With another weekend approaching, and a particularly snowy forecast across much of the United States, it's the perfect time to dive into the best streaming services and find something to watch. Netflix's top 10 list of most-watched movies is a great place to start, and this week, I've uncovered three gems that are definitely worth your time. These films range from an intense thriller-action movie to a feel-good romantic comedy and a family-friendly adventure, ensuring there's something for everyone, regardless of the weather or your mood.
The Rip (2026)
Starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, 'The Rip' is a gripping crime thriller that has taken the top spot on Netflix's top 10 list for a second week. The film follows Lieutenant Dane Dumars (Damon) and his second-in-command, Sergeant JD Byrne (Affleck), as they stumble upon a cache of millions in a derelict house during a routine bust. However, their windfall soon becomes a complication as word spreads, leading to a tense and thrilling plot. With an impressive 81% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 123 reviews, 'The Rip' is a must-watch for fans of intense, beard-filled crime dramas.
People We Meet on Vacation (2026)
Based on the popular 2021 novel by Emily Henry, 'People We Meet on Vacation' is a heartwarming romantic comedy that has quickly become the second-most-popular movie on Netflix. The film follows Poppy (Emily Bader) and Alex (Tom Blyth) as they awkwardly reunite in Barcelona, leading to a series of romantic events. With a strong 75% positive review from 64 critics, this movie is perfect for those seeking a feel-good watch, especially during a winter storm when you might need a mood booster.
The Bad Guys (2022)
'The Bad Guys' is a family-friendly action-comedy that has captured the hearts of both young and old audiences. The film features smooth voice acting and a plot that will keep you and your family engaged. It's a refreshing change from the typical horror genre that Dave LeClair, the Senior News Editor for Tom's Guide, usually covers. His 9-year-old step-son, who enjoys watching movies, was so taken with 'The Bad Guys' that it inspired him to read the children's book series by Aaron Blabey. This movie is an excellent choice for a family movie night during a snowy weekend, offering something for everyone to enjoy.
If none of these movies spark your interest, don't worry! Tom's Guide has a comprehensive guide to everything new on Netflix this month, packed with additional recommendations to suit all tastes. So, whether you're in the mood for a thriller, a romantic comedy, or a family-friendly adventure, there's something for everyone on Netflix this weekend.
