These five top the list of movies on the streaming service.
Netflix is full of movies and shows. There are so many, in fact, that it's easy to get lost. Luckily, the streaming service has a rating system that shows you what's trending.
Here are five movies that peaked in popularity this week.
5. Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut (6.5 on IMDb)
It's no secret that people love documentaries. But while there are plenty of popular true crime documentaries, there are few films about our bodies and our health. Anjali Nayar's brand-new documentary about the connection between your digestive system, specifically your intestines, and your overall health will make you think about the meaning of the phrase "you are what you eat," and perhaps encourage you to pay more attention to your diet.
4. Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp (4.5 on IMDb)
This live-action slapstick comedy based on the legendary titular cartoon character, voiced in the film by Eric Bauza, has been out for almost a month and has received mostly scathing reviews, but somehow it's still one of Netflix's most popular movies. The movie follows Woody, who tries to redeem himself by learning the intricacies of teamwork at the Camp Woo Hoo after being kicked out of his forest home for his bad behavior.
3. Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver (5.2 on IMDb)
The second installment of Zack Snyder's failed space saga continues to follow Kora, an Imperium soldier turned rebel leader, as she returns to Veldt after her battle with Motherworld forces, believing she and her team have rid the planet of imminent danger. It turns out, however, that they have jumped the gun, and Veldt still faces the possibility of being plundered by Motherworld troops gathering food from the colonies. Now Kora and her team must once again stand their ground.
2. Anyone But You (6.1 on IMDb)
Will Gluck's romantic comedy starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell was a huge hit when it was released in late 2023, grossing over $219 million against a $25 million budget. The movie tells the story of Sweeney's Bea and Powell's Ben, who meet in a coffee shop, spend the night together and part ways, only to meet again six months later when Bea's sister gets engaged to Ben's friend. Since things ended badly between them, Bea and Ben's relationship seems too strained for the upcoming wedding.
1. Unfrosted (5.6 on IMDb)
Jerry Seinfeld's directorial debut features an all-star ensemble cast including himself, Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, Jim Gaffigan and Max Greenfield as the various executives of Kellogg's and Post, two food companies competing in the instant breakfast market. The film is an exaggerated and fictionalized account of the creation of Pop-Tarts, which forever revolutionized the breakfast cereal market.
