Another weekend at the box office has wrapped, and it's been a rough one for Disney's latest live-action remake, Moana. The Dwayne Johnson-led film stumbled out of the gate, echoing the disappointing debut of 2025's Snow White. If that's not your speed, don't worry—Netflix has you covered with a trio of fantastic movies to stream this week. Here are our top picks for July 13, 2026.
'Mile End Kicks' (2025)
Rotten Tomatoes: 86% | IMDb: 6.2/10
Kicking off our list is a hidden gem from the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival that quietly hit theaters earlier this year. Starring Euphoria's Barbie Ferreira, Mile End Kicks follows a 24-year-old music critic whose personal and professional lives collide after she moves to Montreal and becomes romantically involved with members of a band. Also featuring Devon Bostick and Stanley Simons, this thoughtful, funny, and emotionally intelligent coming-of-age tale comes from director Chandler Levack, who based the film on her own experiences as a young music critic. For an easy smile this week, Mile End Kicks is the perfect choice. If you're a fan of movies that nail both score and soundtrack, this one delivers on both fronts.
'Old Henry' (2021)
Rotten Tomatoes: 94% | IMDb: 7.3/10
If tender coming-of-age stories aren't your thing and you prefer something grittier, look no further than Old Henry, one of the most popular movies on Netflix right now. Directed by Potsy Ponciroli, this violent, moody Western stars Tim Blake Nelson as a middle-aged farmer whose quiet life with his son is upended when he helps an injured man carrying a satchel of cash. Soon, an interested party comes knocking. Nelson, a Critics' Choice nominee for HBO's Watchmen, delivers a standout performance in this classic, traditional Western that's perfect for genre fans. For those who enjoy a good Western, this is a must-watch—though you might want to catch it before Seth MacFarlane's Western flop A Million Ways to Die in the West exits Netflix later this month.
'Minions: The Rise of Gru' (2022)
Rotten Tomatoes: 70% | IMDb: 6.5/10
Right now, Minions & Monsters, the seventh entry in the Despicable Me franchise, is a box office hit. A perfect companion piece that's sure to keep the whole family entertained is Minions: The Rise of Gru, the second installment in the Minions prequel series and the fifth overall in the franchise. Set in the 1970s, the film follows a 12-year-old Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) as he dreams of becoming the world's greatest supervillain. Alongside his loyal Minions—Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto—Gru hatches a plan to join a supervillain supergroup known as the Vicious 6. Packed with '70s retro style and plenty of Minions chaos, this is sheer, hilarious fun for everyone. For more animated fun, check out our list of the best animated movies of 2026 so far.
