Marriage Story is now available to stream on Netflix. Here it is and more on our list of recommendations for good movies on Netflix this weekend.

Looking for something good to watch this weekend? Netflix certainly has you covered. Whether you want an emotional drama, Christmas movies, or action, there are some excellent choices this weekend. Here are five good movies to watch on Netflix this weekend, including Marriage Story, A Christmas Prince 3 and much more.

5. From Paris With Love

Let’s start with the third-party action movie, From Paris With Love. When there’s the threat of a terrorist attack in Paris, two unlikely allies must come together to prevent it. An American spy and a US Ambassador office employee will join forces to prevent the attack.

With John Travolta and Jonathan Rees Myers in the lead roles, it’s a bit of fun to put on while you’re getting weekend tasks done. Don’t judge! I watch a lot in the background when doing the washing up and cooking! You can watch from Dec. 8.

4. Let’s Dance

There are plenty of dance movies out there. Most of the time they follow the same patterns and cliches. Don’t expect Let’s Dance to change that, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t entertaining. This French dance-off flick is perfect for fans of Step Up and Honey.

3. A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish

It’s time for the fifth story in the Cinderella Story franchise. This time, an aspiring singer finds her path blocked by her wicked stepmother and two stepsisters. She’s determined not to let them stop her, so starts working a job that could possibly give her the step up she needs. Instead, she finds a handsome new Santa to fall in love with.

This is the perfect Christmas movie for fans of the previous movies. It’s also a great option to put on with the entire family.

2. A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby

A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby is a must. Released on Dec. 5, it’s the third installment in the Christmas Prince franchise. iZombie fans will want to check it out to see Rose McIver keeping one personality for three movies in a row. Can she manage it?

This third movie does involve the baby’s birth, but the main focus is on a missing treaty. If the two ruling monarchs of the two lands done sign, the 600-year-old treaty is over and there’s a curse that will fall on Amber and Richard’s baby. Uh oh!

1. Marriage Story

Finally, it’s all about Marriage Story. Adam Driver and Scarlet Johansson impress in this story of a marriage falling apart as the family tries to stay together. It’s a divorce that crosses the coasts, as two people try to focus on their careers and make this marriage breakdown as less invasive as possible.

Can divorce ever be amicable? That’s something Marriage Story isn’t afraid to answer.
