Learn Dutch: Zulke films kijken altijd lekker weg, maar ze zijn oppervlakkig. - Such movies are always easy to watch, but they are superficial.

This sentence uses the facilitive middle voice, which is common in Dutch. Instead of a passive construction, an active verb is paired with an adverb of manner (here, lekker) to describe how an object undergoes an action. The movies aren't doing the watching, but making them the active subject emphasizes that the experience of watching them is effortless.

Does the separable verb wegkijken always mean 'easy to watch'?

Only in this specific type of construction. On its own, wegkijken literally means 'to look away' (like looking away from a scary scene). But when combined with an adverb like lekker or makkelijk in a middle voice sentence, the weg part implies consuming something continuously and without resistance, similar to saying a book 'reads away easily' (leest makkelijk weg).

Why is it zulke films instead of zo'n films?

Because films is a plural noun. A very common mistake is using zo'n (which means 'such a' and comes from zo een) for everything. You must use zo'n for singular nouns, but always switch to zulke for plural or uncountable nouns.
