Here’s how it works. (Image credit: Universal Pictures / Pictorial Press Ltd / Alamy) Summer is heating up, and the best streaming services are serving up a smorgasbord of new movies to celebrate. But with so many options, narrowing down what to watch next can quickly become a headache. I regularly comb through the Netflix top 10 list of most-watched movies to check out what's got everyone buzzing. Granted, there's bound to be some over-hyped duds among the gems. I mean, just look at "Gods of Egypt" holding strong for the second week in a row. That's why I'm highlighting which Netflix top 10 movies are worth your precious streaming time. This week, that includes an earworm-filled animated adventure from the team behind the "Spider-Verse" films that's earned a theatrical release, a surprisingly charming rom-com starring J-Lo and Owen Wilson, and a heart-pounding spy thriller led by Gerard Butler.

For even more streaming recommendations, be sure to check out our guide to everything new on Netflix this month. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the three must-watch movies in Netflix’s top 10. This article is based on Netflix's top 10 movies list in the U.S. as of 11:00 a.m. ET on Saturday, August 16. Best movies in the Netflix top 10 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' (2025) KPop Demon Hunters | Official Trailer | Sony Animation - YouTube "K-Pop Demon Hunters" has been such a global sensation this summer that Netflix announced it's coming to theaters later this month for a sing-along event, similar to what Universal did for "Wicked" part one. I’ll admit, I’m not much of a K-pop fan, but I had an absolute blast with this one. Sony Pictures Animation already stole my heart with the "Spider-Verse" films and "The Mitchells vs. the Machines," and this is the studio's most heartfelt and vibrant adventure yet. "K-Pop Demon Hunters" follows chart-topping idols Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), the latest generation of demon-slaying musicians keeping evil at bay with their harmony. Their biggest challenge arrives when a pack of demons disguise themselves as a rival boy band to siphon the souls of their fans. With their reputation, not to mention the fate of the world, on the line, the trio must first confront their own inner demons to have any hope of coming out on top.

"KPop Demon Hunters" has already become the most-watched Netflix animated original film of all time, and it's second only to "Red Notice" as the most-watched Netflix movie ever. If you still haven't seen it yet, I encourage you to give it a watch. Meanwhile, fans can get ready to see Huntrix take on the Saja Boys on the big screen on August 23 and 24. Watch it now on Netflix 'Mary Me' (2022) Marry Me - Official Trailer [HD] - YouTube On paper, "Marry Me" sounds pretty cliche, even by romcom standards, so I was surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did. Global pop sensation Kat Valdez (Jennifer Lopez) plans to wed her musical partner Bastian (Maluma) live on stage in front of thousands of adoring fans. But before they can say "I do," she discovers he’s cheating on her with her assistant. The sold-out crowd watches the drama unfold live, and among them is math teacher Charlie Gilbert (Owen Wilson) with his daughter, Lou (Chloe Coleman). When the truth about Bastian’s affair breaks, Kat's humiliated and left floundering for a lifeline on stage. On a whim, Charlie holds up a sign that reads “Marry Me," and to everyone's surprise, she says yes. The paparazzi immediately clock her engagement as the desperate stunt it is, so she decides to stay married to Charlie to protect her image. At least until all the public interest and scrutiny cools down. However, as the two play up their happy marriage for the cameras, they begin to find genuine common ground, which sends real sparks flying. Watch "Marry Me" now on Netflix 'Kandahar' (2023) KANDAHAR | Teaser Trailer | Only in Theatres - May 26 - YouTube While it didn't do too hot in theaters, Gerard Butler's pulse-pounding action thriller "Kandahar" is finding new life on streaming. It even briefly ousted "K-Pop Demon Hunters" from the number 1 spot on Netflix's top 10. (The girlies have since regained their throne, because Huntrix don't miss.) I expected "Kandahar" to be fun but forgettable popcorn fodder, but it's definitely stronger than its middling 45% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes had me believe. Audiences gave it a much more charitable 82% on the Popcornmeter, and I can see why. It's leagues better than the other Butler-led movie on Netflix's top 10 list, "Gods of Egypt," so if you're deciding between the two, "Kandahar" has my vote by a mile. Butler once again cements his place as Hollywood’s go-to action hero in this high-stakes spy thriller loosely inspired by real events. He plays Tom Harris, a CIA operative who becomes the subject of a manhunt after his cover is blown. Stranded deep in hostile territory in Afghanistan with his translator (Navid Negahban), Harris carves a bloody path to an extraction point in Kandahar with elite enemy forces and foreign spies hot on their tail.
