Disney+ is the perfect streaming service this weekend for those who want to get ready for the return of one of the best TV shows on streaming. On last weekend's Disney+ movie recommendations, I went over why subscribers should give a chance to movies like the animated Monsters, Inc., X-Men, and Avatar: Fire and Ash, three hits of different genres. At the time of writing, the only movie among those recommendations to be trending on Disney+ in the United States is Monsters, Inc., which gave birth to one of the best animated franchises of all time. For this weekend's new recommendations, I chose not to pick another animated entry, so for those looking for a release from the medium, Monsters, Inc. still ranks #8 nationwide. The idea behind the list this weekend was to go for timely releases that Disney+ subscribers could watch and help get them ready for exciting new movies and TV shows on the horizon. With that in mind, I decided to once again feature a superhero film, and this time it is one of the biggest movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to prepare for Avengers: Doomsday. Besides that Marvel release, those looking for movies to watch on Disney+ this weekend will find good options in one of the most popular Christmas classics of all time, if not the one at the very top of the list, as well as a fantasy epic that is based on a bestselling book and that has been adapted twice, though with different results. These are the best movies on Disney+ this weekend: 3 Home Alone (1990) If you have not yet watched Home Alone, then do yourself a favor and allow yourself to be entertained by one of the true gifts the cinematic medium has given viewers over the years. Even for those who have already watched the classic comedy, with the Christmas season about to start, now is as good a time as any to rewatch the film and have fun with Macaulay Culkin's energetic performance. Scratch & Peek Identify the cover art while scratching off as little foil as possible. The story is simple, as Culkin's Kevin McCallister is left behind when his family forgets him as they go on a Christmas trip. Home Alone follows Kevin as he lays booby traps around his house to fend off two thieves who target the house that was supposed to be empty. Home Alone is funny, creative, and features perhaps the most memorable acting performance by a child star to date. 2 Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) Warning! This article contains SPOILERS for VisionQuest episode 8.Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is one of the MCU movies to best use the concept of the multiverse, with Benedict Cumberbatch's title character venturing into different universes to stop an out-of-control Scarlet Witch. After VisionQuest's post-credits scene brought Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff back to life, with Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom resurrecting her, this is the perfect weekend to rewatch the film ahead of Avengers: Doomsday's theatrical release on December 18. The Doctor Strange sequel is incredibly entertaining, filled with shocking moments, like the Scarlet Witch obliterating the multiversal Illuminati team, horror elements inserted by director Sam Raimi, including Wanda's pursuit of the heroes at the Sanctum Sanctorum, and creative sequences, with one of them being the "music" fight between two versions of Doctor Strange. Multiverse of Madness is a blast, and it features multiple characters and concepts that will be key to Avengers: Doomsday, introducing incursions in live-action. 1 Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) The final entry on the list is Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, the first of two fantasy adaptations of Rick Riordan's bestselling book franchise, starring Logan Lerman as Percy and Alexandra Daddario as Annabeth. With Disney+'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians series set to return with season 3 on November 20, this is the perfect time to watch the first adaptation of this epic story. After all, season 3 will adapt the third book in the franchise, The Titan's Curse, which Lerman and Daddario's movie franchise never got to adapt. While Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is not nearly as book-accurate as the first season of the Disney+ series, its lead trio is charismatic, with the romance between Annabeth and Percy being perfectly set up, and the film is easily better in the action department. Additionally, sequences like the Lotus Hotel and Casinohave become iconic, and so both fans of the books and the show should enjoy the fantasy movie on Disney+ before season 3.
