The 3 new 'must watch' Netflix films streaming in November

Netflix is refreshing its catalogue once again, and next month is shaping up to be a good one. With the release of Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic tale of Frankenstein, a moving portrait of Robert Grainier, and a comedy adventure that follows the story of two brothers, you are in for a treat.

We've selected the upcoming Netflix films and series that I believe are "must-watches". Here are my top three and a little more about them.

Frankenstein (In select cinemas now on Netflix, November 7)

Frankenstein is a 2025 American Gothic science fiction film written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel of the same name. The film stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Lauren Collins, Charles Dance, and Christoph Waltz. The film's synopsis reads: "A brilliant but egotistical scientist brings a monstrous creature to life in a daring experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation."

In Your Dreams (In select cinemas on November 7 and on Netflix, November 14)

In Your Dreams is an upcoming American animated adventure fantasy comedy film directed by Alex Woo, and co-directed by Erik Benson from a script by Woo and Benson and a story by Woo, Benson, and Stanley Moore. The film stars Craig Robinson, Simu Liu, Cristin Milioti, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Elias Janssen, Gia Carides, Omid Djalili, SungWon Cho, and Zachary Noah Piser. A summary of the film reads: "Stevie and her little brother Elliot journey into the wildly absurd landscape of their own dreams to ask the Sandman to grant them the perfect family."

Train Dreams (In select cinemas on November 7 and on Netflix, November 21)

Train Dreams is a 2025 American drama film directed by Clint Bentley, who co-wrote the screenplay with Greg Kwedar. It is based on the 2011 novella of the same name by Denis Johnson. The film stars Joel Edgerton, Felicity Jones, Clifton Collins Jr., Kerry Condon, and William H. Macy. The film's plot reads: "Robert Grainier lives all of his years in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, working on the land, helping to create a new world at the turn of the 20th century."
