From Netflix's new movie "The Holiday Calendar" to "Paddington" which leaves the streaming service in two weeks, these are some awesome movies on Netflix you can watch this weekend.
Here are seven movies on Netflix you should watch over the weekend (along with their scores from Rotten Tomatoes).
Note: Not all of these films are available in countries outside the United States. Sorry!
"The Holiday Calendar"— A Netflix Original
Netflix description: A photographer unwraps Christmas magic and romance when she receives an antique Advent calendar that seems to predict the future.
Critic score: N/A
Audience score: N/A
The first of Netflix's slew of brand new holiday movies is a bit dumb, but it's fun and will get you in the mood.
"Children of Men" (2006)
Netflix description: In a grim future in which humans can no longer reproduce, one woman mysteriously becomes pregnant, and a conflicted bureaucrat fights to protect her.
Critic score: 92%
Audience score: 85%
This is certainly not a feel good film, but it's one of the best films of the century so far, and one of director Alfonso Cuarón's most technically and visually impressive movies to date. The cast includes Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
"From Dusk Till Dawn" (1996)
Netflix description: Two robbers take a man and his kids hostage. Racing to the Mexican border, the criminals rendezvous at a cantina — not knowing it's a vampire den.
Critic score: 63%
Audience score: 76%
This silly movie perfectly captures everything about 90s culture and that decade's movies. It's gross, absurd, slightly scary, and a very different role from anything George Clooney has ever done. But the most memorable thing about the movie after all these years is Quentin Tarantino's terrible acting skills.
