Letterboxd’s One Million Watched Club is basically where movies go once they have broken through. A million people have to actually mark the film as watched. A million. Which, when you think about how much stuff gets logged on Letterboxd every single day, is a bit bonkers.

And Netflix has managed to get some big names in there too. Bird Box, Marriage Story, The Irishman, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery: all in. So this isn’t just a bunch of films that went viral for five minutes and then, poof, disappeared into thin air. We’re talking heavy hitters.

But that’s not even the crazy part. Some of the newer Netflix films are getting there ridiculously fast. Films from 2024, 2025 and even 2026 are already sitting next to titles that had years to build up that kind of audience. Isn’t that crazy?

So rather than trawling through every Netflix film that has ever made the club, these are five of the most recent ones to get past that one-million mark.

Five Netflix movies in Letterboxd’s One Million Watched club:

Carry-On (Jaume Collet-Serra, 2024)

Carry-On had an amazing little Christmas on Netflix, but it didn’t disappear after that. It had a great run and shone brighter than the holiday specials. The film currently sits at number three on Netflix’s all-time most popular English films list with 172.1 million views, behind only KPop Demon Hunters and Red Notice. Which is, you know, not bad company to keep.

Taron Egerton plays Ethan Kopek, a TSA officer who gets blackmailed by a mysterious traveller, played by Jason Bateman, into letting a dangerous package onto a Christmas Eve flight. Director Jaume Collet-Serra was probably a safe pair of hands for this film, seeing as he already made Non-Stop and The Commuter. It’s fun to watch Jason Bateman playing against type here, swapping his usual dry comic energy for something much colder.

So the million Letterboxd watches? Yeah, you can see it. Carry-On has got a premise you can explain in about ten seconds, and the timing couldn’t have been better because a lot of people watched it during Christmas.

KPop Demon Hunters (Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, 2025)

Well. This one got a bit out of hand literally everywhere, didn’t it? Plus, its presence on Letterboxd was par for the course. KPop Demon Hunters started life as an animated fantasy musical and ended up becoming Netflix’s most popular English-language film ever. With about 325.1 million views in its official 91-day window, the film spent 52 consecutive weeks in Netflix’s English-language film Top 10. Then it went and won both Oscars it was nominated for. It keeps getting better for it.

The story follows K-pop stars Rumi, Mira and Zoey, aka HUNTR/X, who secretly fight demons when they are not busy being massive pop stars. Then come the Saja Boys, who are a rival boy band who happen to be demons themselves. And the Letterboxd numbers?

Once the film started blowing up, it became one of those things where even people who had no intention of watching it eventually ended up bingeing it multiple times. To be fair, a million logs was never going to be the hard part.

Frankenstein (Guillermo del Toro, 2025)

Guillermo del Toro had been banging on about wanting to make Frankenstein for years, so once it finally happened, Letterboxd was hardly going to sit this one out. Mary Shelley’s novel has been important to him since he was a kid, and Netflix clearly let him go for it.

Oscar Isaac plays Victor Frankenstein, who is brilliant and also, frankly, an absolute menace to himself. Jacob Elordi plays the Creature under a massive transformation, while Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz are in there too.

The film opened at number one on the English film chart of Netflix with 29.1million views and made the Top 10 in 93 countries. Then came the Oscar nominations. Nine of them. Including Best Picture and Supporting Actor for Elordi. So by that point, the million Letterboxd watches were hardly coming out of nowhere. Del Toro making Frankenstein is already the sort of sentence that gets film people reaching for Netflix. Add the awards buzz, and it’s golden.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (Rian Johnson, 2025)

By the third Benoit Blanc film, Daniel Craig could probably walk into a room, and half the audience would already be sold. Wake Up Dead Man doesn’t just do Knives Out again, though. Rian Johnson takes Blanc somewhere much gloomier this time, sticking him in an old church and building the mystery around faith rather than another rich family tearing strips off each other. Johnson called it more “gothic” and grounded than the earlier films.

Daniel Craig is back as Blanc, but Josh O’Connor’s young priest Jud Duplenticy gets a lot of the attention. Then Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, played by Josh Brolin, gets murdered under circumstances that look more or less impossible. Naturally. And the cast around them is a joke, frankly.

Glenn Close is there. Andrew Scott turns up. So do Kerry Washington, Mila Kunis and Cailee Spaeny. No wonder people watched. It opened with 20.2 million views in its first chart week, then climbed to 20.9 million the week after and stayed at number one. So the million-Letterboxd mark didn’t come as a big surprise.

People We Meet on Vacation (Brett Haley, 2026)

People We Meet on Vacation had one massive advantage before it even released: people were already waiting for it. Emily Henry’s 2021 novel had been a bestseller for years, and the film coming out even shoved the book back up the charts again. Then Netflix released the adaptation, and 17.2 million were garnered just like that. So, yeah. The audience was there.

Emily Bader plays Poppy, a travel writer who is much more spontaneous than her best friend Alex, played by Tom Blyth. He likes routine. She very much does not. Somehow, despite being chalk and cheese, they keep going away together every summer.

And eventually, we get to the question everyone can see coming from about a mile off. Are they actually in love? Well… come on. The friends-to-lovers thing was already getting half the work done, and then you have got all the holiday escapism on top. Add all those Emily Henry readers comparing the book, and a million Letterboxd watches were always on the cards.
