Top 3 Must-Watch Movies on Netflix (April 25-26)

If you’re tired of scrolling through Netflix or other streaming services and just want a good movie to watch, I’ve got you covered. At Tom’s Guide, we keep track of what’s trending on all major streaming platforms and regularly compile lists of recommendations for Netflix, Prime Video, and more. This weekend, Netflix has some great exclusives on its top 10 list, including a new survival thriller, an animated hit, and a recent R-rated comedy. I’ve narrowed it down to three movies that I think are worth adding to your watchlist. If none of these catch your interest, be sure to check out our guide to what’s new on Netflix this month for even more streaming suggestions.

First up is “Apex,” a survival thriller released on April 24. Directed by Baltasar Kormákur and starring Charlize Theron, it follows Sasha, a mountain climber who faces off against a ruthless serial killer. While it may not be the most original thriller, “Apex” is already a hit with subscribers, ranking as the most popular movie on Netflix shortly after its release.

Next, we have “KPop Demon Hunters,” an animated action/musical comedy from 2025. Despite any initial skepticism, this movie became Netflix’s most-watched film of all time for a reason—it’s definitely worth checking out.

So, if you’re looking for something new to watch this weekend, give these movies a try. And remember, there’s always more to explore on Netflix and other streaming platforms if you’re in need of more recommendations.
