Here are seven movies on Netflix you should check out (along with their scores from Rotten Tomatoes).

Note: Not all of these films are available in countries outside the United States. Sorry!

"Jurassic Park" (1993)

Critic score: 92%

Audience score: 91%

"Jurassic Park" is not just one of the best action movies ever made — it's one of the best movies ever made. While it is very 90s, its story, characters, and even its special effects — which are still stunning — transcend time. And even if you've seen the movie dozens of times, you'll experience the thrills as if you're seeing it for the first time.



"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" (2006)

Netflix description: Happy-go-lucky troublemaker Capt. Jack Sparrow works his way out of a blood debt with the ghostly Davy Jones, hoping to avoid eternal damnation.

Critic score: 54%

Audience score: 72%

The second movie in this franchise, like all of the other sequels that came after it, lacks the magic of the first. And while "Dead Man's Chest" is long and filled with pointless shenanigans, it's still fun, well-cast, and is a perfect movie to stay in and watch on a too-hot-to-go-outside summer weekend. 



"Meet the Parents" (2000)

Netflix description: Greg Focker is ready to marry his girlfriend, but before he pops the question, he must win over her formidable father, a humorless former CIA agent.

Critic score: 84%

Audience score: 79%

Unlike a lot of comedies from this era, "Meet the Parents" still holds up. It stars Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro, who do an incredible job hating each other. The movie marks De Niro's best comedic performance ever. It's also a worthwhile rewatch. If you haven't seen it in a while, there are a lot of subtle jokes you could have missed when you were younger.
