up.

Whether you’re craving monster mayhem, 80s nostalgia, or satirical chaos, this week’s Netflix lineup has it all. Grab your popcorn, queen, and start streaming.
