The Most Popular Movies Streaming on Netflix
Netflix, a popular streaming platform in current times, is loved for the myriad of content available for viewing. Apart from TV shows and movies, the streaming service also offers original web series and movies. Of the many films available on the streaming platform, here are the top watched movies on Netflix you can watch if you haven’t already:
- Extraction – 99 million views
In Extraction, Chris Hemsworth (Tyler Rake), the lead protagonist, plays an unabashed mercenary dealing in the black market. He has absolutely nothing to lose when he gets on board to rescue the kidnapped son of a jailed international crime lord. The very idea of venturing into the dark underworld that’s full of drug traffickers and weapon dealers is risky and life-altering for both Rake and the little boy. This is among the finest works of Sam Hargrave and has a running time of 116 minutes. It surely deserves to be on your watchlist. - Bird Box – 89 million views
When a strange force is out there decimating the population, there is only one sure thing – if you see them, you won’t live. So, the survivors have to take a conscious step to ensure that they do not come face-to-face with an entity that would try to take them down with their most dreaded fears. With a hope of a new beginning, a mother and her children embark on this dangerous journey. Along with her children, she makes the way into the woods, going all the way down to a river searching for the one place that could offer her a sanctuary. However, to make it to a safe place, they have to make the journey with their eyes blindfolded to ensure that they do not see the evil. With a runtime of 124 minutes, it is a must-watch movie with an exciting and gripping plotline. Watch it and you’ll know exactly why it’s one of the top watched movies on Netflix. - Spenser Confidential – 85 million views
Spenser Confidential is an action-comedy movie that released this year. With the direction of Peter Berg and screenplay by Brian Helgeland and Sean O’Keefe, the movie is beyond excellence for viewers who enjoy this genre. It is an adaptation of Robert B. Parker’s Wonderland novel by Ace Atkins, and it’s certainly interesting to watch ex-cop Spenser coming together with his no-nonsense mate, Hawk, to dig out the criminals behind the murder of two Boston-based police officers. With a runtime of 111 minutes, this American dramedy will keep you hooked through and through.
