Admittedly, February is not going to be the best month of 2021 when it comes to new releases on Netflix, but the well hasn’t exactly run dry. There are still plenty of great and highly-anticipated movies joining the library, from Inception to the third installment in the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before series. Plus, fans of classic sitcoms should latch on to The Crew, which is a throwback starring none other than the king of Queens himself, Kevin James.

In chronological order, here are the top ten movies and shows coming to Netflix in the month of February:

  1. Inception | February 1st
  2. Shutter Island | February 1st

    • From director Joe Berlinger (Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, Paradise Lost), Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel is the first season in a new documentary series that deconstructs the mythology and mystery surrounding infamous locations in contemporary crime. For nearly a century the Cecil Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles has been linked to some of the city’s most notorious activity, from untimely deaths to housing serial killers. In 2013 college student Elisa Lam was staying at the Cecil when she vanished, igniting a media frenzy and mobilizing a global community of internet sleuths eager to solve the case. Lam’s disappearance, the latest chapter in the hotel’s complex history, offers a chilling and captivating lens into one of LA’s most nefarious settings.
  8. To All The Boys: Always And Forever | February 12th
    • It started with an old love letter — and turned into a new romance. What does the future hold for Lara Jean and Peter?

Now that you’ve seen the best, be sure to take a look at the rest — here’s the full list of everything being added to Netflix’s catalog this month, as well as everything that the service will be removing.
