My picks for the three best movies to watch in Netflix’s top 10 right now, including one of the best "Spider-Man" movies.

Netflix top 10 movies — here’s the only 3 I'm considering watching this weekend (August 1-2)

As the drizzle continues, I find myself seeking refuge from the heat inside, scrolling through Netflix's Top 10 movies to find a watchable distraction. Among the offerings, three flicks have caught my eye this weekend (August 1-2). First up is "Spider-Man: Homecoming," starring Tom Holland as the web-slinging hero. Holland brings fresh energy to the role since his predecessor Andrew Garfield, this time focusing on a high school adventure rather than tragic backstories.

Peter Parker navigates his dual life of superheroics and school, aided by the return of beloved character Tony Stark. Next, I'm intrigued by "A Quiet Place: Day One," a prequel to the acclaimed horror series. Starred in the film is Lupita Nyong'o as Samira, a cancer patient facing an impending apocalypse. Nurse Reuben (Alex Wolff) convinces her to venture into the city despite the dangers, leading to a terrifying and haunting experience.

Finally, "Ordinary Angels" offers an uplifting tale based on a true story. The film follows a Kentucky community coming together to support a young girl in need of a life-saving transplant, set against the backdrop of a devastating snowstorm. With these three recommendations, I believe you'll have a great weekend of watching on Netflix.
