What movie genre should you watch tonight?
By Hayley Small — Written on Mar 11, 2020
Not everyone has the same taste in movies that are best to watch on Netflix. Some zodiac signs prefer suspenseful films, while other horoscopes will want to view a good thriller or comedy flick.
What should you watch on Netflix if you're based on your personality?
Even though Netflix hasn’t been the top pick when it comes to movies lately just because Disney+ came out and completely absorbed a huge part of Netflix’s audience that doesn't mean you won't find something you will enjoy watching.
However, if you are not in the mood for a classic Disney movie, TV reality show or throwback, then Netflix still has some awesome choices to choose from.
They have romantic, comedy, action, horror, and family-friendly. Each person obviously has their own taste in movies that they watch but I wanted to find out what exactly that had to do with an individual’s zodiac sign.
Here's what movie is best to watch on Netflix, by zodiac sign including the type of flick or genre you may like and a film recommendation.
Best movies to watch on Netflix for Aries (March 21 – April 21)
Action and adventure films
Flick Recommendations: 6 Underground, The Foreigner
Aries typically likes romantic movies and sometimes will go for a high-spirited action-adventure movie.
Some movies on Netflix that might be a good choice for an Aries would be, “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” or one of the Avengers movies. It gives them a good dose of happiness and excitement as well as romance and that desired happy ending.
Best movies to watch on Netflix for Taurus (April 22 – May 20)
True Crime Films
Flick Recommendations: The Pursuit of Happiness, Saving Mr. Banks or 22 July
Taurus likes to be entertained and made to laugh. They don’t want to deal with any heavy emotions when they’re watching movies. They watch a movie for an escape from their problems in the real world.
A movie that would be good for them would be “Murder Mystery” or a solid marathon series like “Lord of the Rings”. They come to Netflix looking for a distraction to help them feel worry-free.
Best movies to watch on Netflix for Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Suspenseful films
Flick Recommendations: The Tourist or Extinction
A Gemini likes to feel emotions and be mystified. They want a little mystery or confusion or piecing things together when they’re watching a movie.
They want to have to use their brain and feel like they won’t expect what’s coming next. They might choose a title like, “Bird Box” or “In the Tall Grass”.
Both have an aspect of mystery and confusion as well as horror to keep them on edge.
Best movies to watch on Netflix for Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Tearjerker films
Flick Recommendations: Dallas Buyers Club or Triumph of the Heart
Cancer is a sucker for a romantic comedy or a chick flick. They love the cheesy predictable endings that make them cry or say “aww” when their protagonists obviously get together at the end.
This could also include a period-based film based on a true story. A good movie to satisfy their craving would be, “Always Be My Maybe” or “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society”.
It has romance and intrigue while giving them a little historical background.
Best movies to watch on Netflix for Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Action comedy films
Flick Recommendations: Mr. Right or The Ducks of Hazzard
Leo is okay getting in their feelings and emotions during a movie. They wouldn’t mind a tear-jerker with romance or a dramatic comedy. They might watch something like, “The Spectacular Now” or even “The Theory of Everything”.
Leos are okay using their emotions as an escape from reality. They like knowing that movies can be real and use what people actually go through to create that kind of dawning entertainment.
Best movies to watch on Netflix for Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Science-fi and fantasy films
Flick Recommendations: How It Ends or Batman Begins
A Virgo loves Sci-Fi movies and thrillers. They like the balance of science mystery and aliens with real-life stories. They might browse for a bit just to stop on and play a movie like, “I Am Mother” or “Mute”.
They have a big variety in their tastes but know what they like and will stick with it.
Best movies to watch on Netflix for Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Classic Romance films
Flick Recommendations: The Kissing Booth or The Incredible Jessica James
Libras are happy-go-lucky people who enjoy a tender movie about talking animals or sometimes they need a classic romantic comedy to keep it light-hearted and happy.
They might watch, “Peter Rabbit” or “When We First Met”. It’s a cute balance of the easy-going titles and movie options.
Best movies to watch on Netflix for Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Thriller films
Flick Recommendations: Outbreak or Olympus Has Fallen
Scorpios tend to have a darker sense of humor. They like mystery movies or horror and action but wouldn’t mind throwing a romantic movie in there from time to time.
Their taste is pretty broad, but they like for all the movies they watch to be more emotional than not. They might pick, “The Princess Switch”, “Murder Mystery” or “Avengers”. Just to cover all their bases.
Best movies to watch on Netflix for Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Romantic comedy films
Flick Recommendations: Bride For Rent or You're My Boss
A Sagittarius tries to put on a tough exterior and in a group-setting would vote for a horror or action film but secretly just wants a class rom-com and would be completely content watching that by themselves.
A Sagittarius would choose something like, “The Ugly Truth” or “Hitch”. It doesn’t get more romantic and comedic than those two.
Best movies to watch on Netflix for Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Animated films
Flick Recommendations: The Croods or Monster House
A Capricorn is someone who can’t help but enjoy a family-friendly animated movie. They are a kid at heart and want nothing more than to relive their childhood memories.
They also wouldn’t mind a sci-fi comedy movie to throw in the mix. You might see them binging on, “Hercules” or “Men In Black”. They can’t help themselves when it comes to their childish taste.
Best movies to watch on Netflix for Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Horror films
Flick Recommendations: In The Tall Grass or Gerald's Game
Aquarius has a surprisingly dark taste in the movies that they watch. They’d like something that has a horror/thriller theme to it. Often based on real-life stories.
They’d pick something out like, “In the Deep” or “Creep” whether it be 1 or 2. They want something that will scare them and keep them occupied.
Best movies to watch on Netflix for Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Romance films based on Books
Flick Recommendations: What's Eating Gilbert Grape or P.S. I Love You
A Pisces is a very mature sign and likes to think logically but when it comes to what genre of movie they’re into, they’d go for a romantic comedy or an adventure movie in a heart-beat.
They’d watch, “Indiana Jones” or “The Notebook” on a Saturday night when they’ve got nothing else to do.
