Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Netflix | July 27-August 2, 2025

Happy Gilmore can’t skate, can’t shoot, and can’t control his temper—but give him a golf club and an open course, and suddenly the guy’s unstoppable.

Adam Sandler’s breakout sports comedy is pure chaos: a failed hockey player with a wicked slapshot and no filter goes all-in on the PGA Tour to save his grandma’s house. There’s a one-armed mentor (Carl Weathers), a furious rival (Shooter McGavin), and a price-is-right fistfight that lives in meme history.

It’s crude, loud, endlessly quotable, and somehow still holds up. Watch it again for the nostalgia—or for the first time to see why it launched a franchise.

2. Happy Gilmore 2 (2025)

He’s older. He’s angrier. He’s back.

Happy Gilmore 2 finds our golf-swinging maniac returning to the green to help his daughter chase her own dream. But of course, the past shows up swinging—Shooter McGavin’s still lurking, and yes, there’s a new wave of chaos, cameos, and club-throwing tantrums.

Sandler’s real-life daughter joins the cast, and the celebrity lineup is wild: Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce, even Eminem. It’s less about the plot, more about the spectacle—and the movie knows it.

Is it dumb? Absolutely. But that’s part of the charm.

3. KPop Demon Hunters (2025)

By day, they’re global pop icons. By night, they’re slaying demons with magic and choreography. Welcome to KPop Demon Hunters.

This animated blast follows Rumi, Mira, and Zoey—three idols who drop stadium anthems and supernatural beatdowns with equal flair. When a demonic uprising threatens their fans, they don’t just dance through it—they go full girl group exorcist mode.

The visuals are electric, the soundtrack slaps, and the messaging leans into empowerment without getting preachy. Kids will love the sparkle. Adults will catch the satire.

It’s Sailor Moon meets BTS. You know you’re curious.

4. A Normal Woman (2025)

A glamorous socialite. A strange illness. And a slow, terrifying loss of control.

This Indonesian psychological thriller peels back layers of identity, vanity, and reputation as a mysterious disease threatens to unravel one woman’s perfect life. The worse she gets, the more secrets start to surface—and nothing is quite what it seems.

It’s a slow burn, but the payoff hits. And Marissa Anita? She’s incredible.

If you’re in the mood for something moody, stylish, and just a little unsettling, this one’s worth the tension.

5. Brick (2025)

One morning, an entire apartment building wakes up to find a massive brick wall sealing them inside. No doors. No exits. Just bricks—and panic.

This German thriller leans hard into claustrophobia and paranoia as neighbors scramble to escape, turning on each other when cooperation starts to crack. Think 10 Cloverfield Lane meets The Platform—with a European edge.

It’s fast, creepy, and unsettling in all the right ways. You may never look at drywall the same again.

6. Wall to Wall (2025)

Buying your dream apartment shouldn’t feel like a horror movie. But in Wall to Wall, it absolutely does.

A man spends his life savings on a shiny new flat—only to find out the walls are thin, the neighbors are weird, and the place might be hiding something way worse than mold. Welcome to South Korea’s most stressful real estate thriller.

It’s stylish, biting, and seriously tense. If Parasite and The Shining had a baby in Seoul, this would be it.

7. Lost on a Mountain in Maine (2024)

Twelve-year-old Donn Fendler wanted to hike back to camp. He ended up lost in the Maine wilderness for nine days. And somehow? He survived.

Based on a true story from 1939, Lost on a Mountain in Maine is less action spectacle, more emotional gut punch. It’s about fear, instinct, and a kid fighting through nature—and himself.

It’s quiet, honest, and way more intense than you’d expect from a PG-rated survival film. Bring tissues. Maybe a compass.

8. Almost Family (2025)

A Brazilian dad meets his daughter’s Argentine in-laws. What follows? Petty insults, cultural shade, and an escalating war over who’s more “family.”

Almost Family is your classic in-law vacation comedy—now with international flair and a snow-covered trip to Bariloche. The dads square off. The kids roll their eyes. And yes, there’s a skiing accident.

It’s broad, it’s goofy, and it’s not trying to win awards. But if you’re into family dysfunction with subtitles, it delivers.

9. The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

Mario and Luigi are just two Brooklyn plumbers—until they fall through a pipe into a kingdom of talking mushrooms, angry turtles, and banana-throwing gorillas.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie doesn’t reinvent the wheel—it just adds glitter, lava, and Jack Black singing about peaches. Chris Pratt voices Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy is Peach, and Seth Rogen shows up as a very chill Donkey Kong.

It’s fast, loud, and packed with Easter eggs. If you’ve ever yelled at a blue shell, this one’s for you.

10. The Old Guard 2 (2025)

Immortal warriors. New villains. Same trench coats.

The Old Guard 2 brings Charlize Theron’s unkillable squad back for another round of globe-hopping action. There’s betrayal. Flashbacks. And a new enemy who might be more powerful than any of them.

But here’s the thing: it kind of feels like setup for The Old Guard 3. The action hits, the cast is stacked—but it doesn’t quite land the emotional punch the first one had.

If you loved part one, you’ll probably still show up. Just don’t expect all the answers.

And That’s a Wrap

There you have it—ten Netflix picks that cover everything from golf-club tantrums (Happy Gilmore 2) to K-pop idols slaying demons (KPop Demon Hunters). You’ve got throwback classics (Happy Gilmore), buzzy animation, haunted apartments, survival stories, and even Mario stomping on turtles like it’s 1986.

Craving something international? Dive into South Korea’s apartment-from-hell thriller (Wall to Wall) or a cross-cultural family feud with Almost Family. Want something quieter? Lost on a Mountain in Maine will hit you right in the soul. And for the action junkies? Charlize Theron’s got you covered in The Old Guard 2.

Whether you’re laughing, hiding behind the couch, or just riding the nostalgia wave, this week’s lineup is loaded.

Open the app. Hit play. Embrace the binge.
