With Netflix becoming more and more known for its international offerings - just look at Squid Game and Money Heist - it should be no surprise to learn that the streamer has many amazing Japanese movies on offer. When you already have an amazing story in your hands, why not adapt it for the screen? Because of the fantastic anime coming out of Japan, where the medium originated, there are many beautiful animated films to watch, while it appears that there is also an abundance of great thrillers and dramas. While many of the country's films are based on pre-existing manga and anime, as you'll quickly notice on this list, there's clearly a reason for that. In particular, Japanese movies are really underappreciated.
With extreme hits like Parasiteand Romaas just a couple of examples, there are plenty of places to find something new and fantastic to watch.
It seems like more and more people are opening up to watching movies and television in other languages.
