Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Netflix | September 14-20, 2025

So you’re stuck in scrolling purgatory again, huh? Endlessly thumbing through Netflix, hoping something jumps out. We’ve been there. That’s why we pulled together the Top 10 Movies you would actually want to watch this week—no fluff, no filler. Whether you’re into thrillers, rom-coms, or indie gems, there’s something worth hitting play on. Here’s your movie cheat sheet for September 14-20, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.

aka Charlie Sheen (2025)

The man, the myth, the meltdown—and the comeback. Netflix’s two-part doc goes deep into Charlie Sheen’s wild ride: his Hollywood highs, public crash, HIV diagnosis, and now, seven years of sobriety. It’s packed with interviews from Denise Richards, Jon Cryer, Sean Penn, even Heidi Fleiss, but the real draw is Sheen himself, brutally candid and surprisingly self-aware. If you remember the “winning, tiger blood” era, this one feels like closing the loop.

The Wrong Paris (2025)

Paris, France? Nope—Paris, Texas. Miranda Cosgrove plays Dawn, who signs up for a dating show expecting the Eiffel Tower but ends up with cowboy boots and rodeos. What should’ve been a disaster turns into an unexpectedly sweet rom-com with Pierson Fodé as the rugged bachelor. Frances Fisher, Yvonne Orji, and Madison Pettis round out the cast. Think Emily in Paris meets Sweet Home Alabama, but with reality TV chaos baked in.

KPop Demon Hunters (2025)

This one broke the internet. A global K-pop girl group battles demons by night, slays arenas by day, and drops bangers in between. The soundtrack already landed a Billboard #1 single (“Golden”), and fans can’t get enough of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey balancing idol life with supernatural showdowns. Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, it’s flashy, heartfelt, and proudly extra—exactly the kind of animated spectacle you’d expect from something called KPop Demon Hunters.

KPop Demon Hunters: Sing-Along (2025)

Still humming the songs? Netflix read your mind. This special sing-along edition puts lyrics on screen so you can belt out every track—yes, including “Golden”—without shame. After sell-out karaoke-style screenings in theaters, the fan-fueled version is now streaming. Expect TikToks of living-room dance routines to spike again this week.

Unknown Number: The High School Catfish (2025)

Skye Borgman (Abducted in Plain Sight) is back with another unsettling true-crime story—this time about a Michigan teen tormented by anonymous texts that spiraled into something darker. The twist? The catfisher turned out to be someone far closer than anyone expected. Netflix viewers have been glued to this one since it dropped August 29, and for good reason—it’s equal parts chilling and heartbreaking.

Daddy’s Home (2015)

Sometimes you just want Ferrell vs. Wahlberg hijinks, and Daddy’s Home delivers. Will Ferrell is the mild-mannered stepdad; Mark Wahlberg is the cool, chaotic biological dad; and the kids are caught in the crossfire of competitive parenting. It’s broad, goofy, and occasionally cringey in that Ferrell way, but if you’re looking for easy laughs, this one still works.

Daddy’s Home 2 (2017)

The sequel ups the ante by throwing in the grandpas: John Lithgow as Ferrell’s overly affectionate dad, and Mel Gibson as Wahlberg’s grizzled, no-filter father. Add Christmas chaos, John Cena, and a lot of awkward bonding, and you’ve got a holiday comedy that’s louder, dumber, and—depending on your tolerance—possibly funnier than the first.

Shrek (2001)

What more can you say about Shrek? It redefined animated movies, won the very first Oscar for Best Animated Feature, and gave us Eddie Murphy’s Donkey yelling “in the morning, I’m making waffles!” It’s still as sharp, satirical, and strangely heartfelt as ever. Watching Shrek rescue Fiona (and skewer every fairy tale in sight) is comfort food cinema.

Shrek 2 (2004)

Most sequels don’t top the original—this one did. Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey meet the in-laws in Far Far Away, sparking drama with Fiona’s parents and a scheming Fairy Godmother. It gave us Puss in Boots, a karaoke-worthy “Holding Out for a Hero” sequence, and nearly a billion dollars at the box office. Two decades later, it still slaps.

Redeeming Love (2022)

For something slower and more heartfelt, this Gold Rush–era romance adapts Francine Rivers’ novel (itself inspired by the biblical story of Hosea). Abigail Cowen stars as Angel, a young woman scarred by exploitation, opposite Tom Lewis as a farmer who refuses to give up on her. It’s sweeping, earnest, and unapologetically faith-driven. Not for everyone, but if you want a tearjerker with a hopeful core, it’s worth the ride.

And That’s A Wrap

From Charlie Sheen’s unfiltered doc to demon-slaying K-pop idols, fish-out-of-water rom-coms, and the evergreen comfort of Shrek, Netflix is stacked with variety this week. Queue up what fits your mood—whether that’s laughing through Daddy’s Home 2 or clutching a pillow during Unknown Number.
