The Top 10 Most Popular Movies on Netflix Today, May 27

Netflix's Daily Top 10 Movies list for Friday, May 27 is almost the same as yesterday's list. And with no movies coming to Netflix this weekend — the streaming service cleared the lane for Stranger Things 4 — the ranking is likely to be pretty much the same until a new batch of licensed movies arrives on June 1. No. 1 is Jackass 4.5, a collection of deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes interviews from spiritually cleansing stunt comedy Jackass Forever. No. 2 is vineyard-themed rom-com A Perfect Pairing, starring Victoria Justice and Adam Demos. No. 3 is Rebel Wilson's comedy Senior Year, which is Netflix's most successful original comedy film of the year so far. The only new title on the list is My Little Pony: Make Your Mark at No. 10, which, at only 45 minutes long, is really more of a TV special than a movie.

But which films in Netflix's Top 10 list of the most popular movies are worth watching? We break down the entire Netflix Top 10 Movies list and guide you through what to binge and what to skip. We do the same for Netflix's Top 10 TV shows, as well as Netflix's overall Top 10 list. We also have recommendations for the best movies on Netflix and the best TV shows on Netflix to watch right now.

Based on Netflix's Top 10 Movies from Friday, May 27

1. Jackass 4.5 

For fans of: Dudes, laughing and cringing simultaneously, mortality | Is it good?: It rules, as does every Jackass installment

The whole Jackass crew takes you behind the scenes of 2022's Jackass Forever, showing many of the wild, elaborate stunts that were cut out of the final movie, and expanding on the process behind them. It's essentially a movie made up of DVD extras, but you won't catch us complaining about that. (Yesterday's rank: 1)

2. A Perfect Pairing

For fans of: The Simple Life, cowboy hats, ranches | Is it good?: It's definitely not Netflix's worst original rom-com

Victoria Justice plays a Los Angeles sommelier who tries to secure a new client by traveling to Australia to work on their farm, doing manual labor for the first time in her life. And as if that weren't crazy enough, she also strikes up a bond with the hot ranch hand (Adam Demos). I wonder how this one will work out. (Yesterday's rank: 2)

3. Senior Year 

For fans of: Adults in high school, comas | Is it good?: Nah

Rebel Wilson is back! Did you miss her? Well, in any case, here's a movie where she plays a cheerleader who falls into a coma for 20 years and wakes up as a 37-year-old woman, ready to finish high school. You'd think they'd let her do it online or something, but then we wouldn't have this movie, would we? It's a pretty big stinker, but Sam Richardson is in it, and I love seeing him in stuff. (Yesterday's rank: 3)

4. Top Gun

For fans of: Tom Cruise, '80s blockbusters, fighter jets | Is it good?: Oh hell yeah dude

Tom Cruise stars in this iconic movie about a hotshot jet pilot. It's one of the biggest movies of the '80s, with a cultural legacy so strong that the sequel coming out more than 35 years later is going to be a huge hit. (Yesterday's rank: 5)

5. Ben Is Back 

For fans of: Julia Roberts, addiction stories | Is it good?: It has great performances and isn't overly sentimental

Julia Roberts plays the mother of a drug-addicted young man (Lucas Hedges) who comes home from rehab. She's happy to see him and wants him to get well, but she doesn't trust him, and for good reason. This is a sad, well-acted family drama about addiction. (Yesterday's rank: 4)

6. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

For fans of: Production design, being a little uncomfortable | Is it good?: Quality is in the eye of the beholder with this one

Johnny Depp is a really creepy Willy Wonka in Tim Burton's 2005 adaptation of Roald Dahl's famous novel. Some people really like this movie, while others are skeeved out by Depp's aloof kinda Michael Jackson-y thing. It's one of the weirder blockbusters of the 2000s. (Yesterday's rank: 6)

What to Watch from Netflix's Overall Top 10

7. Our Father 

For fans of: 23andMe, evil doctors | Is it good?: It's so unsettling

Netflix churns out true crime documentaries faster than you can even say true crime, but Our Father is particularly chilling, in a Rosemary's Baby sort of way. It all starts with a woman taking a DNA test, which informs her that she has dozens of half-siblings and that they're all actually the children of a fertility doctor, who spent years secretly impregnating patients with his own sperm. Gross and terrifying. (Yesterday's rank: 7)

8. Toscana

For fans of: Middle-aged men getting their groove back | Is it good?: It's a nice little movie

This Danish drama follows an angry chef who inherits a castle in Italy after his father dies. He learns to forgive his father and himself for the things they've done wrong with the help of beautiful country, great food, and an Italian woman he knew when they were children and reconnects with. (Yesterday's rank: 8)

9. F--- Love Too 

For fans of: Bad rom-coms | Is it good?: Nee (that's Dutch for no)

In this Dutch romantic comedy sequel, a trio of women take a trip to Ibiza to get over the men who have done them wrong back home and meet some new boys. If you've seen a movie before, you can predict what happens. [Trailer] (Yesterday's rank: 9)

10. My Little Pony: Make Your Mark

For fans of: Friendship, magic | Is it good?: Sure

Magic has returned to Equestria after an interregnum, but not everyone is happy about it, so the ponies have to demonstrate why magic is cool and good in order to get everyone onboard. It's cute. The My Little Ponies have been around forever, and this is the standard thing. (Yesterday's rank: n/a)
