Yahoo has published a list of five best sci-fi movies on Netflix, and it puts Godzilla Minus One at the top. The film opens in the dying embers of World War II, when Kōichi Shikishima, a Japanese kamikaze pilot, pretends to have engine trouble to escape his duty.
That choice sends him to Odo Island, where Godzilla attacks a base and Shikishima escapes with his life. He then tries to rebuild in devastated Tokyo, only for Godzilla to return and drag him back into the same nightmare.
The recommendation matters because the list is built as a movie guide, not a news event, and it uses Netflix’s library to spotlight titles readers can actually watch now. The source also notes that there have been almost 40 Godzilla films over the years, which makes the claim that Godzilla Minus One is the best Godzilla movie ever made a sharp one.
Yahoo’s other picks include Jurassic World, the 2015 release about a theme park full of genetically engineered dinosaurs opening to the public, and Oxygen, a claustrophobic thriller set in a single cramped location. Oxygen stars French actress Mélanie Laurent as a woman trapped in a nightmare situation and racing against the clock to find freedom before she runs out of oxygen.
The friction in the list is simple: these are not quiet background watches. They are big, kinetic survival stories, and the best-known title among them comes with the weight of almost 40 earlier Godzilla films behind it. That makes the top slot less like a casual recommendation and more like a verdict on how far the franchise has come.
