No plans over the holiday weekend?
With an extra day off, you'll have plenty of time to stay inside to watch movies.
To make your decisions on what to watch a lot faster, we look through Netflix's selection each week and and pick seven movies you should watch.
We select a few that have come on the service recently and mix in a couple available movies that you might have missed. We also tell you why you should watch them, and provide the Netflix synopsis and Rotten Tomatoes scores.
From the hilarious female-led Netflix original "Ibiza" to the historical thriller "The Imitation Game," these are wonderful movies on Netflix that you can watch over the weekend.
Here are seven movies on Netflix you should check out:
"Ibiza" (2018) — a Netflix original
Netflix description: When Harper’s two best friends tag along on her work trip to Barcelona, they ditch work and fly to Ibiza for Harper, who against her better judgment, falls for a hot DJ.
Critic score: 83%
Audience score: N/A
"Ibiza" is a hilarious movie that takes advantage of gross-out comedy cliches rather than shying away from them, and that's what makes it so great. The three female leads (Gillian Jacobs, Phoebe Robinson, and Vanessa Bayer) are excellently cast as quirky but somehow relatable characters, and Richard Madden (AKA Robb Stark, RIP) plays an EDM DJ.
"The Imitation Game" (2014)
Netflix description: During World War II, a gay mathematician leads a team of cryptanalysts as they work feverishly to break the Germans' notorious Enigma code.
Critic score: 91%
Audience score: 91%
This important and not-often-told story is one everyone should know. It's very well-paced for a historical drama, and Benedict Cumberbatch (who earned his first Oscar nomination for the role) is fantastic, as is Keira Knightley.
"Cargo" (2018) — a Netflix original
Netflix description: Amid a terrifying pandemic, a father searches the wilds of Australia for someone willing to protect and care for his infant daughter.
Critic score: 81%
Audience score: 71%
Critics are praising "Cargo" for inserting some solid and quite unexpected character-driven drama into a zombie movie, a genre that's been slightly overdone throughout the years. Martin Freeman is great in it, and it's one of the best and most exciting original movies Netflix has released.
