Being ranked as the No. 1 movie on Netflix might not be as prestigious as winning Best Picture at the Oscars, but it’s still a sign that a film has managed to draw the attention (and viewing hours) of millions of subscribers to the world’s biggest streaming service.
To date in 2025, 15 movies have managed to ascend to the top of the Netflix top 10 list (per Netflix’s tracking data). While it’s perhaps not a vintage collection, with several skippable efforts like “Kinda Pregnant” and “iHostage” wearing the crown for a period, there has been a handful of flicks worthy of the top spot.
