Happy Fourth of July Weekend! July 3rd is finally upon us and you know what that means: time to break out the sparklers and popcorn because Hamilton is available on Disney+! We have been waiting for this movie to come out since the show first took the Broadway stage, so it is only fitting that we kick this patriotic weekend off with a movie about America. But after that, you may be interested in some other movies to stream this weekend. Well, that’s where we step in: to help you figure out what to watch this weekend from the list of available movies on demand. And whether you use Amazon Video, iTunes, Vudu or your cable’s on demand service, there are a lot of great new movies out there waiting for you to discover.
We are going to be honest, the list of movies available to watch this weekend is not anything crazy, but you should be spending this weekend celebrating with your friends and family after all! But for when you are inside looking to cool off and nurse that sunburn, you should check out the inspiring documentary about activist and politician John Lewis in Good Trouble. Or, if you are in the mood for an action flick, then be sure to check out Force of Nature, Mr. Jones or the amazing war film The Outpost that is based on a true story!
Curious about the best movies to watch right now? Check out the great comedies, documentaries and action films you can buy or rent this week.
John Lewis: Good Trouble
John Lewis: Good Trouble is an inspiring documentary that sets a long-deserved spotlight on John Lewis: House Representative and civil rights leader. Through interviews with Lewis, his family and political leaders; plus rare archival footage, this moving piece follows Lewis’ 60-plus years serving the people of America through social action and legislative action on gun control, civil rights, health care reform and much more. Porter also reflects on his life and recalls his fateful meeting with Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1957.

Starring Orlando Bloom and Scott Eastwood, The Outpost is a true testament to American valor on this most patriotic weekend.

A Cinderella Story
Well on a slightly lighter note, A Cinderella Story is available to rent this weekend! This modern take on the classic Disney tale stars Hillary Duff as Sam, a teenage girl living under the thumb of her plastic-surgery-happy stepmother (Jennifer Coolidge in a hysterical role) and two wannabe stepsisters. And then add on the fact that she is the laughingstock of high school as a worker at her late father’s diner and you’ve got one repressed kid. But Sam doesn’t let that keep her spirits down because she has a cyber-relationship with Nomad, a complete stranger…or is he? Also starring Chad Michael Murray as the hunky-yet-intelligent high school quarterback, A Cinderella Story still slaps today as a stand-up romantic comedy.
