The 3 Best Movies You Absolutely Need to Watch on Netflix This Weekend – Film News

Who has never experienced this? You plan a cozy night on the couch, Netflix seems like the perfect option, but… you just can’t decide what to watch. He keeps scrolling the screen without stopping until, suddenly, he looks at the clock and sees that it’s almost too late to start something.

Rest assured! THE I LoveCinema will help you escape this endless search. We recommend accurate productions, sometimes half hidden in the vast catalogue, so you know exactly what to see tonight. Let’s go?

1. Signals

Touchstone Pictures / Netflix

In Bucks County, Pennsylvania, lives Graham Hess (Mel Gibson), a widower raising his two children, Morgan (Rory Culkin) and Bo (Abigail Breslin). With them lives Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix), Graham’s brother. He lives on a farm and used to be a local pastor, but he rejects that title since he lost his faith after the death of his wife, Colleen (Patricia Kalember).

She was run over by Ray Reddy (M. Night Shyamalan), a resident who fell asleep at the wheel. The family’s life is turned upside down with the emergence of mysterious and gigantic circles that appear overnight on their plantation, without leaving any trace of authorship or motivation.

After The Sixth Sense, M. Night Shyamalan proves once again with Signs that he is a master of classic storytelling. Like his idol Steven Spielberg, Shyamalan places great emphasis on sensitivity to make his characters, their fears and their challenges palpable. This careful approach not only ensures that the actors deliver exceptional performances, it also gives the sci-fi setting an enormous sense of urgency – because you actually care about what happens to this family.

2. The Irishman

Netflix

Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman takes a much more melancholy approach. The master has made it clear countless times that there is no glory in mafia life, and in this almost four-hour epic, he delivers a true epic swan song of the gangster genre.

It is a final deconstruction of the myth, which weighs deeply on the viewer’s heart. The film is the deeply sad chronicle of a murderer, where, in the end, all that remains is remorse, loneliness and the painful certainty of having to live alone with the consequences of his actions.

Just 4 episodes of pure history: The Netflix miniseries that tells the epic story that changed World War II

Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro) has worked for years as a collector for mobster Russell Bufalino (Joe Pesci). Before becoming a feared “bonebreaker” and hitman, Frank was a meat truck driver and fought in World War II, where he also learned Italian.

On Bufalino’s recommendation, Frank ends up becoming a bodyguard for influential union leader Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino), and a strong friendship is born between the two. As Frank rises through the criminal ranks and his acts become more brutal, he receives the most devastating order of all: eliminate Hoffa himself.

3. Here Come the Parents

Netflix

A supernatural drama? An intense mafia thriller? Need something more lively? Of course we do! Fans of family comedies like Father of the Bride will love Here Come the Parents.

Sarah (Allison Strong) is getting married, and her father, Kenny (Adam Sandler), insists on paying for the entire party, even though he is facing financial difficulties. To make matters worse, he still has to deal with pressure from his fiancé’s father (Chris Rock), a successful and wealthy surgeon.

Of course, the film has typical Adam Sandler irreverence. But the production is also a sensitive reflection on male pride and how much unity a community needs to overcome social differences.

As is Sandler’s trademark, the importance of family is at the center of the story – and this is not only portrayed in a charming and affectionate way, but also, in many moments, in a genuinely funny way.
