Whether you’re into thrillers, rom-coms, or indie gems, there’s something worth hitting play on. Here’s your movie cheat sheet for August 31-September 6, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.
1. The Thursday Murder Club (2025)
Murder has never been this charming.
In this adaptation of Richard Osman’s bestseller, four retirees—played by Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie—meet weekly to dig into cold cases. But when a shady developer winds up dead, their amateur sleuthing turns dangerously real. Directed by Chris Columbus and produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin team, it’s a whip-smart mix of Knives Out intrigue and Best Exotic Marigold Hotel warmth.
2. Fall for Me (2025)
Vacation romance with a razor’s edge.
German director Sherry Hormann (Desert Flower) serves up a sun-drenched thriller set on Mallorca. Svenja Jung plays Lilli, a skeptical sister who suspects her sibling’s fiancé isn’t who he claims to be. Her suspicions unravel just as a magnetic stranger (Theo Trebs) pulls her into a whirlwind affair. Equal parts The Weekend Away and Fatal Attraction, it’s a glossy slow-burn that’ll keep you guessing.
3. Love Untangled (2025)
First love, 1990s-style.
Set in 1998 Busan, this Korean coming-of-age drama follows a teen girl (Shin Eun-soo) who straightens her curly hair to impress her crush—until a transfer student changes everything. With Gong Myung and Kang Mi-na rounding out the cast, director Namkoong Sun nails the bittersweet nostalgia of VHS-era romance. Fans of 20th Century Girl and Our Beloved Summer will feel right at home.
4. KPop Demon Hunters (2025)
Saving the world, one dance break at a time.
When they’re not selling out arenas, girl group Huntr/x moonlights as demon hunters protecting fans from supernatural chaos. Directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans fuse dazzling animation with a killer soundtrack, voiced by Arden Cho, Ji-young Yoo, and Daniel Dae Kim. Netflix reports it’s already their most-watched animated film ever. Think Turning Red meets Sailor Moon with stadium-sized spectacle.
5. KPop Demon Hunters: Sing-Along (2025)
Because once wasn’t enough.
This special sing-along edition of the animated smash lets fans belt their favorite tracks with on-screen lyrics and bonus fan-service moments. After selling out a one-weekend theatrical event, the karaoke-ready cut is now streaming. Grab your mic—this one’s built for repeat viewings and group watch parties.
6. Abandoned Man (2025)
Redemption comes with shadows.
From Turkish director Çağrı Vila Lostuvalı comes a brooding character drama about a former prisoner (Mert Ramazan Demir) trying to rebuild his life. But when an unexpected bond pulls him toward a shocking truth, his fragile second chance begins to crumble. Produced by Onur Güvenatam (The Gift), the film delivers raw performances and Istanbul grit reminiscent of Netflix’s Paper Lives.
7. Unknown Number: The High School Catfish (2025)
Every ping hides a secret.
From documentarian Skye Borgman (Abducted in Plain Sight) comes a chilling true-crime story of teenage harassment that spirals into a shocking revelation. A girl and her boyfriend are tormented by an anonymous number, but the investigation uncovers twists nobody saw coming. If American Nightmare kept you glued to your screen, this will, too.
8. The Northman (2022)
“I will avenge you, Father.”
Robert Eggers (The Lighthouse) brings Norse legend to brutal, hypnotic life in this sweeping revenge saga. Alexander Skarsgård stars as Amleth, a Viking prince avenging his murdered father, opposite Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Willem Dafoe. Shot across Iceland and Ireland, it’s part art-house, part blood-soaked epic—Gladiator by way of myth and madness.
9. 2 Hearts (2020)
A love story bigger than life.
Inspired by true events, this tearjerker follows two romances decades apart—one between college students (Jacob Elordi and Tiera Skovbye), the other between an older couple (Adan Canto and Radha Mitchell). Their stories collide through tragedy, organ donation, and hope. Bring tissues: if Clouds or Five Feet Apart broke you, this one will, too.
10. Planet Single: Greek Adventure (2025)
Sun, sea, and suspicion.
The hit Polish rom-com franchise heads to Greece, where five friends on vacation stumble into a detective-style caper. Agnieszka Więdłocha and Maciej Stuhr return, joined by Weronika Książkiewicz and Tomasz Karolak. With postcard-perfect scenery and a cheeky whodunit twist, it’s a breezy option for fans of Mamma Mia! and Love Wedding Repeat.
And That’s a Wrap
From the cozy crime capers of The Thursday Murder Club to the pulse-pounding spectacle of The Northman, Netflix is covering every mood this week. Need a laugh? Planet Single: Greek Adventure has you. Want chills? Unknown Number delivers. Craving spectacle? KPop Demon Hunters is a cultural juggernaut.
So dim the lights, grab some snacks, and settle in—the Top 10 Movies to Watch this week are stacked, no matter what you’re into.
