17/05/2019 - 04:00 PM

Charming us since his days as a goofy high schooler on Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure [1], Keanu Reeves [2] has had a lucrative career, racking up a reputation as one of the sweetest people in Hollywood [3]. As he himself puts it [4], his movies entertain. He became an action icon following his role as Neo in The Matrix and a pencil-wielding assassin in John Wick. Rom-com connoisseurs may remember him as Diane Keaton [5]'s dreamy boyfriend from Nancy Meyer's Something's Gotta Give or Winona Ryder [6]'s snarky love interest in Destination Wedding [7]. This Summer, he's doing a little bit of everything, lending his talents to the third instalment of the badass John Wick mega-franchise [8] and stealing Ali Wong's heart in Always Be My Maybe [9]. But you don't need to go to the theatres to catch him — here are nine Keanu Reeves films that you can stream on Netflix!

The Matrix

Directed two decades ago by the Wachowskis, The Matrix still stands as a cultural giant. In the cyberpunk movie, Reeves plays Neo (an iconic role originally offered to Will Smith! [11]), a computer programmer who discovers the truth about the simulated reality of The Matrix, a huge AI system that has tricked people into the illusion of a real world. Whether you take the red pill or the blue pill, you'll want to check the movie out.
