Netflix has always been a treasure trove of excellent TV series and films; however, therein lies the problem. As things are added and removed from the platform frequently, and as it becomes increasingly difficult to keep on top of everything available to you, it becomes increasingly hard to set aside time to browse through all of the options when choosing what to watch.

When you are looking for something to watch and don’t have time to peruse the thousands of options at your fingertips, turning to the top ten in your area can be a good idea. These are usually movies of some quality, and as such, an array of people wouldn’t have watched them if they hadn’t. A healthy variety is also often available in the top ten list, so you aren’t limiting yourself when choosing from it. 

This week is no different, as the top ten movies on Netflix are an exciting mix of comedy, family, and action. Some films have been in the top ten for weeks now, so you may have already come across them; however, some are more recent additions to the streaming platform and, therefore, are celebrating their first week in the charts.

The number one movie is Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. Starring comedy icon Eddie Murphy, this exciting sequel sees Axel Foley return to Beverly Hills once he finds out his daughter’s life has been threatened. He works with several other officials to look after his daughter and put the right people behind bars.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is celebrating its 18th week in the top 10 charts. This film dominated the box office when it was originally released in cinema and has had a similar effect ever since it landed on Netflix. With a star-studded cast, fans everywhere watch in awe as their favourite video game character is brought to life. At 92 minutes long, this is also one of the shortest films on the list.

The Long Game is the newest entry into the top ten as it celebrates its very first week in the highest ranks. Originally released in 2023, this is one of the most grounded films on Netflix. It explores the lives of Hispanic golfers and tells a long-overdue tale about the importance of diversity in sports.
