Since moving from a DVD service to a streamer in 2007, Netflix has released a countless number of original movies, from Oscar nominees and popcorn action flicks, to some that even the streaming giant would like to forget (“6 Underground”).

Read moreThe 14 Most Anticipated Netflix Original Movies Coming in 2020
With the return to cinemas seemingly a long way off for most, and with more and more studios pushing back their tentpole movies every day, we thought it would be poignant to look at some of the extremely interesting movies still to hit streaming giant Netflix in 2020, which will become one of the only sources of new films for what appears to be the foreseeable future.

Now that most of the summer movie release slate, between May and July, has been rescheduled, we will have to look towards streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney, and AppleTV+ to quench our moviegoing appetites this summer.
