Three movies to stream on Netflix on the first day of February

Some films you love on Netflix will be leaving at the end of January, of course, but there is always great news with the turn of the month. New arrivals appear and you should be excited about a bunch of them. February 1, for instance, will not disappoint you.

The following three films could give you something to watch on the first day of the new month. Each film is a bit different than the next. You can laugh, scream, and well...maybe, cry.

Sure, you have a relatively unlimited amount of time to watch all of these flicks, but take the day off. It's a Saturday anyway. Just sit back and chill and binge-watch these three movies coming to Netflix.

3 movies you will want to stream on Day One of February on Netflix

It (2017)

The theatrical remake of a film that originally was a mini-series in 1990 and based on the Stephen King book was pure magic. It was also shockingly popular. The story of a demonic clown who steals children certainly appeared to resonate with many viewers.

Bill Skarsgård is fantastic as Pennywise, and the rest of the cast features actors such as Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things). This movie never set out to win a bunch of Oscars. It was designed to scare you and be highly entertaining. It succeeds greatly at both of those.

Two Weeks Notice (2002)

On the opposite end of the film spectrum is this winner with features Hugh Grant and Julia Bullock. Both still know how to do drama with a wry smile, but in 2002, they were both at the height of their powers for pure comedy. Some of the lines Grant delivers (even something as simple as "I find you... annoying."

The two leads also play well off of one another, understanding their roles perfectly. Lucy (Bullock) is George's (employee), but not his unequal. While the ending might not be anything close to reinventing the wheel, the rest of the movie is too funny and too full of feelings to be missed.

Parasite (2019)

A dark (and we do mean dark) comedy about class differences in South Korea, you might want to watch this film several times because once will not be enough. There is too much subtext and too much nuance that you will miss something the first time. This flick is not exactly like Everything Everywhere All at Once, but the sentimentalities are the same.

Plus, this one is just as worthy as that last film. This won Best Picture, too. You will never see anything else like it, and the flood scene will stick with you for decades.
