Happy Saturday, everyone. Alyse can’t be here this week to provide her usual expert eye on what to watch, so I’m (figuratively) stepping into her shoes to give my opinion on the top ten trending Netflix movies to help you sift the cinematic magic from the disappointing duds.Despite the critically panned “72 Hours” finally losing the number-one slot after two weeks, it’s somewhat slim pickings in the top ten. Still, I’ve picked out the best of the bunch: a gripping true crime documentary, an animated family comedy, and what one of our writers dubbed “one of the most underrated movies of 2024."(I would have highlighted “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, but Alyse flagged it last week when it first re-entered the charts, and I don’t want to look too unoriginal…).Of course, your tastes may differ, so you can see Netflix’s full top ten list for the weekend below. And if you’re new to Netflix, you should check in on our favorite five of the year so far, too.This article is based on Netflix's top 10 movies list in the U.S. as of Saturday, August 8, 2026.Best movies in the Netflix top 10‘In the Land of Saints & Sinners’ (2024)
