February is already upon us, and it's bringing a fresh batch of movies and shows to Netflix.

Admittedly, this month the focus seems to be more on Originals, with things like "The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep", "Apple Cider Vinegar" and "Zero Day" on their way this month, though there's still a handful of newly-added films that I'd recommend which are coming to (or are already available) on Netflix this month.

They include a kitschy movie musical, a recent horror action-comedy, and an animated movie that's perfect for the whole family.

Below, you can find out a little bit more info about each of these three new arrivals movies which you can enjoy on Netflix U.K. this February.

'Grease' (1978)

Watch On

All these years later, "Grease" is still one of the best movie musicals you can stream, and remains just as energetic and catchy as ever.

This stage musical adaptation depicts the whirlwind romance of greaser Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and Australian transfer student, Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John) when the latter enrolls at Rydell High after their summer lovin' cue a slew of earworm songs and unforgettable routines that I'm sure you're probably humming as you're reading this. It's campy, nostalgic, bubblegum fun, and it's on Netflix very soon. Time for a rewatch?

'Renfield' (2023)

Watch On

Chris McKay's "Renfield" is a fun hybrid of action, comedy, and horror that throws us in with Count Dracula's right-hand man, Renfield (played by Nicholas Hoult).

Renfield is Dracula's wearying, put-upon familiar, and he's grown pretty tired of having to source victims for his master (Nicolas Cage). After stumbling into a support group for people in co-dependent relationships and being inspired by their teachings, he decides to see whether there's life outside The Prince of Darkness' shadow.

It's a campy, B-movie action effort that's worth sticking on if you're looking for a breezy bit of bloody fun. And, frankly, it's worth it to see Nicolas Cage enthusiastically make the most of his on-screen time as the big bad vampire.

Watch on Netflix from February 17

'Shrek' (2001)

Watch On

Back in 2001, "Shrek" introduced us to Mike Myers' anti-social, swamp-dwelling ogre in DreamWorks' animated caper, and a hugely popular franchise was born.

Accompanied by his fast-talking donkey pal (Eddie Murphy), Shrek sets off on a quest to rescue a Princess for the corrupt Lord Farquaad in order to resecure the sanctity of his swamp that's been overrun by banished fairytale beings.

It's remained an enduring family fave and a comfort watch in the years since it first arrived, and with "Shrek 5" on its way, it's practically the perfect time to revisit Duloc all over again.

If it’s in the theaters or available to stream somewhere, he’s probably watched it… especially if it has a dragon in it. Before joining the team, he was a Staff Writer at What To Watch where he wrote about a broad range of shows that stretched from "Doctor Who" and "The Witcher" to "Bridgerton" and "Love Island". When he’s not watching the next must-see movie or show, he’s probably still in front of a screen playing massive RPGs, reading, spending a fortune on TCGs, or watching the NFL.
