1 spot this year.
1 in the Netflix top 10 most-watched list.
But to be frank, so far this year, a lot of garbage has secured the title.
That’s why Im picking out the small handful of movies that have scored Netflix No.
1 in 2025 that are actually worth adding to your watchlist.
Best Netflix No.
1 spot through the first week of January.
Both are pretty flawed but have their bright spots along the way.
Plus, this one includes Ben Mendelsohn, a very underrated actor.
Here, he plays the head of an FBI task force attempting to catch an unidentified serial killer.
Theres nothing all that original about To Catch a Killer.
1 spot in the U.S., The Life List," stand out.
Granted, “The Life List” only stands out when compared to the other Netflix No.
1 movies so far in 2025.
This rom-com certainly doesn’t appear fresh when compared to its genre contemporaries.
Its about as safe as they come.
Fortunately, it’s glossy and feel-good enough to be just about worth watching in a pinch.
Though, it’s a shame it runs a ludicrous two hours instead of a tight 90 minutes.
This one really should have been short.
