Best movies in the Netflix top 10
'Train Wreck: Poop Cruise' (2025)
This summer is shaping up to be a big one for Netflix documentaries. The three newest entries from its "Trainwreck" anthology series, which dives into strange yet fascinating viral news stories, are in the top 10. I'm not surprised to see which has earned the top spot given it's eyebrow-raising title: "Trainwreck: Poop Cruise."
What was meant to be a relaxing four-day cruise from Texas to Mexico quickly descended into a nightmare for over 4,000 passengers and crew after a fire knocked out the ship’s electrical systems. Stuck adrift at sea with no air conditioning, refrigeration, or plumbing (hence the voyage's unfortunate nickname), the occupants were left fighting over dwindling supplies amid raw sewage.
News footage and witness testimonies from passengers and crew expose the grueling reality of the situation in stomach-churning detail. So maybe don't watch this one over a meal.

'Straw' (2025)
Tyler Perry's latest thriller "Straw" has held strong in the Netflix top 10 since it premiered on June 6, and it proves that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Taraji P. Henson stars as Janiyah, a single mother who just can't seem to catch a break.
After losing her job, she's caught up in a bank robbery while trying to collect her final paycheck so she can buy her sick daughter's medicine. Though she survives, it proves to be her breaking point.
With nothing left to lose, she takes the bank—and everyone inside—hostage. Among those caught in the standoff is a bank teller (Sherri Shepherd) who starts to see through the chaos and connect with Janiyah's pain. Outside, Detective Raymond (Teyana Taylor) leads the negotiations, convinced Janiyah isn’t a criminal but rather a desperate mother pushed beyond her breaking point.

'Kpop Demon Hunters' (2025)
I don't listen to much K-pop, but I am a huge fan of Sony Pictures Animation, the studio behind both the "Spider-Verse" flicks and 2021's "The Mitchells vs the Machines." And their latest animated adventure is one of their best yet, easily shooting to the top of my list of favorite movies of the year so far. (Critics seem to agree, given its 97% Rotten Tomatoes score.)
"KPop Demon Hunters" delivers a surprisingly charming mix of stunning and expressive animation, sharp humor, a straightforward yet compelling story, and ridiculously catchy earworms.
It follows chart-topping superstars Rumi (voiced by Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo), who use their songs and demon-slaying skills to protect the world from evil supernatural forces. But when a rival boy band of demons in disguise comes for the souls of their fans, the idols gear up to slay the day.
