Top 3 Must-Watch Movies on Netflix Right Now
The top 10 movies on Netflix are always changing, yet some titles consistently remain popular.
Netflix’s original action feature Exterritorial has secured the No. 1 spot for the second consecutive week, accompanied by two of the Twilight films.
Watch With Us has curated the top 10 list, highlighting three must-watch movies right now.
This week’s recommendations include a long-awaited sequel, another Netflix original action film, and a surprisingly overlooked sci-fi comedy featuring Seth Rogen.
‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ (2024)
Wednesday star Jenna Ortega seems tailor-made for a Tim Burton film after her success with the director in that popular Netflix series. It’s fitting that their first major collaboration, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, is now available on Netflix ahead of Wednesday season 2. Ortega portrays Astrid Deetz, the teenage daughter of the original film’s leading lady, Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder). The relationship between Astrid and Lydia is strained, as Astrid doubts her mother’s ability to see ghosts.
Upon returning to Winter River, Connecticut, for Lydia’s father’s funeral, Astrid learns the harsh truth about her mother’s gift: ghosts do exist. When Astrid is lured into the afterlife, Lydia is compelled to seek help from Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), who still pines for her three decades later. Beetlejuice is also pursued by his vindictive ex-wife, Delores LaFerve (Monica Bellucci), who knows how to terminate a ghost.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is currently streaming on Netflix.
‘Havoc’ (2025)
For his second Netflix original film, The Raid director Gareth Evans enlisted some high-profile actors, including Tom Hardy, Timothy Olyphant, and Forest Whitaker. However, Hardy takes the lead role as Patrick Walker, a cop ensnared by the future mayoral candidate, Lawrence Beaumont (Whitaker), who has leverage that could jeopardize Walker’s career.
There’s always an abundance of action movies on Netflix, but finding a standout action flick can occasionally be a challenge. Although Netflix has produced numerous original action films, many aren’t particularly impressive or worth watching.
Walker becomes invaluable to Beaumont as he attempts to shield his son, Charlie (Justin Cornwell), and Charlie’s partner, Mia (Quelin Sepulveda), who have been framed for the murder of a Triad leader and caught in a gang war. Beaumont expects Walker to locate Charlie and ensure his safety, yet he should have called for backup, as the Triads are seizing control of the city and Beaumont is next on their list.
Havoc is available for streaming on Netflix.
‘Paul’ (2011)
The titular character of Paul is a little grey alien, voiced by Seth Rogen, who is drastically different from E.T. After years in U.S. custody, Paul seeks to complete one final mission on Earth before returning home. However, to evade Special Agent Lorenzo Zoil (Jason Bateman), he requires assistance from two sci-fi enthusiasts, Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost).
Initially, Clive and Graeme find Paul’s crude behavior off-putting, but they quickly become friends. Paul reveals some of his extraordinary abilities that make him a target for the Big Guy (Sigourney Weaver), who is determined not to let him escape.
Paul is currently streaming on Netflix.
