Lucky for you, we have just the solution: an Independence Day marathon of all the best movies and shows to help you celebrate the Stars and Stripes. That’s right — we’ve taken the liberty of listing out 10 films and series on Netflix that we have deemed essential viewing for this Fourth of July.

It's time to go over our list of the best new movies and TV shows to watch this weekend, which includes some of 2025's most unmissable titles. Now that summer is fully here and we know what happens at the end of Squid Game, we can move on to the next streaming chapter and find the perfect watch to fight off the heat.

Check out Netflix originals like "Happy Gilmore 2" and "The Old Guard 2," as well as classics like "White Chicks" and "The Notebook."
