<\/p>\n Fortunately, amongst the numerous Netflix No. 1 hits that really deserved to be buried at the bottom of the streaming library barrel, a small handful of movies that earned the title this year actually deserved such an honor. That\u2019s why I\u2019m highlighting the best Netflix No. 1 movies down below.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n Best Netflix No. 1 movies in 2025 (so far)\u2018Havoc\u2019<\/p>\n HAVOC | Official Trailer | Netflix – YouTube Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n My first pick is no doubt a controversial one, as I\u2019m aware that a lot of Netflix subscribers detested this Tom Hardy-fronted action-thriller. \u201cHavoc\u201d holds a miserable 35% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, so there\u2019s little doubt that many Netflix viewers felt it was unworthy of the No. 1 spot. However, the intense action sequences that only director Gareth Evans could craft won me over and were more than enough to make up for the bland plot in my eyes.<\/p>\n \u201cHavoc\u201d sees Hardy play a bruised detective in a city so riddled with criminal players, it makes Batman\u2019s Gotham look utopian in comparison. In this grimy world, Hardy\u2019s Walker must navigate the seedy underbelly of the city under the orders of a corrupt politician (Forest Whitaker). Also starring Timothy Olyphant as an even more corrupt police officer, \u201cHavoc\u201d packs some of my favorite action moments of the year, so I\u2019m still very happy to champion it.<\/p>\n Watch “Havoc” on Netflix<\/a> now<\/p>\n \u2018The Wild Robot\u2019<\/p>\n The Wild Robot | Official Trailer – YouTube Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n If you thought Pixar was the only animation studio capable of producing family movies that can reduce even adults into blubbering messes, think again. \u201cThe Wild Robot\u201d sees DreamWorks in top form, delivering a wonderful adventure, packed with lovable characters, simple (but important) life lessons, and a truly stunning animation style. By the end, you\u2019ll be rooting for its heroes and shedding more than a few (mostly happy) tears.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Wild Robot\u201d opens with the eponymous machine washing up on the shores of a remote island. With no way of returning to home base or sending a signal to its creators, the robot (nicknamed Roz and voiced by Lupita Nyong\u2019o) is forced to adapt to survive in its new surroundings. Soon after, the robot becomes the adopted mother to an orphaned gosling, and with some help from a sarcastic fox (Pedro Pascal), must protect the island\u2019s inhabitants.<\/p>\n Watch on “The Wild Robot” on Netflix<\/a> now<\/p>\n \u2018Plane\u2019<\/p>\n Plane (2023) Official Trailer \u2013 Gerard Butler, Mike Colter, Yoson An – YouTube Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cPlane\u201d is a very self-aware movie, and that\u2019s what makes this bombastic action flick work. It\u2019s far from award-worthy, but it\u2019s a great Netflix pick when you want a movie full of outrageous stunts, huge explosives and corny dialogue. You could absolutely pick this movie apart if desired, but if you\u2019re willing to embrace the carnage, it\u2019s hard not to have a boatload of fun.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n Gerard Butler is in fine action-hero form as Brodi Torrance (Butler), a pilot and former Royal Air Force officer who is forced into an emergency landing when his craft is struck by lightning. If that ordeal wasn\u2019t enough, the plane has landed in the middle of a warzone, and the surviving passengers are soon taken hostage. To recuse them, Torrance teams up with Louis Gaspare (Mike Colter), an accused murderer, who was on the aeroplane in FBI custody.<\/p>\n Watch “Plane” on Netflix<\/a> now<\/p>\n ‘Happy Gilmore 2’<\/p>\n Happy Gilmore 2 | Official Trailer | Netflix – YouTube Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n There\u2019s no doubt that \u201cHappy Gilmore 2\u201d isn\u2019t going to leave the legacy that its 1996 predecessor has enjoyed for almost three decades, but as far as streaming follow-ups to classic comedies go, this sequel is a passable effort. Trust me, this isn\u2019t another \u201cComing 2 America\u201d situation. Sandler slips back into the role of the always-angry golfer with ease, and while the cameos from real sports pros are a little stilted, there are a few good gags here.<\/p>\n The movie opens with Gilmore (Sandler) having retired from professional golf after a tragic accident on the course resulted in the death of his wife. Now an alcoholic who has lost everything, Gilmore gets a shot at redemption when he decides to step back onto the green to earn enough money to pay for his daughter\u2019s dream of attending ballet school in Paris. There\u2019s nothing highbrow about \u201cHappy Gilmore 2,\u201d but it\u2019s an easy weekend watch.<\/p>\n Watch “Happy Gilmore 2” on Netflix<\/a> now<\/p>\n ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’<\/p>\n KPop Demon Hunters | Official Trailer | Netflix – YouTube Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n Usually, at this point in the year, the number of Netflix No. 1 movies would be significantly higher, but the reason that 2025 hasn\u2019t followed this observable trend is all down to one movie: \u201cK-Pop Demon Hunters.\u201d This juggernaut fantasy musical has held the No. 1 spot for a cumulative eight weeks since its release in June, and even when it\u2019s been dethroned, it only vacates the throne for a brief period of time before returning to the top 10 summit.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a certified Netflix sensation. Not just the most-watched Netflix movie of 2025, but the most-watched Netflix original movie in the platform’s history, taking the crown from long-reigning champion, 2021\u2019s \u201cRed Notice.\u201d And it\u2019s not even a close battle. “K-Pop” has scored over 325 million views (\u201cRed Notice\u201d has 230 million) in less than four months. You probably don\u2019t need me to give you a rundown of this one, but it follows the fictional K-pop group Huntr\/x as they sell out arenas by day and hunt sinister demons by night.<\/p>\n The animated movie holds a 95% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, which is impressive enough, but it’s the almost-perfect 99% viewers’ score that tells you how much Netflix subscribers love this one. If you haven\u2019t watched it multiple times already, get “K-Pop Demon Hunters” in your watchlist now.<\/p>\n Watch “K-Pop Demon Hunters” on Netflix<\/a> now<\/p>\n Every Netflix No. 1 movie in 2025 (so far)”Carry-On””Despicable Me 2″”Back in Action””Kinda Pregnant””Aftermath””To Catch a Killer””Venom: The Last Dance””Despicable Me 4″”The Electric State””Den of Thieves 2 Pantera””The Life List””iHostage””Havoc””Exterritorial””Nonnas”\u201cUntold: The Fall of Favre\u201d\u201cThe Wild Robot\u201d\u201cTyler Perry\u2019s Straw\u201d\u201cPlane\u201d\u201cTrainwreck Poop Cruise\u201d\u201cThe Old Guard 2\u201d\u201cTyler Perry\u2019s Madea\u2019s Destination Wedding\u201d\u201cHappy Gilmore 2\u201d\u201cK-Pop Demon Hunters\u201d\u201cUnknown Number: The High School Catfish\u201d\u201cIce Road: Vengeance\u201d\u201cThe Woman in Cabin 10\u201d<\/p>\n Follow Tom’s Guide on Google News<\/a> and add us as a preferred source<\/a> to get our up-to-date news, analysis, and reviews in your feeds.
