If you are pondering what to do this weekend, why not watch a couple of films from Netflix. We have complied a list of 39 best films to watch on Netflix now. This article will be the last part of this series, introducing the last 9 best films.
If this list is not enough, do catch up the other 30 best films that have been introduced in Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 if you have not. 31) Knock Down the House
Even if you're not into politics, this behind-the-scenes look at what it took for a young woman to represent her community and make a difference is overwhelmingly inspiring. Knock Down the House follows Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and three other female candidates as they run for Congress in 2018. The obstacles that buffet her campaign and how she deals with them are all captured fly-on-the-wall-style, with fist-pumping results.
32) Athlete A
Athlete A is a deep-dive into one of the largest scandals in sporting history. It follows the investigative journalists from The Indianapolis Star who broke the story of doctor Larry Nassar's abuse of young female gymnasts in the US. The culture of assaults persisted for decades, but there's also light at the end of the tunnel, after brave athletes spoke out.
33) 13th
Ava DuVernay's documentary on the US justice system meticulously covers America's racial history from the abolition of slavery to the present prison structure. If you're in search of educational material, this expansive look at the horrors of mass criminalization of Black people gives you a powerful synthesis of everything you need to know.
34) I Am Mother
I Am Mother might cover familiar sci-fi territory, but if you're after some James Cameron and Ridley Scott-channeling thrills, you're in the right place. We follow a young girl named Daughter, who lives in a post-apocalyptic bunker with her robot, named Mother, whose purpose is to aid the repopulation of Earth. This intriguing premise and setting is ripe for suspense and dark twists, which I Am Mother delivers in style.
35) The Half of It
This original YA movie tells the story of Ellie Chu, a shy Asian-American in the remote town of Squahamish discovering her sexuality. A straight-A yet friendless student who has a side-hustle writing papers for her classmates, Ellie helps footballer Paul Munsky write a love letter to Aster Flores. But it turns out Aster's perfect for Ellie instead. A story of self-acceptance told with a delicate touch, The Half of It is a joy.
36) Set It Up
Set It Up is a rom-com leveled up by the sparkling Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell, as well as an ever-brilliant Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs. Harper Moore is a twentysomething assistant to an editor of a sports media empire. Charlie is an assistant to a venture capitalist. Bonding over their shared workplace mishaps, they concoct a plan to connect their two high-strung bosses, thinking it'll lead to lightened workloads. This romance within a romance hits the expected beats but that makes it no less entertaining to watch.
37) Gerald's Game
If you liked The Haunting of Hill House, then check out Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Stephen King novel Gerald's Game. Carla Gugino is immense as Jessie, who goes on holiday with her husband at an isolated lake house in Alabama. Largely sticking to a bedroom setting, we see the couple's troubles go from bad to worse, with Jessie ending up in the impossible situation of being handcuffed to the bed with no one to help her escape. Gerald's Game leads to narratively and emotionally satisfying conclusions, with Flanagan's melancholy-suffused horror that surges into quiet triumph for its haunted characters.
38) Icarus
Bryan Fogel's influential documentary explores the dark side of sports doping. It sees Fogel plan to enter a cycling race after taking banned substances in a way that will avoid detection, all to highlight the insufficiencies in sports drug testing. But things take a turn when Russian scientist Grigory Rodchenkov exposes a state-sponsored Olympic doping program that he oversees. Icarus is as gripping as it sounds, even if you're not a cycling aficionado.
39) The Incredible Jessica James
The Incredible Jessica James introduces a delightfully self-possessed main character played by an equally delightful Jessica Williams. The confident and independent Jessica James goes on a blind date where she ends up talking about nothing but her ex. A fresh take on the breakup movie with an empowering lead, this is an easy hit for an entertaining night in.
