Imagine a party. Tonight’s guest list includes exploding K-pop execs, undead virus survivors, and cult classic comfort stars. The June most popular movie chart of Netflix looks like a mash‑up of summer films you didn’t expect, each one carrying its own vibe, and yes, the plushest of all, The Intern, shows up like your favourite hoodie at the end of a long day.

There is a curious pattern playing out on Netflix this week, and it is one we have seen before. A comforting, chaotic mix of old, new, loud, quiet, animated, and live-action. But this time, there is a small shake-up that adds some flavour to the lineup. Straw, which had a stronghold at the top for weeks, has finally stepped down. The film that once dominated conversations is still hanging around in the top three, but its exit from the throne makes way for some unexpected new leaders.

At number one, we have KPop Demon Hunters. Equal parts ridiculous and refreshing, this movie is about exactly what it says on the label. Demon-slaying pop stars with flashy visuals, punchy performances, and the kind of genre fusion that Netflix fans eat up. It is vibrant, chaotic, and unapologetically fun. Perfect for a platform that thrives on novelty.

Following closely at number two is Trainwreck: Poop Cruise. If you are surprised it made the list, you have not been paying attention. Audiences love disaster content – the messier, the better. This documentary series-turned-top-trending movie delivers peak secondhand embarrassment and horrifying what-would-you-do moments, and viewers cannot seem to look away.

Then comes Straw in third place, still holding on with quiet force. This one hit hard when it arrived, and it continues to find viewers week after week. Dark, slow-burning, and narratively bold, it remains a favourite for those seeking substance with their suspense.

But the real surprise this week? The Intern is sneaking into the fourth spot. That is right, the 2015 Nancy Meyers film starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. Maybe it is comfort that people are chasing. Or maybe it is just the kind of light, optimistic cinema that balances out a feed full of zombie outbreaks and government conspiracies. Either way, it proves that no matter how many flashy originals Netflix produces, a good old-fashioned feel-good story still has its place.

The rest of the list brings the expected variety. Land of Bad is pure military action, while 28 Weeks Later scratches the horror itch. The Fate of the Furious races in with classic high-octane drama, and Infinite continues to pull in fans of twisty sci-fi. The Old Guard reminds us that immortals are still cool, and Sing closes out the list on a high note, quite literally.

What this week’s lineup shows is not just what people are watching but why. Audiences are looking for comfort, chaos, familiarity, and freshness all at once. Netflix delivers that blend, and every title in the top ten this week reflects a different emotional need. Whether you want to laugh, cry, or just have something buzzing in the background, the platform is ready.
