The Netflix library is constantly expanding, with new movies being added throughout each month. The streaming service has a huge selection of both new and old movies. We update this list of the top Netflix movies right now after searching the week’s selection of films to help you choose what to watch.
Here are the 5 movies you should this weekend on Netflix:
Your Place or Mine
In this charmingly straightforward romantic comedy, Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher play two friends whose decision to swap homes for a week has some unintended repercussions. Aline Brosh McKenna, who also serves as an occasional director for the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend television series, wrote and directed the comedy, which provides a perfectly timed dosage of rom-com laughs for Valentine’s Day.
Day Shift
In this action-horror movie, which also stars Dave Franco and Snoop Dogg in supporting parts, Jamie Foxx plays a pool cleaner who moonlights as a vampire hunter. The movie’s impressive fight sequences are a result of J.J. Perry’s direction, who is also the award-winning stunt coordinator for the most recent Fast & Furious films. The movie is a fun popcorn movie that doesn’t ask you to think too much; just sit back and take in the action. It is fast-paced, explosive, and full of humour.
JUNG_E
This sci-fi movie is part explosive action spectacle, part examination of large business and technology gone awry, and it was written and directed by the same people who brought you Train to Busan. The movie centres on a scientist who is developing the next iteration of lethal artificial intelligence designed for combat, based on the brain patterns of one of the most renowned mercenaries in history who was rendered unconscious after a failed assignment. The scientist has spent decades juggling her mother’s heritage and the company’s ownership of what’s left of her mother, but there’s a catch: the mercenary is actually the scientist’s mother.
The Pez Outlaw
This film examines the peculiar story of Steve Glew, a pitiful factory worker from rural Michigan who, after spotting a profit opportunity in Pez candy dispensers, found himself in the middle of a global trade dispute and at odds with some of the most influential people in the candy business. Just after the Berlin Wall fell, his trip would take him to isolated parts of Eastern Europe where he would negotiate multi-million dollar deals involving the little plastic candy dispensers while avoiding corporate spies and shady characters both inside and outside the United States. The world of Pez wouldn’t seem to contain this much drama, but Steve “Pez Outlaw” Glew’s fascinating story is full of real-life characters as colourful as the candy dispensers at the local convenience store.
The Pale Blue Eye
In this thriller from Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper, Christian Bale plays a detective looking into a string of murders at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1830. The narrative has him working with eccentric young cadet Edgar Allen Poe at the school, which is an intriguing concept on its own. You won’t be let down if the eerie is what you anticipate.
I hope you do watch these movies because they cannot be missed! And I’m sure watching them will really uplift your mood
