Best movies in the Netflix top 10
‘Karol G: Tomorrow was Beautiful’ (2025)
Reggaeton singer Karol G has been breaking barriers as a Latina in the music industry. Now fans get to see a more personal side of the Colombian singer’s life in Netflix’s latest documentary, which follows her whirlwind, record-breaking stadium tour and gives fans a touching inside look at her journey bringing her album “Mañana Será Bonito” to life.
So it’s little wonder “Karol G: Tomorrow Was Beautiful” crashed the Netflix’s top 10 list just days after debuting on the streamer. It has many of the familiar beats you’d expect from a music documentary, but Karol’s candid discussions about the less glamorous aspects of being a pop star offer an interesting glimpse into a world few ever get to see.
She opens up about the darker moments of her career, the struggles of being a woman in music, and the anxiety she faces every time she performs. By the end of it, even the most skeptical reggaeton fans will be rooting for her success, as her passion for her craft is on full display throughout the documentary.

‘Heart Eyes’ (2025)
Slasher films are a dime a dozen, but a Valentine’s Day-themed slasher film? Now that I gotta see. I missed “Heart Eyes” in the theaters back in February, so when I saw it land on Netflix this week, it jumped to the top of my must-watch list.
I’m happy to say it was an absolute treat. The biggest jumpscare came at the end, though, when I saw Josh Ruben, a name any Dropout or College Humor fan will recognize, was in the director’s chair. His love of romcoms and horror comes through loud and clear.
The premise is hokey but fun: Each year on Valentine’s Day, a masked serial killer known as Heart Eyes terrorizes couples, leaving a trail of brutal murders across the country. But this time, he messes with the wrong pair.
For starters, they’re not even a couple. Not yet, anyway, though it won’t be long given all the meet-cute romcom movie magic propelling them into each other’s orbit. Ally (Olivia Holt), an ad designer recovering from a recent breakup, is forced to work with her hopeless romantic colleague Jay (Mason Gooding) on a big project. But when Heart Eyes mistakenly targets them as the next victims, they find themselves caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

‘Last Bullet’ (2025)
After high-octane originals like “Bullet Train Explosion” and Tom Hardy’s “Havoc,” Netflix just rolled out another explosive thriller, “Last Bullet,” that’s already crashed the top 10. It’s technically the third film in the “Lost Bullet” French action trilogy, but it does a decent job of getting new viewers up to speed, so you can easily watch it on its own without getting lost.
Directed by Guillaume Pierret, “Last Bullet” follows Lino (Alban Lenoir), a former convict and skilled mechanic turned vigilante, as he seeks vengeance for the murder of his mentor, Charas. Haunted by the loss, Lino sets out to bring down Commander Resz (Gérard Lanvin) and his one-time partner Areski (Nicolas Duvauchelle), whose betrayal sparked a deadly chain of events.
Joined by his trusted ally Julia (Stéfi Celma), Lino embarks on a relentless chase after Areski, who’s now hiding in France with Resz also hot on his tail. As the pair closes in on their mark, Lino and Julia must navigate shifting loyalties and high-stakes confrontations before time runs out.
