Snowed In? Netflix’s Top 10 Has Your Perfect Weekend Watch List

As the snow blankets the world outside, there’s no better excuse to hunker down on the couch and dive into Netflix’s most-watched movies. With so many options vying for your attention, I’ve scoured the platform’s trending list to bring you the cream of the crop—no endless scrolling required.

This week’s lineup is a wild mix of high-stakes action, offbeat sci-fi, and record-breaking blockbusters. Whether you’re in the mood for a pulse-pounding heist thriller, a campy sequel that defies expectations, or Netflix’s biggest hit of all time, I’ve got you covered. And if none of these tickle your fancy, stick around for my bonus recommendations at the end.

Here are the three must-watch movies in Netflix’s top 10 this weekend. Grab your popcorn and let’s get streaming!

1. ‘The Rip’ (2026)

Tagline: When millions fall into the wrong hands, trust becomes the ultimate currency.

Netflix’s latest heist thriller, The Rip, has already racked up over 41 million views in its first week, making it an early contender for the streamer’s biggest movie of the year. Directed by the dynamic duo Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, this high-octane thriller follows a group of Miami cops who stumble upon a hidden cache of millions during a routine bust.

But as they scramble to secure the scene and figure out their next move, word of their windfall spreads like wildfire, turning their lives upside down. With tensions running high and suspicions rampant—especially after their commander’s mysterious death—trust becomes a rare commodity.

While The Rip delivers the adrenaline-fueled action you’d expect from a Damon-Affleck collaboration, its twists might feel a bit predictable for seasoned thriller fans. Still, it’s a solid popcorn flick that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat.

2. ‘M3GAN 2.0’ (Netflix)

Tagline: She’s back, and she’s badder than ever.

If you thought the first M3GAN was wild, buckle up for the sequel. M3GAN 2.0 has taken the internet by storm, proving that sometimes, the haters are just wrong. This campy, self-aware sci-fi horror-comedy doubles down on everything that made the original a cult hit: over-the-top deaths, biting humor, and a killer android who’s as sassy as she is deadly.

Set two years after M3GAN went rogue, the sequel introduces a new AI threat—a copycat built using M3GAN’s design. To stop her, Gemma (Allison Williams) and her niece Cady (Violet McGraw) must team up with a resurrected M3GAN. It’s Terminator 2 meets Mean Girls, and it’s exactly what a summer blockbuster should be.

3. ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ (2025)

Tagline: When the music stops, the demons come out to play.

Netflix’s biggest streaming hit of all time, K-Pop Demon Hunters, is still holding strong in the top 10. This animated gem from Sony Pictures Animation follows three K-pop stars—Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo)—who moonlight as demon hunters.

When a rival boy band, the Saja Boys, turns out to be a front for demonic forces, the trio must battle both external and internal demons to save the world. With its vibrant animation, catchy tunes, and a healthy dose of humor, K-Pop Demon Hunters is a feel-good flick that’s perfect for the whole family.
