It's the last weekend of June, and it's certainly feeling like summer these days. With this heat wave showing no signs of stopping, the best streaming services are making it more tempting than ever to hide out in the glorious AC of our living rooms.

I check out the Netflix top 10 to see which movies everyone's watching and highlight only the best of the best. Making the cut this week are an unhinged buddy comedy starring John Cena and Eric André, a horrifying true crime documentary about the lengths one women will go to become a mother, and a breezy but affecting romcom led by Zoey Deutch.
Not feeling any of these picks? No worries: Our guide to everything new on Netflix this month has plenty more recommendations on what to watch. So without further ado, here are the three must-watch movies in Netflix’s top 10 this weekend. Enjoy!

Best movies in the Netflix top 10
'Little Brother' (2026)
As a big fan of both "The Eric André Show" and John Cena's unhinged straight man brand of humor ("Peacemaker" was one of my favorite shows last year), Netflix's new buddy comedy "Little Brother" shot to the top of my watchlist this weekend. Clearly I'm not alone, as it's currently sitting at the No. 1 spot in the Netflix top 10.
Cena stars as successful real estate agent Rudd, whose stable — if less-than-fulfilling — life is thrown into disarray when his former mentee Marcus (Eric André) unexpectedly crashes back into it at the worst possible moment. A chaos magnet with a knack for turning every situation into a catastrophe, Marcus leaves Rudd scrambling to clean up the mess. Based on the trailer, "Little Brother" leans heavily into slapstick, pairing Cena's perpetually exasperated straight-man performance with André's off-the-wall energy.

'Maternal Instinct' (2026)
Netflix subscribers can't seem to get enough true-crime documentaries, and few recent cases are as shocking as the murder of Reagan Simmons-Hancock. It's little surprise, then, that "Maternal Instinct" is still hanging strong in the Netflix Top 10 for the third weekend in the row.
The documentary follows the disturbing case of Taylor Parker, a young woman desperate to build a family with her boyfriend, Wade Griffin, a hog trapper from small-town Texas. When Parker is pulled over by a state trooper in 2020 with a newborn in tow, she claims she just gave birth in her car. But with not a spec of blood in sight, investigators quickly uncover a horrifying crime that reveals just how far she was willing to go to fulfill her dream of becoming a mother. For true-crime fans, "Maternal Instinct" is a gripping and deeply unsettling watch with twists that are almost impossible to believe.

'Voicemails for Isabelle' (2026)
With an 84% critics score and even more glowing 91% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, "Voicemails for Isabelle" is shaping up to be one of Netflix's biggest hits of the year. Thankfully, it's a step above some of Netflix's weaker recent rom-coms, like "Office Romance" and "Ladies First."
San Francisco chef Jill (Zoey Deutch) is struggling to move on after the death of her sister, Isabelle (Ciara Bravo), and copes by leaving heartfelt voicemails on Isabelle's old phone number. What Jill doesn't realize is that the number has been reassigned to Wes (Nick Robinson), a real estate agent in Austin. As he quietly listens to her candid, messages, Wes finds himself falling for a woman he's never met, and he engineers a seemingly spontaneous meet-cute with Jill to get her to fall for him. None of these story beats are especially original, but they're handled well enough to make for an enjoyable watch.
