If you need something good to queue up alongside a bowl of chips and a dirty soda (which is what the kids are drinking these days,) this list of the three best new movies on Netflix is designed to help you narrow down the latest and greatest the streamer has to offer.
Netflix adds new movies every week, and for this list, we've picked out three top films that hit the streamer earlier in the week. We've got some horror, some whimsy, and some Benicio-Del-Toro-looking-cool-while-holding-a-gun (which is a personal favorite genre of mine).

3 new to Netflix movies to stream this weekend
Misery
Misery (1990) - Official Trailer - YouTube
Watch On
Available: US/UK
You know the story: Famous author gets in car crash, obsessed fan of said author just so happens to rescue him from the wreckage... and keep him prisoner in her home in the middle of nowhere until he promises to change the ending of his upcoming novel. James Caan plays Paul Sheldon, author of the internationally best-selling Misery thriller series, with Kathy Bates as former nurse and current weirdo Annie Wilkes. Directed by the late great Rob Reiner, the film is not only considered one of the best Stephen King movies of all time... but it's the only Stephen King movie to win an Oscar (despite The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile receiving countless nominations).
This is one of the rare scenarios where I recommend watching the movie before reading book, mainly because of a certain scene that changed in the film to avoid an NC-17 rating... but ended up being so much worse (in my opinion, anyway).
Watch Misery.

The House with a Clock in Its Walls - Official Trailer 1 - YouTube
Watch On
Available: US/UK
We could all use a little bit of whimsy at the moment, and that's exactly what The House with a Clock in Its Walls has to offer. Based on the 1973 Young Adult novel of the same name, the family-friendly fantasy pic follows a young recently-orphaned boy named Lewis (Owen Vacarro), who is sent to live with his strange warlock uncle, Jonathan (Jack Black), in a slightly spooky old house which he soon learns used to belong to an evil warlock named Isaac Izard (Kyle MacLachlan) and his wife Serena (Renee Elise Goldsberry).
The film was a modest box office hit, but most importantly, it joins movies like Monster House, Nanny McPhee, and The PageMaster in the category of "Forgotten whimsical children's movies that still hold up no matter how old you get.

Sicario
Sicario TRAILER 1 (2015) - Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro Movie HD - YouTube
Watch On
Available: US/UK
Before Taylor Sheridan created the multi-million dollar Yellowstone universe, he made his screenwriting debut with Denis Villeneuve's Sicario. Emily Blunt stars as an FBI special agent who is tasked with bringing down the sadistic leader of a Mexican drug cartel (Julio Cesar Cedillo). She's joined by a former Mexican prosecutor (and now assassin) named Alejandro (Benicio del Toro) and a CIA SAC/SOG officer named Matt (Josh Brolin).
The film, which is the first of what's supposed to be a trilogy (though we're still waiting on film no. 3 to enter into production), received three Academy Award nominations and has a pretty impressive 91% on Rotten Tomatoes... so what are you waiting for?
Watch Sicario.
