7 great movies you should watch on Netflix this weekend

• Each week, INSIDER rounds up a list of seven great movies to watch on Netflix over the weekend.
• This week, we're taking a look at some Oscar-nominated films following this week's nods, like "Black Panther" and "Roma." The streaming service also has a few new additions, including a "Hotel Transylvania" sequel you may want to check out. 

There's so much content coming and going from Netflix that it can become difficult to find a movie to watch.

Each week, INSIDER selects new and old flicks you may not have realized are on the streaming service to ease your scrolling woes. In honor of the Oscar nominations this week, we're adding some best picture nods to the mix as well.  

From "Black Panther" to "The Fighter," here are seven movies on the streaming service you should watch this weekend (along with their Rotten Tomatoes scores when available). We really wanted to recommend Mads Mikkelsen's new Netflix movie "Polar," out Friday, but it has pretty terrible reviews.

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

1. "Black Panther" (2018)

Netflix description: "T'Challa, the superpowered new leader of the hidden, highly advanced African nation of Wakanda, strives to protect his home from enemies of old and new."

Critic score: 97%

Audience score: 79%

If you haven't seen Ryan Coogler's superhero movie, now's the time to watch. The family story centered around T'Challa's Black Panther is the first comic-book movie nominated for best picture, not only for Chadwick Boseman's performance, but for one of the best villain stories you'll see in a superhero flick. 

If you're not watching for them, the all-star cast also features Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong'o, and scene-stealer Letitia Wright. "The Walking Dead" fans will recognize actress Danai Gurira without the usual wig she's sporting to slay the undead.

2. "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" (2018)

Netflix description: "Ranging from absurd to profound, these Western vignettes from the Coen brothers follow the adventures of outlaws and settlers on the American frontier."

Critic score: 92%

Audience score: 77%

You may have missed this one when it was released in August, but if you're a fan of the Coen brothers ("Fargo,""True Grit"), watch this Western for its cast ranging from Liam Neeson to Brendan Gleeson. The Netflix original was just nominated for three Oscars, including best costume design, best adapted screenplay, and best original song.

3. "The Fighter" (2010)

Netflix description: "After a string of defeats, a boxer rediscovers his fighting will with help from his trainer and half-brother, a once-talented pugilist."

Critic score: 90%

Audience score: 89%

Both Amy Adams and Christian Bale were nominated by the Academy for their roles in "Vice." While that's in theaters, you can watch the duo in another Oscar-winning film, for which they were both nominated, from 2010. If you want to see Bale get lost in another transformative role, the actor's turn as an addict in the boxing biopic won him his first Oscar.
