The weekend is here — and weekends mean weekend movie nights.
For August 15-17, there are some underrated gems to watch on Netflix — whether you like slapstick comedy, more nuanced dramedy or documentary, you’ll find something to enjoy on this list.
As an added bonus, all of this weekend’s picks tell stories of strong, unique women.
Watch With Us has picked out three movies on Netflix for you to show some love this weekend — check them out below.
‘Pamela: A Love Story’ (2023)
If you’re loving Pamela Anderson’s comeback in films like The Last Showgirl and The Naked Gun, this is your chance to learn about her rise to stardom — and about the incidents that drove her out of the spotlight for so long.
In her own words, Anderson uses this documentary to tell her story, giving context to her status as a sex symbol and the objectification she experienced after her time on Baywatch and throughout her marriage to Tommy Lee. It’s a moving, well-crafted documentary that made us admire Anderson even more than we already did.
What to Watch This Weekend: 10 New Movies on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, and Hulu
‘Superstar’ (1999)
Molly Shannon and Will Ferrell star in this hilarious movie based on Shannon’s beloved Saturday Night Live character Mary Katherine Gallagher. Mary Katherine is a Catholic school student who dreams of two things — having her first kiss with popular student Sky Corrigan (Ferrell) and becoming a superstar.
When her school hosts a talent competition, her chances for superstardom seem within reach — but first she’ll have to overcome the fact that she’s a total weirdo. Hilarious, irreverent and surprisingly sweet, Superstar is a ridiculous showcase for Shannon’s unique comedic talent.
‘Otherhood’ (2019)
Sex and the City writer Cindy Chupack penned this sweet movie, which follows three moms of adult sons who are tired of being neglected on Mother’s Day. Carol, Gillian and Helen (Angela Bassett, Patricia Arquette and Felicity Huffman, respectively) are best friends whose sons have all moved to New York City.
