In the world of streaming, Netflix continues to dominate with a diverse range of content that caters to every taste. Here's a round-up of the top 10 movies currently gracing the platform in the U.S., as of 11:00 a.m. ET on Sunday, August 9.
K-Pop Demon Hunters (2025) takes the crown as the most-watched movie on Netflix. This animated adventure film, produced by Sony Pictures Animation, follows a trio of demon hunters as they battle against demons disguised as a rival boy band. The film features chart-topping superstars Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, who are demon hunters, and Reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny plays Happy's caddy in the movie, delivering numerous quotable one-liners.
Another notable entry in Netflix's top 10 is Radio (2003), a feel-good sports drama that has entered the list this week. The movie centres on the friendship between James "Radio" Kennedy, a mentally disabled man, and Harold Jones, the team's coach, played by Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ed Harris, respectively.
Fans of Adam Sandler will be delighted to know that Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) is also available for streaming on Netflix. Sandler reprises his role as the washed-up Happy Gilmore, now a dad struggling to pay for his daughter's ballet school. The sequel features a new rival, an upstart league called Maxi Golf, whose CEO is played by Benny Safdie, a longtime-Sandler collaborator.
Aside from Netflix's top 10 list, some highly recommended streaming titles on Netflix as of August 2025 include:
- Alice in Borderland: A thrilling series about a man trapped in an alternate Tokyo competing for survival, adapted from a popular manga.
- Stranger Things: Netflix’s biggest hit with its full Season 4 available, featuring new villains and characters alongside familiar favourites.

These represent a mix of genres and styles beyond Netflix’s trending top 10, spanning suspense, drama, comedy, and international series, providing strong options for viewers seeking quality content.
Lastly, it's worth mentioning that the movie's plot of K-Pop Demon Hunters revolves around Harold's dedication to involving Radio with the team as its unofficial cheerleader, which is later revealed to be due to a personal reason.
