I love watching all the best Netflix sci-fi movies and science fiction as a whole! It's been responsible for some of the best moments in cinema. Who can forget Luke Skywalker destroying the death star in Star Wars: A New Hope? Roy Batty's Tears in Rain speech in Blade Runner? Or when Neo dodged bullets in slo-mo in The Matrix?

Here are the 20 best action movies on Netflix, streaming right now. Tom Cruise typically plays heroes who are unflappable and endlessly cool, like Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible movies. But in Edge of Tomorrow, Cruise mixed it up by playing a cocky major who is all talk, no walk.

Of course, with all the options out there, it can be difficult to determine which horror flicks are actually worth your time. Luckily, Netflix currently has a wide selection of quality choices, from timeless classics like Psycho and Jaws to modern-day slashers like Pearl and Thanksgiving to franchise refreshers like Evil Dead Rise and 2018's Halloween.
