20 Best Netflix 2017 Original Movies - Ranked

17. Deidra & Laney Rob A Train

A modest Sundance indie that landed quietly on Netflix last March, this crime comedy is boosted immeasurably by charming central performances from Ashleigh Murray and Rachel Crow as two sisters who plot to rob a train in order to support themselves and bail their mother out of jail.

Though a stereotypical quirky festival indie comedy in some respects, the dramatic potency ensures it's more than just that, aided by not only the central performances but also an hilarious supporting turn from Tim Blake Nelson as the detective tasked with stopping their heist.

And above all else, just how many movies starring two black women, directed by a Navajo woman no less, actually get made in Hollywood? That's totally worth supporting.
