"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is the sequel to 2014's "Guardians of the Galaxy," which brought the Marvel Cinematic Universe off Earth and to new worlds. "Vol. 2" pushes the team to their limits with a more personal story, as Star-Lord, played by Chris Pratt, discovers who is real father is: Ego, the all-powerful being played by Kurt Russell.

Netflix only recently picked up the first film in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and if you have three hours to spare, you can re-visit Middle-Earth at your convenience.

If you're excited about "Solo: A Star Wars Story" in May, you may want to revisit the "Star Wars" franchise's first spin-off film, "Rogue One," which portrays the efforts of the Rebels to steal the Death Star plans immediately before the events of "A New Hope."

The original "Beauty and the Beast" was the first animated film to ever be nominated for a best picture Oscar. Last year's live-action reimagining didn't quite reach that level of quality, but it did manage to make over $1 billion worldwide.

"Doctor Strange," like "Guardians of the Galaxy," introduced a new world to the Marvel Cinematic Universe: this time of magic. Benedict Cumberbatch plays the title character in near-perfect casting, with the same type of sinister, sarcastic swagger that Robert Downey, Jr. brings to Tony Stark that we love to hate.

"Captain America: Civil War," loosely based on the 2007 Marvel comic book "Civil War," is one of Marvel Studios' highest-grossing films. The focus is on Cap and his friendship with Bucky, which puts him at odds with Iron Man, who supports a government initiative to register super humans.

Jon Favreau's reimagining of "The Jungle Book" was not only a box-office smash, earning nearly $1 billion worldwide, but it also won the Oscar for best visual effects last year. And deservedly so. Favreau's live-action remake utilizes motion capture technology in a way rarely seen, and he'll bring his talents to next year's "The Lion King" remake, in which Donald Glover plays Simba.

Nicolas Cage is known for a lot of things, including being one of the most meme-worthy actors working today. But he's also been in his fair share of action movies, from "Con Air" to the popular adventure franchise "National Treasure," available on Netflix.

Michael Bay's "Armageddon" isn't exactly known for its sensible plot — a group of drillers are recruited to train as astronauts so they can drill into the center of an asteroid heading toward Earth and plant a bomb to blow it in half. It's a big, fun, dumb disaster movie in true Michael Bay fashion. But if you're looking to watch something like that, it's ready whenever you are.

The first film in the Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith-starring series is on Netflix. I'm sure we all know the drill: Jones and Smith play members of an organization that keeps track of aliens on Earth. (Chris Hemsworth is in talks to join a planned spin-off, according to Variety.)

Tim Burton's 1989 "Batman" film brought the Dark Knight out of the camp of the 1960s Adam West TV series and into the gothic darkness of Burton's vision. However, it was still more campy than Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight Trilogy" would be, especially Jack Nicholson's Joker.

Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" needs no introduction. If you're looking to add to your Shark Week this year, though, Netflix has you covered.

The third of the new generation of "Star Trek" movies didn't do quite as well at the box office as its two predecessors, but it's not only one on Hulu. So if you're looking to satisfy a thirst for "Star Trek," Hulu has you covered.

The first of the new "Star Trek" movies, J.J. Abrams revitalized this aging franchise before he took on "Star Wars." Is Zachary Quino not a perfect Spock?

Unfortunately, Hulu only offers the finale of the "The Hunger Games" saga, but for those who aren't trying to binge the series in its entirety and just want to visit that world, you can at any time.

"Spectre" was the latest of the Daniel Craig-James Bond films to arrive in theaters (but probably not the last). It attempts to connect the three Craig-starring Bond flicks before it in a way that the franchise hadn't really tried before, to mixed results. But it's still a fun, action-spy thriller directed by Sam Mendes.

"Iron Man" kickstarted the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2008, and it still holds up rather well, even compared to newer Marvel Studios films.

Forget the Collin Farrell-starring remake in 2012 — the original 1990 film with Arnold Schwarzenegger is all you need.

Yes, all four "Indiana Jones" films are available on Hulu. Harrison Ford has embodied countless classic characters, and Jones is one of his most iconic — even taking into account "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," which no one will be mad if you skip.
