Sophie-May Williams Published July 10, 2025 12:16pm Link is copied Comments Unsure of what movie to watch over the weekend? We've got you covered. Netflix has just released its latest roundup of the top 10 most-watched films over the last week, and there are some quality titles ready and waiting to be binged. From a classic noughties comedy to a tense action thriller, there's also a heartwarming original documentary filmed in the stunning oceans of Hawaii. Ready to shut the world away for a while? Here are the top 10 Netflix movies right now (Picture: Netflix) Raid 2 is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language crime thriller. It's a sequel to 2018's Raid. In 1989 in Rajasthan, India, IPS officer Patnaik plans to raid a palace, but it goes miserably wrong. He requests a bribe and is transferred to Bhoj, where he must investigate a respected local figure called Dada Bhai. He soon uncovers some hidden truths… (Picture: Netflix) Another sequel on this week's list is Grown Ups 2, but the premise is very different. For one, it's a comedy movie and follows the escapades of childhood friends Lenny, Eric, Marcus, and Kurt once again. It's set three years after the events of the first film, and sees Lenny and his family move back to his hometown. As soon as he arrives back, Lenny faces many hilarious situations, from waking up to a deer in his bedroom to being confronted by an obnoxious fraternity kid (Picture: Tracy Bennett) Gerard Butler plays Brodie Torrance, a commercial pilot and former RAF officer. When a lightning strike destroys part of the plane, Brodie is forced to perform an emergency landing on a rebel-controlled island in the Philippines. For the next 24 hours, Brodie - and homicide suspect Louis Gaspare - must fend off the attackers and rescue the 14 plane passengers who have been held hostage (Picture: AP) This wholesome documentary stars marine conservationist and social media activist Ocean Ramsey as she swims with sharks in Oahu, Hawaii. The film showcases Ocean's interactions with the feared fish and takes a (quite literal) deep dive into her mission to protect them (Picture: Netflix) Netflix's Trainwreck anthology documents various types of real-life events, from disastrous festivals, political scandals, and media hoaxes, to name a few. In the case of the aptly named Poop Cruise, it centres around a luxury cruise ship holding 4,000 passengers that experiences an engine fire. Stranded in the middle of the ocean, passengers and crew must deal with food shortages and (as you'd have guessed by the name), sewage leaks. Nice (Picture: Netflix) With 700,000 more views than 'Poop Cruise' is another Trainwreck offering: The Cult of American Apparel. This documentary explores the rise of American Apparel as one of the biggest fashion brands in the 2000s. However, thanks to tell-all interviews with insiders and former staff, it also uncovers financial troubles, harassment claims, and a toxic working environment (Picture: Netflix/Everett/REX/Shutterstock) The Old Guard is a 2020 superhero film based on Greg Rucka's comic book series. It follows a group of mercenaries who are centuries-old immortals with the ability to heal themselves. When they discover that someone is onto their secret and wants to kill them, they must fight to protect their freedom (Picture: AP) In this science fiction thriller, Mark Wahlberg stars as Evan, a reincarnated human who can remember everything from his past life. Evan knows the location of a device that can destroy the world, and is pursued by two groups trying to claim it for themselves: the Believers, who want to make the world a better place, and the Nihilists, who want to destroy the world (Picture: AP) This animated musical fantasy film follows a world-renowned K-pop girl band. While living their best lives in the spotlight and making music for their millions of adoring fans, they also have secret identities as demon hunters (Picture: Netflix) Finally, The Old Guard 2 (The Old Guard's sequel) is at number one. In this movie, Andy, one of the mercenaries, leads her fellow immortal warriors against a powerful enemy that threatens to destroy their group. When a long-lost immortal resurfaces, it complicates the group's mission to save humanity (Picture: AP)

While the show landing on Netflix in Europe and the US has also fuelled the growth in the fandom of Carrie's fashion. Though the main character's looks have remained a point of cultural reference since the show first aired in 1998.
