I have also already seen Get Low, which I would recommend you check out. Other than that, check out the list below to make your choice this weekend.

Then, one day, Felix rides to town with a shotgun and a wad of cash, saying he wants to buy a funeral. It’s not your usual funeral for the dead Felix wants.
