Upcoming Movies on Netflix in January 2019

All you need to know!

While Universal Studios and 20^th Century Fox may have reigned supreme in the world of cinema for decades, we are undergoing a shift and Netflix, the powerhouse that it is, has become a household name. Being a media-services provider and an internet entertainment service, this American based company was established back in 1997, when its initial business primarily circled around DVD sales.

However, it wasn’t until 2012 that Netflix’s career sky-rocketed and it began to offer a variety of Netflix Original content, and talking specifically about original feature films, the first one to come out was 2015’s Beasts of No Nation. After that, there was no stopping!

One after another, Netflix has provided its 130 million (paid) subscribers with enthralling movies which keep them hooked and keep them coming back for more. Last year we saw the Will Smith starrer Bright and then this year, the hype was all about To all the Boys I’ve Loved Before, and just as we know it, the sun of 2018 is setting upon us while we stand in awe of 2019 because let me tell you, it’s going to be one heck of a ride!

Right at the very beginning of 2019, in the month of January alone, there are more movies being uploaded on Netflix than we’d even have time to watch!

Here’s a run-down on the ones we at DroidCache think will be worth watching:

Happy Feet, January 1^st

Kicking off with one of my all-time favourites, Netflix viewers would be able to stream the feel-good animation movie, Happy Feet!

Black Hawk Down, January 1^st

What I love about a good war movie is that it transcends you through the vortex of your screen into that era being visualised and takes you through a roller-coaster journey of emotions. One such movie is 2001’s Black Hawk Down; set in 1993, the movie revolves around the events when the U.S. sent its special forces into Somalia to destabilise the government and provide the natives with humanitarian aid. Also, it stars Tom Hardy so all the Hardy fans out there, do stay tuned for this one!

Pan’s Labyrinth, January 1^st

Fusing magic realism with realistic magic, this Academy Award winner should definitely be on everyone’s watch-list.

Pulp Fiction, January 1^st

Quentin Tarantino proved his mettle in terms of direction with his classic, Pulp Fiction, and now it’s going to be on the Neftlix platform!

The Departed, January 1^st

If you’re a Leonardo DiCaprio fan like me, then you’ve probably seen the masterpiece that is The Departed but if not, you can watch it on Netflix on January 1^st!

And Breathe Normally, January 4^th 

Ísold Uggadóttir directs this drama epic, based on an Icelandic single mother facing ordeals like severe poverty, until her path crosses with that of a Guinea-Bissauan asylum seeker, who is caught up in problems of his own. Don’t forget to tune in on the 4^th of January to find out how they overcome their obstacles.

Lionheart, January 4^th

Good news for Jean-Claude Van Damme fans: The iconic 1990 film Lionheart is coming to Netflix on the 4^th of January! 

Solo: A Star Wars Story, January 9^th

Star Wars franchise has won millions of hearts all around the world and rightly so: Impeccable acting, wonderful writing and an interesting story-line that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. The very latest edition, Solo: A Star Wars Story, is coming to Netflix on the 9^th of January and none of you should miss it!

Ant-man and the Wasp, January 29^th

This 2018 American superhero film is sure to pack a punch as it’s a Marvel’s production and as all movie-junkies are well aware, they never fail to deliver.

The Incredibles 2: January 30^th

When it comes to animated movies and specially those by Disney-Pixar, The Incredibles is always in my top 5! And if it’s the same with you then do catch the sequel on January 30^th, only on Netflix.

Happy binge-watching!
