Each week, INSIDER selects new and old flicks you may not have realized are on the streaming service to ease your scrolling woes.From the hyped Fyre Fest documentary to "American Gangster," here are seven movies on the streaming service you should watch over the holiday weekend (along with theirRotten Tomatoesscores when available).Note: Not all of these films are available in countries outside the United States.1. "Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened"Netflix description:"The Fyre Festival was billed as a luxury music experience on a posh private island, but it failed spectacularly in the hands of a cocky entrepreneur."One of two competing Fyre Festival documentaries released this week (the other is from Hulu), Netflix's doc shares how Fyre Media sold, in the words of founder and CEO Billy McFarland, "a pipe dream to your average loser."The documentary showcases how Kendall Jenner was paid $250,000 for one Instagram post to promote the festival and how Fyre Media asked attendees to load money on wristbands as they were running out of cash in the weeks leading up to the disastrous festival that left guests stranded. This is the most talked about film coming to Netflix this week. If you don't watch it, you'll certainly be reading about it.You can watch the trailer here.2. "IO"Netflix description: "As a young scientist searches for a way to save a dying Earth, she finds a connection with a man who's racing to catch the last shuttle off the planet."The majority of the movie revolves around Sam (Margaret Qualley) and a traveler named Micah, played by Anthony Mackie, who you probably know as Falcon from "Captain America: Civil War" and "Avengers: Infinity War."The 90-minute movie kind of reminds us of some mix of "The 100" and "The Martian," if you were looking at the perspective of those who never left the planet. If you're concerned about climate change and global warming, "IO" is an introspective look at one woman's love letter to Earth and finding a way to save it.You can watch a trailer here.3. "American Gangster"Netflix description:"An outcast New York City cop is charged with bringing down Harlem drug lord Frank Lucas, whose real life inspired this partly biographical film.Critic score: 80%Audience score: 87%The Denzel Washington film was just added to Netflix this week. Despite no Oscar wins, the crime thriller is often considered one of the best films of 2007. If you've never seen it, watch it for its stellar cast, which also includes a lot of big names in Hollywood right now, from Josh Brolin and Idris Elba to Chiwetel Ejiofor. Norman Reedus is also in the movie for any "Walking Dead" fans.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
