Movies starring Adam Sandler, J.Lo and Spider-Man were among the most popular on Netflix this month.
The top 10 list of June 2022's most-viewed movies on the streaming platform includes Netflix originals like Spiderhead, Hustle and Halftime. A classic Tom Cruise movie, meanwhile, got a huge viewership bump thanks to the continued success of Top Gun: Maverick. Another popular film was a legendary '90s film being discovered by a new generation for the first time.
One of the films mentioned above was the month's most-watched—per Flix Patrol—but which was it? Read on to find out which movies Netflix subscribers were most drawn to this month.
The 10 most-watched movies on Netflix in June 2022
10. Disappearance at Clifton Hill
No, this isn't another addition in the Haunting of Hill House/Bly Manor franchise. Instead, Disappearance at Clifton Hill stars Tuppence Middleton as a woman who's investigating a potential kidnapping after she inherits a motel. It sounds like a typical movie plot, but amazingly it's based on a story from the director's own life.
9. It
Call it the Stranger Things effect: following the release of the show's most recent installment, viewers wanted more '80s Stephen King-inflected horror starring Finn Wolfhard. With this 2017 King adaptation, they got it.
8. Titanic
It looks like '90s kids aren't ready to throw Titanic in the ocean just yet. The movie's 25th anniversary may not be until this December, but its fans are celebrating early by rewatching James Cameron's epic disaster movie.
7. Halftime
Jennifer Lopez's Oscar snub for Hustlers may be one of the worst in Academy Award history, but it has certainly made for a fascinating documentary. Halftime tells the story of J.Lo's awards campaign for that movie, but also the rehearsals for her all-time great Super Bowl performance. Now give us the Bennifer follow-up doc!
6. Spiderhead
Its name might sound like a bad pitch for a James Bond movie, but clearly this Chris Hemsworth and Miles Teller sci-fi team has its fans. The film, about a prison experimenting with drugs on its inmates, also likely got a Top Gun bump: it stars not only Maverick co-star Teller, but is also directed by that film's Joseph Kosinski.
5. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
Speaking of Top Gun, fans of that film have also been returning to the Cruise catalogue. However, this movie at No. 5 is the one to have made the Netflix top 10 most-viewed chart. With M:I7 still a year away, it gives franchise fans their Ethan Hunt fix.
4. Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness
Is it a chicken? Is it a hare? No, it's...well, kind of both in this animation about an adventure-loving chicken-hare hybrid and his band of animal friends. If you have kids, you've probably seen this on repeat for the last month.
3. Interceptor
Netflix may increasingly be coaxing over big actors to appear in its originals, but sometimes it's the C-list projects that subscribers embrace. So it is with Interceptor, starring Elsa Pataky as a woman fighting off terrorists at a missile interceptor facility in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
2. The Amazing Spider-Man
If there was one winner in No Way Home (apart from the companies that got us to cough up $1.9 billion to watch it), it was Andrew Garfield. Generally considered the worst of the Spider-Men, viewers have been reconsidering his first outing as the character since it came to Netflix.
1. Hustle
Adam Sandler is the undisputed king of Netflix, with his movies on the service like Murder Mystery, The Ridiculous 6 and Hubie Halloween regularly among the most-watched. And so, if the actor asks them to essentially let him cosplay as a basketball coach for two hours, who are they to say no?
