Choosing the right film for movie night can sometimes prove difficult, especially as new movies come out and a few are talked about online at the same time. So this roundup is to the rescue, featuring movies from Netflix that may be worth seeing on screen this weekend.
Remarkably Bright Creatures
This is an adaptation of one of the popular novels written by Sally Field, which many readers may have on their bookshelves. A widow who works in an aquarium falls into an improbable friendship with a great big Pacific octopus. A novel idea, perhaps one of the more captivating timepieces to be found this May.
Marty, Life Is Short
A documentary is often a starting point that will give you a foundational perspective, and in this case, it’s a look into the life of a legendary comedian that may be especially enlightening. It tells the story of Martin Short, the man who many of us have laughed with over the last 40 years. It’s as if it provides a straight look through the back of a very storied Hollywood life.
Kartavya
This crime thriller with Saif Ali Khan delves into the weighty world of morality and duty for those who prefer a grittier style of entertainment. The movie is about a hard-up cop who is chasing a complex case that could test his life’s principles. It appears to be on trend for its extreme action and quite realistic depiction of law enforcement.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
Sometimes a nineties classic just feels good and it’s great to have the original jungle adventure back on its platform. For those that experienced this era, it might be the ideal nostalgic trip to see Robin Williams at the helm of this magical, high-stakes board game. Still, it’s a favorite for a rainy afternoon on a weekend.
The Proposal
Sometimes you need a solid romantic comedy to lighten a hectic week. You’ll see a lot of fun chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds in this tale of an arranged marriage. It’s a lightweight, simple watch that may be ideal for the people who wish to laugh without pondering much!
Untold UK: Jamie Vardy
This “Untold” episode is definitely more interesting for sports fans because it follows the “overnight” success story of a famous English football player. It is a tale from non-league football to the very top of the Premier League. A very inspiring story that makes it look like it is possible to change one’s life completely with a little bit of luck and hard work.
The Breakfast Club
This is one of the best John Hughes classic movies of all time for teenagers. It’s nice to have it on stream again to let a whole new generation know what makes these five students in detention icons. It’s still a heart-wrenching examination of social divisions and the common spaces that individuals find when they put their mouths to the same water bottle.
Starship Troopers
If you’re a fan of sci-fi but with a little satirical flair, this cult classic has a very different perspective on a sci-fi war. It’s infamous for its extreme action and ridiculing of military culture. Maybe a good choice for a film night with friends that enjoy some genre films.
