Horror is ruling the box office right now, with Obsession and A24's Backrooms topping domestic charts, even outperforming Pedro Pascal's The Mandalorian & Grogu. But if you'd rather skip the scares and stay in, Netflix has a stellar trio of movies arriving just in time for the weekend of June 5. From a gripping war thriller to an Oscar-winning foreign film and a brand-new romantic comedy, here's what to stream.
1. 'Anthropoid' (2016)
Before Cillian Murphy hung up his flat cap in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man and before he joins A Quiet Place Part III, check out this underrated WWII thriller now on Netflix. Anthropoid follows the real-life mission of two Czech soldiers tasked with assassinating SS General Reinhard Heydrich during World War II. Murphy stars alongside Jamie Dornan as the soldiers Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš, with a supporting cast that includes Charlotte Le Bon, Harry Lloyd, and Toby Jones. This slick, tense war thriller is packed with strong performances and offers a gripping historical drama that deserves far more attention. If you're a fan of flawless 21st-century thrillers, this one's a must-watch.
2. 'Another Round' (2020)
One of the best non-English language films of the century, Another Round is a Danish masterpiece from director Thomas Vinterberg. Mads Mikkelsen leads a group of teachers who test whether maintaining a constant blood-alcohol level can boost their performance—only to embark on a philosophical journey that changes their lives. The film is emotionally poignant and darkly comic, dissecting the perils of drinking without ever becoming preachy. It won the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film and holds a 93% Rotten Tomatoes score. Also starring Thomas Bo Larsen, Magnus Millang, and Lars Ranthe, this contemplative drama will stay with you long after the credits roll.

3. 'Office Romance' (2026)
No weekend list is complete without Netflix's newest arrival. Office Romance stars Jennifer Lopez as Jackie Cruz, a high-powered airline CEO whose strict no-fraternization policy is tested when a charming lawyer (played by Ted Lasso's Brett Goldstein) catches her eye. Directed by Ol Parker, who promised the film has "connection, charisma, compatibility, and chemistry" between the leads, this rom-com is an easy, smile-inducing watch. The stacked cast also includes Betty Gilpin, Amy Sedaris, Jodie Whittaker, Mary Wiseman, Tony Hale, and Bradley Whitford. It's the perfect lighthearted escape for your weekend.
