Not coincidentally, Netflix is home to many Adam Sandler movies, some of which you&#8217;ll find on this list. You&#8217;ll find many other types of movies too, like animated family sports comedy\u00a0GOAT, enigmatic crime drama In the Hand of Dante, and rom-com Office Romance. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is a list of the best movies to watch on Netflix right now.

They&#8217;re the only Black-owned ranch in the Los Angeles area, and they&#8217;re struggling financially. So when an alien creature attacks the ranch, they try to figure out a way to monetize it. Nope is a brilliant sci-fi\/horror film dealing with sophisticated themes of spectacle and exploitation. It&#8217;s also very funny in a way that sneaks up on you.

These lads have the classic Irish gift of gab, and the movie is sort of like a tall tale about three people who made something out of nothing through talent, attitude, and a little bit of luck. It&#8217;s heavily fictionalized, to be fair, but there&#8217;s an element of truth to most of it.

What makes it so effective is that it looks at adoption from every angle: the girls looking for answers and discovering their culture, their adoptive families looking to help them find their roots, the Chinese families who were forced to give up their babies under China&#8217;s one child policy, and the intrepid investigator who helps adopted children find their birth parents in China.

It&#8217;s called Homecoming because of the way it evokes traditions made popular by homecoming concerts at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and it&#8217;s maybe the most entertaining history lesson you&#8217;ll ever get.
