But most importantly, this week we get Killers of the Flower Moon, the Martin Scorsese epic about a series of murders in the Osage Nation, Oklahoma in the early 20th century. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, this is one of the biggest movies of the year, so it's a big deal that it's finally available to watch digitally.

Aside from that there are a couple of other major releases. A24's Showing Up is coming to Paramount Plus with Showtime, and it may be the last A24 movie coming to the streaming service after the production company's deal with Max. Psychological thriller Leave the World Behind and its star-studded cast are also arriving on Netflix this week.

Some of these titles are newly available via digital release, so you can purchase them for a premium price, but for others, all you need is the right streaming subscription. Here are the top new movies streaming this week. Plus, check out the new TV shows to watch from streamers this week and the best of what's new on Netflix.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, Killers of the Flower Moon is based on the true story of mysterious murders in the Osage Nation during the 1920s. Both actors are great in this movie, but the true star is Lily Gladstone, who plays Mollie Kyle, a member of the Osage Nation and Ernest Burkhart's (DiCaprio) wife. She puts in a star-making performance that shouldn't be missed.

The Persian Version is an absurd comedic drama about a large Iranian-American family with some very unique family members. The film largely focuses on Leila, played by Layla Mohammadi, who is constantly at odds with her mother. Oh, and she's a lesbian but gets pregnant after hooking up with a male actor.

As the family gathers together for the father's recovery from heart surgery, secrets come out, forcing an exploration of the family's past. There's a reason this comedy was praised at Sundance and you won't want to miss it.

Subject explores the subjects of documentaries, including The Staircase, Hoop Dreams and The Wolfpack. It's tough to get more meta than a documentary about the subjects of other documentaries, but Subject is more than just performance art or mere commentary. At its core, it's an insightful look into how documentaries impact their subjects and the ethical responsibility of documentary filmmakers.

Showing Up may be an older movie but its appearance on streaming services was delayed because, well, so was the movie. Despite debuting at Cannes in 2022, this A24 movie starring Michelle Williams as a sculptor and arts administrator only got its theatrical release this year. But that hasn't stopped it from receiving praise for both Williams and director Kelly Reichardt. If you have the premium version of Paramount Plus that includes Showtime, Showing Up is worth watching.

Leave the World Behind is a star-studded thriller. The movie features Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke as the Sandfords who are on vacation in Long Island. However, their vacation is quickly interrupted by the Scotts, played by Mahershala Ali and Myha'la, who inform the Sandfords that the place they are staying is actually their house.

But this thriller takes another turn when suddenly, a crisis strikes throwing not only the Sandford's vacation in jeopardy, but the entire world. Also starring Kevin Bacon, this Sam Esmail-directed thriller is a great option if you need a movie to watch this week.

Starring Yonas Kibreab as Damian Wayne (a.k.a Little Batman), David Hornsby as the Joker and Luke Wilson as the Dark Knight himself, this holiday special probably won't get talked about the way we talk about The Dark Knight or even Mask of the Phantasm. But it should give you a fun, family-friendly superhero movie with some laughs for parents and kids alike.

The Mission explores the death of John Chau, an American missionary who went to North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean. John was killed because North Sentinel Island is home to the Sentinelese one of the uncontacted tribes remaining in the world.

Did you enjoy The Holdovers? Well, what if it was a horror movie instead? The Sacrifice Game stars Mena Massoud, Olivia Scott Welch, and Gus Kenworthy and tells the horrific tale of a gang of killers invading a boarding school in 1971.

Will the students Samantha and Clara survive? You'll have to watch to find out. Spoiler alert: initial reviews have been pretty good, with the film currently getting a 100% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Starring Ben Kingsley as Milton, Jules is the story of what happens when a UFO crashes in your backyard. It's largely heartwarming and funny, with excellent performances from the cast that includes Jane Curtin, Harriet Sansom Harris, Zo Winters, Jade Quon (as Jules, the alien) and Andy Daly in addition to Kingsley. If you want a movie that will leave you feeling good, Jules is a great choice.

So that you don't have to spend hours searching through thousands of movies, some good, some bad and everything in-between, we've compiled a list of the best science-fiction movies and television shows currently on Netflix.

Synopsis: 13-year-old Adam Reed, still grieving the sudden death of his father a year earlier, walks into his garage one night to find a wounded pilot hiding there. This mysterious pilot turns out to be the older version of himself from the future, where time travel is in its infancy. He has risked everything to come back in time on a secret mission. Together they must embark on an adventure into the past to find their father, set things right, and save the world. Adding to the challenge of the mission, the two Adams discover they really don't like each other very much, and if they're going to save the world, they're first going to have to figure out how to get along.

Why you should watch: Ryan Reynolds leads an all-star cast in this family action drama that incorporates much of Reynold's dry wit. While not paying too much attention to the so-called "rules" of time travel, it brings drama and the complexities of human relationships into a spirited science fiction movie aimed at older kids and young adults. Joining Reynolds is an impressive line up, including Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, Zoe Saldana and Catherine Keener. Plus it's directed by Shawn Levy, who also gave us "Free Guy" and "Real Steel."

Synopsis: The story of the first moon landing in the summer of 1969 from two interwoven perspectives. It both captures the astronaut and mission control view of the triumphant moment, and the lesser-seen bottom up perspective of what it was like from an excited kid's perspective, living near NASA but mostly watching it on TV like hundreds of millions of others. It's ultimately both an exacting re-creation of this special moment in history and a kid's fantasy about being plucked from his average life in suburbia to secretly train for a covert mission to the moon.

Synopsis: An international fleet of naval warships encounters an alien armada while on a Naval war games exercise and faces the biggest threat mankind has ever faced. An intense battle is fought on sea, land and air. If they lose, the world could face a major extinction event and an alien invasion. Will humans win this alien war, what are the aliens doing here, and what do they want?

Why you should watch: The premise of this movie is mostly nonsense, but it's a well-made popcorn flick and as such, surprisingly enjoyable. The plot doesn't stretch the imagination and it's kept relatively simple, but the connection to the board game, on which this is very loosely based, is cleverly incorporated. The action is exciting, the accompanying rock ballads are well placed and thankfully it's not overloaded with cheese. A solid cast including Alexander Skarsgrd, Adam Godley and Rihanna, all deliver solid performances in fun, entertaining, military-themed sci-fi movie.

Why you should watch: This and "Maniac" are two of the best, little-known sci-fi thrillers on Netflix at the moment. An impressive cast, including Graham and also Kyle Soller you might know from "Andor," Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Amaka Okafor and Shira Haas. The penultimate conclusion, is such an incredibly thrilling almost-finale, that when the actual finale comes, it throws you in a totally different direction. This is a masterclass in time travel thrillers and hopefully there will be a second season, but even if there isn't, this is still very much a must-see.
