5 good movies to watch on Netflix this weekend: Matrix, The King and more

Looking for something to check out this weekend? Turn to Netflix, where you can watch The King, Matrix, and other great movies.

It’s the first of the month and that means there are plenty of great additions to the streamer. It can be a little overwhelming on Netflix this time of the month, so you need help picking out the best movies. Check out Matrix, The King, and these great movies this weekend.

5. Drive

This Hindi-language movie is finally on Netflix after a couple of pushed dates, and you’ll certainly want to check it out. It follows a manhunt for an infamous “King” after a robbery of 300kg of gold. An agent goes undercover to infiltrate a street gang after the King.

4. Grease

I know you’ve got “Grease is the word” stuck in your head right now. This is a must for all those who need a bit of nostalgia in their life this weekend. It’s also great for those who need a bit of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. Both are outstanding in their roles as Danny and Sandy. Put Grease on and sing along.

3. The Man Without Gravity

It’s time for another foreign language Netflix film. This time, it’s all about the Italian movie The Man Without Gravity. This is a beautiful story of a man who defies gravity and has to live in seclusion because of it. All he wants is a connection to someone, but can he find it?

2. Matrix

Yes, this had to make it to the list. In a way, you get three movies in one. All three Matrix movies are now on Netflix. However, if you only have time for one, then it’s definitely the beginning where you need to start. Even though the last movie is a little over-the-top crazy, it’s certainly worth watching the whole trilogy once more.

1. The King

You’ve heard of King Henry V of England. You may have even seen the Shakespearean plays, or at least read them. Now it’s time to see a new version of the story. The King focuses on a young Prince Hal, who is destined for a throne he doesn’t want. After his father’s death, he becomes King Henry V and his life changes forever.
