Netflix top 10 movies — here’s the 3 worth watching right now (October 17-18)

As Halloween approaches, the streaming giant Netflix has once again delivered a diverse lineup of movies to its subscribers. However, not all titles in the Netflix Top 10 are worth your time. This weekend, three movies stand out as must-watch picks from the Netflix Top 10 list.

The first recommendation is Tyler Perry's latest drama, "Doing Life." With his fans anticipating his work, this film featuring Naomi Baker and Jay Reeves has proven to be a crowd-pleaser. As a single mother and correctional officer, Anika reconnects with a reformed ex-con, leading to a messy and emotionally charged storyline. While it may not be a critical darling, Perry's track record on Netflix guarantees an enjoyable viewing experience.

Next up is the crime thriller "Animals," directed and starring Ben Affleck. This gripping kidnapping story revolves around a Los Angeles mayoral candidate whose political career and marriage are struggling. When their son is abducted, they must find a way to pay the ransom to save him. With a star-studded cast including Kerry Washington, Steven Yeun, and Gillian Anderson, "Animals" provides an easy-to-digest, popcorn-worthy watch for a lazy afternoon.

Finally, "Sacrifice" offers a dark comedy thriller that delves into celebrity culture. Starring Chris Evans, Anya Taylor-Joy, Vincent Cassel, John Malkovich, and Salma Hayek, this film follows movie star Mike Tyler as he struggles to regain his reputation after a public meltdown. When a group of Doomsday cult members take hostages at a charity event, Mike finds himself in over his head as he discovers a connection with the cult leader, Anya Taylor-Joy. Despite the film's uneven execution, there are enough humorous moments to keep viewers entertained.

So, if you're looking for something to watch this weekend, consider these top picks from Netflix's Top 10 list: "Doing Life," "Animals," and "Sacrifice." Enjoy!
