- Every week, we put together a list of seven great movies you can watch on Netflix over the weekend.
- This week's list includes "The Lobster," which just became available on the streaming service, and "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" which obviously requires multiple viewings.
Choosing a movie to watch on Netflix over the weekend is a struggle. But it shouldn't be, so we've made it a whole lot easier.
Every week, we look through what's available on the streaming service and recommend seven movies you can watch over the weekend.
Some of our selections recently came to Netflix and some have been available for a while — you might have just missed them because Netflix's algorithm thought you wouldn't like them.
From "The Lobster" to "To All the Boys I've Loved before," these are some awesome movies on Netflix right now.
Here are seven movies on Netflix you should watch (along with their scores from Rotten Tomatoes).
Note: Not all of these films are available in countries outside the United States. Sorry!
"The Lobster" (2015)
Netflix description: In a near-future world, single people are hunted and forced to find mates within 45 days, or be turned into animals and banished to the wilderness.
Critic score: 87%
Audience score: 64%
This movie is strange, but it introduced us to visionary director Yorgos Lanthimos, who directed "The Favourite," one of the best movies of 2018. "The Lobster" is weird, and even though it is set in a fictional world, it's one of the most poignant commentaries on modern dating culture and the norms people are pressured into living. It's also funny, in a very, very dark way.
"To All the Boys I've Loved Before" (2018)
Netflix description: When her secret love letters somehow get mailed to each of her five crushes, Lara Jean finds her quiet high school existence turned upside down.
Critic score: 96%
Audience score: 89%
"To All the Boys I've Loved Before" is an awkward, cute movie that captures what people loved about the book it's based on. It's the perfect teen rom-com for the modern age that you'll probably find yourself re-watching sooner than expected.

"Christmas With a View" (2018)
Netflix description: Still reeling from a business failure, the restaurant manager of a ski resort finds her world jolted by a new chef, who has his own hidden past.
Critic score: N/A
Audience score: N/A
Let me be very clear: "Christmas With a View" is terrible, and it doesn't even have a Rotten Tomatoes page. Most of the scenes and dialogue don't make sense which makes it, essentially, "The Room" of holiday movies. But somehow, you cannot look away. It's impossible to stop yourself from watching this train wreck unfold, and I cannot recommend it enough.
