Of all the streaming catalogues, Netflix can be one of the easiest to get lost in. There are so many different categories, but oftentimes, those categories can overlap too, meaning you\u2019re getting the same few films recommended over and over again.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, we\u2019re going to avoid that here. Yes, this week we are recommending a movie that\u2019s definitely been served up to you a few times, but hopefully we\u2019re also steering you toward movies you may not have noticed, too.<\/p>\n

Here are the three best movies to watch on Netflix this week.<\/p>\n

\"Zoey(Netflix)<\/p>\n

Voicemails for Isabelle<\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s been out for a few weeks now, and if you haven\u2019t caved and watched \u201cVoicemails for Isabelle\u201d yet, you probably should.<\/p>\n

Starring Zoey Deutch and Nick Robinson, the story centers on Jill (Deutch), an aspiring chef who loses her younger sister far too early in life. The two were inseparable, even living several states away, always talking on the phone. When Isabelle (Ciara Bravo) dies, Jill continues to call her sister\u2019s number, and just leaves voicemails for her.<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to Jill though, the number has been reassigned to Wes (Robinson), who quickly falls for Jill just based on those voicemails. He has no idea they\u2019re for her deceased sister \u2014 at first \u2014 he just thinks they\u2019re goofy little things left for a wrong number.<\/p>\n

Eventually the two come together, and yes, the secret comes out. It\u2019s not your typical rom-com, but it will scratch the itch for you in a big way. It\u2019s definitely one of Netflix\u2019s better original outings in recent years.<\/p>\n

\"\"(Netflix)<\/p>\n

Wine Country <\/p>\n

To be transparent, \u201cWine Counry\u201d is a pretty middling film. It\u2019s directed by Amy Poehler, and stars her alongside most of her \u201cSNL\u201d friends, and as you watch it, you distinctly get the feeling that this movie exists purely because those women said, \u201cWe want to go have fun together in wine country.\u201d And honestly, you kind of have to respect that.<\/p>\n

The actual story follows a group of friends who head to wine country to celebrate one of their own\u2019s 50th birthday. Each woman is quietly dealing with something in their personal life, meaning they start butting heads pretty quickly. As with any movie like this, things fall apart, but eventually, it all works out.<\/p>\n

Really, must a movie be \u201ccinema\u201d to be enjoyed? This is the one to watch if you want something easy during girls night.<\/p>\n

\""A(Columbia Pictures)<\/p>\n

A League of Their Own<\/p>\n

It\u2019s baseball season, and there\u2019s a new \u201cToy Story\u201d in theaters, and funny enough, those two things do connect. They intersect at Tom Hanks in \u201cA League of Their Own.\u201d As a cherry on top, the Women\u2019s Pro Baseball League revealed the official details of its first four teams this week.<\/p>\n

What is there to say about \u201cA League of Their Own\u201d? It\u2019s just a classic. It centers on the creation of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (a very real league, albeit a fictionalized story), and stars the likes of Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O\u2019Donnell, Madonna and others.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s arguably the perfect summer movie, and that\u2019s what I have to say on that.<\/p>\n
