Netflix’s most-watched movies of the past week include a sci-fi action, the second-most famous animated movie about fish after Finding Nemo, and one racking up eye-watering viewing numbers.
So if you feel like you’ve run out of things to watch, let Netflix’s very own global most-watched charts suggest some ideas you might’ve missed.
Or you can just watch K-Pop Demon Hunters again. That seems like a popular choice.

Despite being eight years after its original cinema outing, this animated action comedy is still going strong.
This movie has seen 2,700,000 views on Netflix and is all about spies…except, well, they’re also babies. It makes sense in the movie, okay?
Tim is a seven-year-old who is jealous of the attention being given to his baby brother, until he discovers that, not only can the baby talk, but he’s actually a mini secret agent.
Together the pair team up on a mission to prevent puppies becoming more popular than babies.
9. The Secret Agent – 2,800,000 views
Set in Brazil, Kleber Mendonça Filho’s The Secret Agent is about a man carrying a secret and hunted by a powerful enemy amid the country’smilitary dictatorship.
The film was fancied to win several Oscars but sadly failed to take home the prize in any of the four categories in which it had been nominated (including a new category – Achievement in Casting).
However, it seems to be a crowd favourite, so if you’re interested in trying a film with an acclaimed international campaign, give this a whirl.
8. Nobody 2 – 3,100,000 views
Bob Odenkirk stars in this sequel as Hutch Mansell, a former government assassin who is working to pay off the 30 million dollars he owes.
Nobody 2 picks up soon after the last film and, with the daily life of suburbia is getting to Hutch, he plans a family trip to a vintage waterpark that he visited in his youth.
As expected, chaos ensues but Hutch manages to maintain reluctant and – somehow – likeable throughout.
7. Nuremberg – 3,100,000 views
A real change of pace now with an American psychological historical drama bringing some of humanity’s darkest days into sharp focus.
With a star-studded cast including Russell Crowe and Rami Malek, the film follows a U.S Army psychiatrist who gets locked in a dramatic psychological showdown with accused Nazi war criminal Hermann Göring amid the Nuremberg trials.
6. Double Jeopardy – 3,500,000
Creeping up the charts this week, which is largely dominated by more recent films, Double Jeopardy is a 1999 movie making an impression and gaining 3,500,000 views.
If you’re interested in contributing to the film’s revival on Netflix, here’s the synopsis: Wrongly convicted and imprisoned for murdering her husband, a woman plots the ultimate revenge when she discovers he’s still alive.
5. Made in Korea – 4,100,000
The top ranking non-English language film this week, Made In Korea is making a bit of noise — becoming a top 10 movie in an impressive 24 countries.
If you’re looking for something that might bring a tear to your eye, try this touching story about a woman from a small town in Tamil Nadu, India, who moves to South Korea.
It’s always been her dream to do so, but what do you do when your dreams aren’t what you expected?
4. KPop Demon Hunters – 5,300,000 views
You didn’t expect to get through a Netflix chart without seeing your girls, did you? KPop Demon Hunters took home two Oscars for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song, so nobody is surprised that they are here for another week.
A staggering 39 weeks after it first appeared in the charts, it’s barely loosened its grip on the top five, let alone dropped out altogether.
Clearly the rewatch value is too tempting, as more than five million of you are still tuning in to HUNTR/X’s golden adventures over this past week. They’re K-pop stars by day, demon hunters by night. But you already knew that, didn’t you?
3. Shark Tale – 5,400,000 views
Told you there would be animated fish! This mid-2000s hit is making a splash (sorry) on the Netflix charts this week and, honestly, it seems a bit of a wild card, 20 years on from release.
Will Smith’s animated comedy follows a small fish who tells a lie that spirals into something bigger, and features Angelina Jolie with rather stunning hair for a fish. So if that interests you, give this a try.
2. Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere – 6,300,000 views
This was probably one you expected to see as the new release dominating headlines. Louis Theroux’s new documentary is a 90-minute deep dive into the world of the ultra-misogynistic manosphere, an ecosystem of online communities that spreads harmful opposition to feminism.
Much like Adolescence, it’s essential viewing and one Metro’s own Alana Anderson called ‘chilling’.
1. War Machine – 44,400,000 views
Despite Theroux’s documentary maybe more noise online, this week’s number one has seen off the competition with ease.
War Machine racked up more than 44 million views, beating its impressive debut in its first week in the charts which saw it reach another 39 million screen.
So, what’s it all about? Lionsgate’s sci-fi actioner War Machine, starring Alan Ritchson and Dennis Quaid, follows the final recruits of a special ops boot camp who find themselves in a fight for survival when they encounter a deadly, otherworldly force hellbent on picking them off.
