During this time of quarantine, people need entertainment to keep themselves from becoming bored. Self-isolation and staying at home for weeks on end can drive someone crazy. That's why a lot of people are turning to streaming services for content to fill their day. So here at TheMovieScoop.com, we have compiled all the best movies you can watch on Netflix right now or in the next couple of weeks. An April 2020 list. Read on for all the details!

The Matrix Trilogy

They've been on Netflix before, and now they will return on April Fools Day. This April 1st, The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, and The Matrix Revolutions will be arriving on the platform. While there is debate on this thought provoking sci-fi/action trilogy on which is the best film, they carry lots of fans.

The Social Network

Same with The Matrix Trilogy, The Social Network hits the streaming service on April 1, 2020. Originally released in 2010, a decade later it lands on Netflix. It follows the rise of Mark Zuckerberg and the creation of Facebook. The movie received many awards and a lot of praise from critics everywhere.

The Irishman

This Martin Scorsese crime drama features Al Pacino, Robert Deniro, Joe Pesci and other unbelievably talented actors. Even though this movie was made for Netflix, you can tell the production value is high. Amazing de-aging technology is utilized well in it, plus it's the perfect film to watch while staying at home because of the time it will take up. This stunning three and a half hour film that's been on Netflix for only a few months is something available to watch this April that you totally should.

Space Jam

This is a hilarious 90's live action/animated classic. A mix between basketball and cartoons that many people love. Nostalgic, well done, and it might be helpful to watch since a sequel is on its way. Space Jam 2 will apparently feature Lebron James and is heading our way in 2021. Space Jam has only been on Netflix for a couple of weeks and it will be a fun family movie to pass the time.

Despicable Me

Despicable Me, the movie that garnered two more sequels, plus two spinoff prequels. This animated movie introduced us to Gru, the girls, and the minions. It will be arriving on Netflix April 16, 2020. The film isn't a masterpiece, but it packs heart and many laughs (even if some are fart-related).

Hook

Hook features Robin Williams in a twist on the famous story of Peter Pan and Neverland. Robin plays the captain fantastically and the set design is insanely well-done. The movie first came to theatres in 1991, and now people are able to stream it on Netflix right now. It manages to encapsulate a feeling of childhood, and is a fun time all around.

Between all of these new movies on this beloved streaming service, from all of us at TheMovieScoop.com, we think you'll enjoy the list we've put together. From 90's classics like Hook or Space Jam, to big blockbusters like The Irishman or the The Matrix trilogy, there is a ton of content to keep yourself busy during the month of April.
