Nothing to do this weekend except scroll through Netflix's wide selection of movies for hours on end?
We're here to help. Every week, we look through what's available on the streaming service and recommend seven movies you can watch over the weekend.
Some of our selections recently came to Netflix, and some have been available for while — you probably just missed them.
From the animated classic "The Prince of Egypt" to lush 90s drama "Interview with the Vampire," these are some awesome movies on Netflix you can watch this weekend.
Here are seven movies on Netflix you should check out (along with their scores from Rotten Tomatoes).
Note: Not all of these films are available in countries outside the United States. Sorry!
"Get Smart" (2008)Warner BrosNetflix description: When the identities of secret agents are compromised, hapless Maxwell Smart teams with far more capable Agent 99 to thwart an evil terrorist group.
Critic score: 50%
Audience score: 67%
"Get Smart" got a lost in the massive summer movie collection, and mostly because it relied on Steve Carell to carry the entire movie. But the thing is that Carell can carry a comedy like this, so it's still pretty good, and features some fun performances from Anne Hathaway, Terry Crews, and a very funny Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
"The Prince of Egypt" (1998)Dreamworks
Netflix description: Born into slavery but raised as the son of a pharaoh, Moses accepts his destiny: to lead the Hebrews out of slavery and into freedom.
Critic score: 79%
Audience score: 76%
It's unfortunate that this beautifully animated film with catchy songs was white-washed by Hollywood. But it's still such a great movie that the whole family can watch and will definitely enjoy.
"Can't Buy Me Love" (1987)Buena Vista Pictures
Netflix description: Tired of being an outcast, a nerdy teen offers his life savings of $1,000 to the most popular girl in school in exchange for dating him for a month.
Critic score: 50%
Audience score: 74%
This 80s comedy with a very outdated premise is brought to life by the always and forever charming Patrick Dempsey.
"Interview with the Vampire" (1994)Columbia
Netflix description: The lives of a trio of vampires are interconnected for centuries in this tale that explores betrayal, love, loneliness and hunger.
Critic score: 62%
Audience score: 86%
"Interview with the Vampire" is a perfect weekend watch. It's campy, but not stupid, stars Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, and a young Kirsten Dunst, and unlike some very popular vampire movies, has a great story and gorgeous production design.
"The Wackness" (2008)Sony Pictures Classics
Netflix description: In the midst of a midlife crisis, a psychiatrist forms a relationship with a teenage drug dealer, who trades his product for therapy sessions.
Critic score: 70%
Audience score: 72%
This coming-of-age comedy helped Josh Peck of Nickelodeon's "Drake and Josh" prove that he had some acting skills beyond what he did on the children's program. This charming movie (which also stars Mary-Kate Olsen) show that familiar stories such as this one become special with a clever script and impeccable casting.
