Top 10 Movies On Netflix In The U.S. - May 16, 2022
Australian actor and former Pitch Perfect cast member Rebel Wilson has proven that she is still as funny and popular as ever as the lead of the most popular movie on Netflix (for the third day in a row). The funny, nostalgic high school flick, Senior Year, also stars Angrourie Rice as her younger self. Right behind it is the harrowing true crime doc Our Father, Lucy Hale-led Neo-Western Borrego (switching place with World War II drama Operation Mincemeat from yesterday), and Spanish comedy The Perfect Family jumping a couple spots higher from yesterday, too. Following Marmaduke and Den of Thieves - which shifted positions very slightly - the order of the bottom three spots is the same as the day before with classic ‘90s movies Happy Gilmore, U.S. Marshals, and Forrest Gump rounding things out.
