Netflix has too much content. It's a great thing, but it also leads to hours spent trying to figure out what to watch, instead of actually watching something.
We're about to make your streaming a little easier. We combed through Netflix's current inventory and collected some relatively recent movie adds that might spark your interest.
From a blockbuster like "Rogue One" to the ray of British sunshine that is "Paddington," these are some great movies on Netflix that you can watch over the weekend.
Here's 7 movies you should watch on Netflix this weekend:
"Wind River" (2017)
Netflix description: "A tracker with the US Fish and Wildlife service assists a rookie FBI agent who's investigating a teen girl's murder on a remote Wyoming reservation."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 87%
Rotten Tomatoes audience score: 90%
Remember Hawkeye? No? He's the lost Avenger, who didn't even make the poster for "Infinity War." While "Wind River" is not in the MCU, it does star Hawkeye himself, Jeremy Renner, who proves in this riveting mystery that he is one of the greatest actors right now. It's violent, but powerfully so, all while being an excellent example of character-driven story.
"Paddington" (2015)
Netflix description: "He's a bear without a home. They're a family without a bear. It seems like a perfect match, till an evil schemer enters."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 98%
Rotten Tomatoes audience score: 80%
Paddington bear wears an old red hat, a blue coat, carries a battered briefcase, and loves marmalade. It is an absolutely delightful, short movie that you won't regret watching, no matter how old you are. It's like a Wes Anderson movie, minus Bill Murray. You will honestly probably want to "Paddington" again right after it's over, it's that good. As an added bonus to the cuteness and exquisite set design, it features Nicole Kidman as the villain, an evil taxidermist.
"Adventureland" (2009)
Netflix description: "Summer turns bummer for a seriously uptight Gen-Xer. but a crappy job may just be the thing to loosen him up."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 88%
Rotten Tomatoes audience score: 61%
Set in the 80s, years before "Stranger Things" made the era really popular, "Adventureland" is a sweet coming-of-age story about a recent college graduate who has to work at a local theme park to make money after his dad loses his job and can't pay for his grad school in New York. All the characters, played by some of the best comedic actors before they were super famous (Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Martin Starr), make the story more authentic. It also has great dramatic performances from Ryan Reynolds and Kristin Stewart.
