Award-winning Netflix movies to watch this weekend (August 7-9)

Netflix’s U.S. lineup gets a refresh this weekend with three award-winning picks, aimed at viewers who want something older than the latest weekly trends. The featured titles include Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, which follows the young Austrian archduchess sent to France to marry the future King Louis XVI and pushed into the tightly controlled world of Versailles. Another highlight is a quiz-style spotlight on Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma, explaining that the film is primarily spoken in Spanish and Mixtec and won three Academy Awards at the 2019 Oscars—Best Director, Best Cinematography, and Best Foreign Language Film. The article frames these choices as dependable, high-quality viewing.
