Airing between 1974 and 1983, few shows can illicit a sense of nostalgia quite like Little House on the Prairie. Based on the popular novel of the same name by Laura Ingalls Wilder, the show ran on NBC for almost a decade and aired over 200 episodes, becoming a household favorite of millions in the process. Taking viewers back to a simpler time in the American past, the show was a warm blanket of comfort for original viewers, and still holds up today as a way to turn back the clock and unwind.

Although Mortal Kombat IIsurprised many with its solid box office debut last weekend, it was unable to take the top spot from the fashionably late The Devil Wears Prada 2, as Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, and co. vogued their way to another huge haul. This weekend, will there be any change at the top of the charts? It seems unlikely, with perhaps the most eye-catching of arrivals coming in the form of a special 25th anniversary re-release for everyone's favorite Scottish ogre, Shrek. With that in mind, maybe staying in and streaming is your best bet. To help you decide what to watch, here's a look at three movies you should watch on Netflix.

This summer is stacked with great movies. From Tom Holland’s return to the web in Spider-Man: Brand New Dayto the fifth installment in the beloved Disney and Pixar franchise Toy Story, there is something for everyone. However, no more is more hotly anticipated — in spite of its divisive trailer — than The Odyssey. Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s classical epic is scheduled to hit theaters on July 17, 2026, earning over 23,000 tickets for IMAX 70mm screenings almost a year ago in an unprecedented early haul.

The long and violent saga of Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby came to an explosive end by the order of Netflix earlier this year, as Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, a sequel to the hit series Peaky Blinders, exploded onto global streaming and even in limited theaters. Earning 25.3 million views in its first three days of release, the movie became the most-watched title on Netflix in countless countries around the world, even holding strong into its second week with an impressive 19.4 million views.

From Vince Vaughn, James Marsden, and Eiza González's crime thriller with a time travel twist in Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, to the late February return of Paradise, the hit sci-fi series starring Sterling K. Brown, there have been plenty of exciting new and returning movies and shows on Hulu in 2026 thus far. On June 8, the British comedy-drama Alice and Steve, written by Sophie Goodhart and directed by Tom Kingsley, will make its hilarious splash on the streamer, and will be quickly followed by another must-see comedy just a week later.

On March 13, 2025, the streaming world was changed forever when the duo of Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham debuted their one-shot masterpiece, Adolescence. Quickly, the crime series became the most must-watch show on the planet, dominating streaming charts worldwide with its ambitious cinematography and terrifyingly vital subject matter. In fact, so important was this story that it even ushered in a political movement that went to the top of the British government, as parents, teachers, and children across the world were alerted to the very real rising violence towards young women.
