The weekend is almost here, and if you’re like us, you’re already plotting out your ideal couch-and-popcorn lineup.
Netflix’s October 2025 catalog is packed with new releases, but there are also plenty of hidden gems worth rediscovering — the kind of movies that didn’t get enough love when they first came out but have aged surprisingly well.
Whether you’re in the mood for a heartwarming surfing drama, a deeply emotional family story or a clever horror-comedy with a big heart, the Watch With Us team has you covered.
Here are three underrated movies worth streaming this weekend.
Anne Marie Chadwick (Kate Bosworth) was on track to become one of surfing’s greats — until a dangerous wipeout left her terrified of getting injured again. But with the help of her friends (Michelle Rodriguez and Sanoe Lake) and her new football-player boyfriend (Matthew Davis), she learns to conquer her fear and make a comeback — all while raising her little sister Penny (Mika Boorem). With its Hawaii setting, action-packed surfing scenes and message about getting back up after hardship, Blue Crush stands out as a lovable early aughts gem.
It’s a movie that radiates confidence and summer nostalgia, with a killer soundtrack full of surf jams. It’s perfect for an easy weekend watch when you need a boost of motivation — or just a little sunshine on screen.
What does it mean when a linguist starts forgetting words? In Still Alice, Julianne Moore plays Dr. Alice Howland, a linguistics professor whose small bouts of forgetfulness lead to her being diagnosed with early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease. While her three children (Kate Bosworth, Hunter Parrish and Kristen Stewart) rally around her, Alice’s husband John (Alec Baldwin) struggles with watching her deteriorate. Moore gives a magnificent performance in this examination of a devastating disease and the moments of grace and love that help us get through hardship.
Poignant and deeply humane, Still Alice captures the pain of loss while celebrating the beauty of holding on — even when everything feels like it’s slipping away. Watch this one if you want to curl up with a blanket and a box of tissues.
The Halloween season is upon us again, and that means horror movies are everywhere in the streaming-verse. There are plenty of films that you’re better off watching with the lights on. But horror movies that make you laugh aren’t as common as you might believe. Fortunately, the Watch With Us team has already put together […]
Equal parts funny and freaky, Little Evil is a clever riff on step-parenthood and horror clichés that will keep you laughing even as it sends a few chills down your spine. Check this one out if you’re ready to lean into Halloween fun, but without too big a scare.
