The top 9 movies on Netflix this week, from 'Monster' to 'Oxygen'
Every week, the streaming search engine Reelgood compiles for Insider a list of which movies have been most prominent on Netflix's daily top-10 lists that week.
Netflix counts a view if an account watches a movie or TV show for at least two minutes.
"The Mitchells vs. the Machines" repeated at the top spot this week.
New Netflix originals "Monster" and "Oxygen" also made the list.
9. "Oxygen" (2021, Netflix original)
Description: "After waking up in a cryogenic unit, Liz fights to survive and remember who she is before her oxygen runs out."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 93%

8. "Scarface" (1983)

Description: "A teenager's picture-perfect family is torn apart when he uncovers unnerving evidence of a serial killer close to home."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 78%
What critics said: "Skiles's film doesn't care so much if you think you know how it ends, even if you're right. It's all about twisting the knife in the process of confirming those fears." — Vulture
