Top 5 Keanu Reeves movies on Netflix
1) The Matrix (1999)
The first installment of one of the most iconic sci-franchises of all time, The Matrix was a game-changer both for the film industry and Keanu Reeves’ career. Set in a dystopian future where humans don’t realize they’re trapped inside a simulation, this movie spawned several sequels, the latest of which is currently in the works.
2) Always Be My Maybe (2019)
Always Be My Maybe was definitely the rom-com of 2019. Telling the story of two childhood-friends-turned-lovers who reunite after 15 years apart, this film is the classic “best friends fall in love” tale—but with one shocking Keanu Reeves cameo that’s as magnificent as it is hilarious.
3) Between Two Ferns: The Movie (2019)
Zach Galifianakis is a master interviewer, and he brings the best of his absurdist flair in the movie version of his talk show, Between Two Ferns. This film is 83 straight minutes of hilarity, awkwardness, and all the dry snark you could wish for in the form of several celebrity interviews—and Keanu Reeves’ is, of course, one of the very best.
4) Something’s Gotta Give (2003)
A sweet, funny, easily digestible rom-com, Something’s Gotta Give is a rare example of a modern romance geared toward an adult audience. This film features Keanu Reeves as a lovestruck doctor caught in the midst of a sticky love triangle—and things aren’t looking too sunny for him. Sorry, Keanu. We’ll always love you anyway.
5) To the Bone (2017)
To the Bone is a truly heartrending film.
