Grab a tub of popcorn and plop yourself on the couch to enjoy these movies!

Extraction
Extraction was launched this year amid lockdown on April 24, ready to draw in all the theatre-goers who moved online. As expected, it got 99 million views in the first 4 weeks. The movie is an action-packed thriller starring Chris Hemsworth. The plot revolves around a black-market mercenary who’s hired to bring back the kidnapped son of an international crime lord who is behind bars. With Netflix viewership soaring during the lockdown, it isn’t surprising that this brilliant American action-thriller is the most-watched movie on Netflix.

Bird Box
We bet you’ve come across this film’s unforgettable trailer at least one. Bird Box is the most well-received Netflix original and was an absolute blockbuster when launched. Its high viewership probably came from Sandra Bullock’s wide fan base. Who isn’t a Sandra Bullock fan, right? After all, she’s one of the most talented actresses we know! A post-apocalyptic horror-thriller, the movie is centered around Sandra Bullock’s character, a mother, protecting her children from ghastly supernatural beings that drive people into insanity when their eyes meet.

The Irishman
This film with legendary, class-apart actors was sure to draw our attention. Starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci, it couldn’t get any more classic. The Irishman was an expensive Netflix production that garnered a massive viewership. The film was written by Steven Zaillian, the brilliant Oscar-winning screenwriter. So, this one is really a no-brainer if you’re looking for an epic crime film to watch this weekend.

Murder Mystery
This is a goofy comedy, and the plot revolves around a couple who gets caught in a conspiracy while they are vacationing. Murder Mystery stars the stunning Jennifer Anniston and Adam Sandler, along with Luke Evans. The film became one of Netflix’s top-watched movies, garnering 73 million views in only the first 4 weeks.

6 Underground
A-listed stars and big action seems to be the formula for a hit film among Netflix viewers. 6 Underground became a hit last December, and while critics were too harsh on it, the at-home viewers embraced it. The film stars Ryan Reynolds after all, who has a fan base huge enough to drive a film to success. An action-thriller, it revolves around six people with unique skills who are specially chosen due to their desire to erase the past and write a new future.
