There are only a few weekends left before the back-to-school season is in full swing. Whenever I'm not sure what to watch, I always look at the Top 10 Most Watched Movies. Of course, not all of them will be winners, but it's a nice way to cut through the noise quickly.

With this in mind, let me help you figure out what to watch by narrowing down the best three to watch on Netflix's Top 10 Movies list. This list includes two action movie classics starring Tom Cruise and Bruce Willis, as well as an earworm-filled animated film that the whole family will enjoy.

This article is based on the Netflix Top 10 list of the most-watched movies in the U.S. as of 12 p.m. ET on Saturday, August 10; see Netflix's new arrivals this month here.

Before Alan Ritchson played Jack Reacher on the award-winning Prime Video show, Tom Cruise first brought the vigilante-turned ex-military behemoth to audiences on the big screen in 2012. Now, the original "Jack Reacher" has made Netflix's top 10 list (along with the not-so-loved sequel "Jack Reacher: Never Go Back").

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who also helmed the last three "Mission: Impossible" films: "Jack Reacher" is a high-octane thrill ride in which Cruise is at his action hero best. After a sniper shoots and kills five random people on a park path in Pittsburgh, the police ask Jack Reacher to conduct an independent investigation to uncover the identity of the assailant.

Bruce Willis may be retired, but on Netflix you can watch one of the best action movies he starred in during his decades-long career. Directed by Robert Schwentke ("Flightplan" and "R.I.P.D."), "Red" stars Willis as former CIA black ops agent Frank Moses.

After taking the team all on alone, in classic active film fashion, he kidnaps his lover to keep her safe, and gets his old team back. Together, they uncover a plot that threatens their lives. To survive, they take on the near impossible mission of breaking into CIA headquarters.
