Netflix has hundreds of movies available to stream, and it can get a little overwhelming figuring out what to watch. That's why Insider rounds up a list of great films (and TV shows) to watch on Netflix each weekend.
Horror fans should stream "The Autopsy of Jane Doe," a terrifying film with plenty of twists and turns, as well as "Zombieland," a surprisingly funny zombie film starring Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg, and Woody Harrelson.
The start of a new month means that plenty of new titles will be available to stream, including Netflix original "The King," which stars Timothée Chalamet and Robert Pattinson.
Here are seven great movies you can watch on Netflix this weekend.
"The King" is a Netflix original film.

Timothée Chalamet and Robert Pattinson star in "The King," which tells the story of a medieval prince and his quest to rule England. "Game of Thrones" fans should definitely watch this Netflix original, as there's plenty of intrigue, scheming, and intense violence much like the show.
Classic horror film "Rosemary's Baby" is available to stream right now.
Description: "A young couple moves in to an apartment only to be surrounded by peculiar neighbors and occurrences. When the wife becomes mysteriously pregnant, paranoia over the safety of her unborn child begins to control her life."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 97% (certified fresh)

"Rosemary's Baby" is a classic horror film for a reason: Its spooky premise, coupled with a great performance by Mia Farrow, makes it a must-watch this Halloween. Plus, the 60s aesthetic is great inspiration for next Halloween's costume.
"Step Brothers" is a silly but ultimately entertaining comedy.
Description: "Two aimless middle-aged losers still living at home are forced against their will to become roommates when their parents marry."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 55%
Audience score: 69%
"Step Brothers" definitely isn't for anyone who isn't a fan of raunchy, lowbrow humor. But those who are entertained by Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly's antics should definitely check it out — there's instantly-quotable dialogue, and a surprisingly moving finale for a comedy.
Iconic sci-fi thriller "The Matrix" took Keanu Reeves' career to a new level.
Description: "A computer hacker learns from mysterious rebels about the true nature of his reality and his role in the war against its controllers."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 88% (certified fresh)
Audience score: 85%
With a creative premise and special effects that still hold up nearly 20 years later, "The Matrix" is undoubtedly one of the best sci-fi films of all time. Keanu Reeves gives a skillful performance as computer hacker Neo, and the action scenes are pretty amazing to watch. Plus, the fourth "Matrix" film is set to begin production shortly— so best to brush up on the franchise now.
"Zombieland" is a surprisingly funny zombie apocalypse film.
Description: "A shy student trying to reach his family in Ohio, a gun-toting tough guy trying to find the last Twinkie, and a pair of sisters trying to get to an amusement park join forces to travel across a zombie-filled America."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 90% (certified fresh)
Audience score: 86%
"Zombieland" is a fresh take on traditional zombie films — and includes memorable performances by Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Woody Harrelson. While the film's gore can get a bit overwhelming, it's still worth a watch, especially if you're looking for a refreshing horror film.
Eddie Murphy stars in "Dolemite Is My Name."
Netflix description: "In 1970s LA, struggling comedian Rudy Ray Moore hits it big with his raunchy alter ego, Dolemite, then risks it all to take his act to the big screen."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 97% (certified fresh)

Based on a true story, "Dolemite Is My Name" focuses on a rising comedian as he struggles to find his place in the industry. As the title character, Eddie Murphy does an excellent job blending humor and genuine emotion in his performance, and the film's sense of humor is downright infectious.
"The Autopsy of Jane Doe" is a chilling and terrifying film about a dead woman.
Netflix description: "A father-son team of small-town coroners performs an autopsy on an unidentified woman with mysterious injuries and a terrifying secret."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 86% (certified fresh)
Audience score: 70%
A simple autopsy is the focus of this horror film, but it's far from a boring movie. With terrifying twists and plenty of gore throughout, "The Autopsy of Jane Doe" is a chilling exploration of life after death — and what happens to those left behind.
