The year is almost over, and you’re probably in need of a break before you dive into the madness of the new year. If you’re looking for a mini-streaming vacation, we can help. Sunday marks not only the start of a whole new year but a new month, which means your favorite streaming services, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, Showtime, and STARZ, have added a ton of new titles.

If you’re a movie lover, you’re going to be a big fan of this week’s offerings. From Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and Steven Spielberg’s E.T. to the Coen brothers’ The Big Lebowski and M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense, this is a great weekend for really stellar movies. In the mood for something a bit more light-hearted but still incredible? Mad Max: Fury Road is coming to HBO, and Iron Man is heading to Hulu. No matter what you’re in the mood to stream, you’re covered this weekend. Most of the big titles land on your favorite streaming services Sunday, January 1, but there are still some great things to stream this Friday and Saturday.

Every Brilliant Thing (2016)

In this adaptation from the hit Broadway play of the same name, this one man-show stars British comedian Jonny Donahoe. Every Brilliant Thing recounts a life lived in the shadow of suicide, balancing sobering moments with laughter. If you’re in the mood for something more artistic this weekend, this is a good bet.

My Cousin Vinny (1992)

Is there a more delightful onscreen relationship than Marisa Tomei and Joe Pesci’s in this courtroom comedy? When two Northern boys get arrested for murder in Alabama, it’s up to the most incompetent lawyer in the world to help them out. It’s a classic tale of worlds colliding, perfect for a weekend watch.
