Top 3 Movies on Netflix to Watch Now

Another weekend is upon us, and the age-old question of what to watch is back in full force. With an array of enticing options on the best streaming platforms, it can be overwhelming to decide. Fear not! I’ve got you covered. I keep a close eye on the Netflix top 10 each weekend to extract the cream of the crop, ensuring that you don’t waste your valuable streaming time on overhyped disappointments. This weekend’s lineup is packed with thrilling options, perfect for injecting some excitement into your routine.

The top movies this weekend feature a mix of genres but are primarily focused on thrillers. Among them, my top choices include a pulse-pounding thriller, a shark movie that puts “Jaws” to shame, and a gripping true crime documentary. If none of these spark your interest, don’t worry – our guide to new releases on Netflix this month has a treasure trove of recommendations waiting for you. So, without further ado, here are the three must-watch movies from Netflix’s top 10 list this weekend. Enjoy the show!

Let’s start with “Thrash,” which has skyrocketed to the number one spot on Netflix. The movie aims to recreate the success of Netflix’s previous hit, “Under Paris,” by unleashing a thrilling shark-filled adventure. With a 38% Rotten Tomatoes score, opinions may vary, but writer-director Tommy Wirkola’s track record, including the campy holiday horror flick “Violent Night,” promises an exhilarating ride. As a Category 5 hurricane wreaks havoc on a coastal town, floodwaters rise, and hungry sharks prowl the streets. Phoebe Dynevor, known for her role in “Bridgerton,” shines as Lisa Fields, a pregnant woman trapped in her car, surrounded by danger. Djimon Hounsou, the co-star, takes on the role of marine researcher Dale Edwards, racing against time to protect the town’s residents from becoming shark bait.

Next up is “Beast.” While I haven’t watched it yet, the impressive Rotten Tomatoes scores (68% from critics and 77% from audiences) have caught my attention. Not to mention, having Idris Elba in the leading role is always a win. In this thriller, Elba plays Dr. Nate Daniels, a father coping with the recent loss of his wife who takes his daughters on a trip back to where he first met their mother – a South African game reserve. What was supposed to be a bonding experience quickly turns into a fight for survival as a vicious predator targets the family. If you’re in the mood for a gripping, no-nonsense survival thriller, “Beast” promises to deliver an adrenaline-packed movie night experience.

Both of these films offer a thrilling escape into the world of cinema, perfect for a weekend movie marathon. So, grab your popcorn, settle in, and get ready for a cinematic adventure with these top picks from Netflix’s top 10 list. Happy streaming!
