It may not be Thanksgiving yet, but you had better be ready to jingle all the way down Santa Claus lane, because out of all the new movies and shows on Netflix this week, about a third of them are Christmas movies. That includes a new Netflix original Christmas rom-com starring Alicia Silverstone and Melissa Joan Hart and an early 2000s dramedy starring Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore and Sam Rockwell, but mostly, it’s a big batch of TV Christmas movies from the last couple of years.
New releases on Netflix this week also include the return of “Sesame Street,” a new Claire Danes drama from the team behind “Homeland,” the latest from Richard Linklater, some throwback favorites like “Moulin Rouge!” and a new Eddie Murphy documentary.

“Being Eddie”
Netflix Documentary
Release Date: Nov. 12
It goes without saying that there is only one Eddie Murphy. No other teen comedian shared a stage with Jerry Seinfeld at 17, and joined the cast of “Saturday Night Live” right out of high school. No actor has ever played a cop, a doctor and a donkey — and dominated every facet of Hollywood he’s touched. Fewer still have been an A-list celebrity for over four decades, and never succumbed to its darker side. Murphy’s unusual combination of explosive charisma, focused ambition, raw talent and deep-set circumspection puts him in a league of his own, and is on full display in “Being Eddie,” directed by two-time Oscar® winner Angus Wall. The documentary gathers comedy and Hollywood legends like Dave Chappelle, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jamie Foxx, Jerry Seinfeld, Reginald Hudlin and more to celebrate the Oscar®-nominated actor and his nearly 50-year career that’s seen him break barriers, invent genres and inspire generations of talent. For the first time ever, Murphy invites the public into his home to revisit his breathtaking body of work, all the while revealing the dazzling interior life that has long driven — and grounded — this once-in-a-century star.
