There is something oddly satisfying about peeking into what everyone else is watching. Like checking someone’s “Continue Watching” tab when they are not looking. The top 10 movies on Netflix this week feel exactly like that. A mix of chaos, comfort, and collective curiosity. Some picks are no-brainers, some are wild cards, and a few feel like society is going through something weird together. As June wraps up, the chart has delivered a little bit of everything, including thrillers, documentaries, absurd comedies, and the return of at least one zombie outbreak.

Topping the chart once again is Straw, which has quietly become a bit of a phenomenon. It has been trending for weeks, with viewers returning for its strange, surreal rhythm and understated chaos. It is the kind of film that grows on you, crawls under your skin, and refuses to leave. The fact that it is still dominating while newer releases swirl in and out proves it has found a very loyal (and possibly disturbed) fan base.

KPop Demon Hunters is the latest wild card in the mix. Bright and unapologetically over-the-top, it brings together two very online worlds, K-pop and demon-slaying, and somehow makes it work. It is flashy and absurd, but in a way that makes you keep watching just to see what could happen next.

Then there is Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy, a sobering documentary that captures the horror and chaos of the 2021 music festival disaster. It has struck a nerve for many viewers, offering both new details and emotional weight. Following closely is Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster, another real-life catastrophe that is equally hard to look away from. These two films show how disaster documentaries continue to pull strong numbers, especially when they tap into events that left a lasting global impact.

Plane, the Gerard Butler-led action film, is still flying high on the list. With its old-school thrills and perfectly timed tension, it is the kind of movie that knows exactly what it is and delivers. It may not be subtle, but it gets the job done, and sometimes that is all audiences want on a Friday night.

Next is Trainwreck: Mayor of Mayhem, another entry in the Trainwreck docuseries that focuses on political chaos and mismanagement. While it might not have the intensity of the other entries, it brings enough outrage and curiosity to stay on the list.

Copycat brings back 1990s serial killer vibes, riding on a wave of nostalgia for psychological thrillers. For Netflix viewers who want slow dread over jump scares, it delivers.

28 Weeks Later, trending in the eighth position, proves once again that zombie flicks never go out of style. As people revisit the post-apocalyptic world with fresh eyes, the film has jumped back into the top ten.

Land of Bad, with Liam Hemsworth and Russell Crowe, offers a gritty military thriller that feels surprisingly current. It may not be winning awards, but it hits all the genre beats with confidence.

Rounding off the list is The Valet, a light romantic comedy that has found its audience quietly. In a lineup filled with disaster and demons, this little feel-good flick brings a rare bit of softness to the week’s watchlist.
