It’s the start of the month, and Netflix has kicked things off strong with a wave of movies rotating in and out of the library. Below, we highlight three (technically four!) must-watch new arrivals and provide a full rundown of the 38 new titles now available in the United States.
These new additions come hot off the back of a decent week for new arrivals. You can find a full recap of everything added to Netflix for the week ending January 31st here.
While Netflix did add 38 new titles today, it also removed a couple dozen. Movies like 21 Jump Street, Snowpiercer, Takers, and White House Down were all on the chopping block today, and there are a lot more removals scheduled throughout the month, too. For a look ahead at everything else coming to Netflix throughout February, keep it locked here on What’s on Netflix.
What to Watch on Netflix From The New February 1st Arrivals
Parasite (2019)
Rating: R
Language: Korean
Genre: Drama, Thriller
Director: Bong Joon Ho
Cast: Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun, Cho Yeo-jeong

Runtime: 132 min / 2h 12m
Today marks the first time that Bong Joon Ho’s incredible, record-breaking, and Oscar-winning film Parasite is streaming on Netflix in the United States. While the director has an impressive catalog of films, Parasite remains a landmark achievement, further solidifying both South Korea’s and Bong Joon Ho’s rightful influence on global culture.
The film explores poignant themes of deepening class divides, with the story centering on Ki-taek’s family as they develop a peculiar interest in the wealthy and glamorous Park family, hoping to improve their own circumstances. However, things quickly spiral out of control when an unexpected incident occurs.
If you’ve never seen the movie before or haven’t watched it since its incredible and unexpected performance at the 92nd Oscars, now is the perfect time.

With a live-action remake just a few months away, what better time to revisit the animated masterpiece How to Train Your Dragon, which landed on Netflix today alongside its equally impressive sequel? Both films feature a stellar voice cast, emotionally resonant writing, and stunning visuals, making them absolute treats for the senses and infinitely rewatchable.
You, Me and Dupree (2006)
Rating: PG-13

As we enter the month of love with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Netflix has acquired the licenses for a few romantic comedy classics from the past two decades. While not necessarily the best of the bunch, one title you might want to revisit is You, Me and Dupree, especially with Running Point—also starring Kate Hudson—hitting Netflix this month. It serves as the perfect warm-up for Hudson’s latest project.
In You, Me and Dupree, Hudson stars alongside Owen Wilson and Matt Dillon. The film follows a newlywed couple whose life is turned upside down when the best man overstays his welcome, crashing at their house for what was supposed to be just a few days.
