Netflix US Top 10 Movies 5/28

[Mark Jeffries]

Netflix is not putting out a service-wide daily Top 10 anymore, but two separate lists of movies and TV shows. Hence:

10.  F--K LOVE TOO--A Dutch sequel to a 2019 rom-com (you can figure out the title of the original).  It seems to be getting most of its viewing off of its title.

9.  OUR FATHER--An original documentary about a fertility doctor who inseminated his sperm into his patients without their consent.  And Maury's show is going off the air...

8.  MY LITTLE PONY:  MAKE YOUR MARK--Basically the pilot for a new CGI animated series continuing the story of the toy line.  Lauren Frost, whose "Friendship is Magic" take inspired a cult of adult male fans called "Bronies," doesn't seem to be involved with this version.

7.  TOSCANA--Netflix's first Danish original film (there was that detective show whose name I've forgotten), the story of a Michelin chef who reconsiders closing his dad's biz because of love was panned by the Danish critics, but...

6.  CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY--Tim Burton's 2005 remake of "Willy Wonka," with the lead played by someone who's in court right now and has fans who will not accept anything negative about him.

5.  BEN IS BACK--It's <Oprah> JULIA ROOOOBERRRRTS! </Oprah> in her 2018 drama in which she plays a mom dealing with her returning for the holidays son's drug addiction.  One of those that did better on video than in the theaters.

4.  JACKASS 4.5--The outtakes from "Jackass Forever," which is streaming on Paramount+ right now.  WTF, Brian Robbins?

3.  SENIOR YEAR--Rebel Wilson's been in a coma for 20 years, but that's not going to stop her from attending her senior prom, damn it!  OK millennial.

2.  A PERFECT PAIRING--Grownup Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice moves to Australia and falls in love with a bonzo sheep shearer.  Good on ya mate!  Focus on the Family wants you to know that this is no relation to a similarly-titled Hallmark Channel movie in various ways, many of which will want you to watch it over the Hallmark film.

1.  TOP GUN--Netflix subscribers feel the need--the need for speed.  I guess there's some sequel opening this past weekend in the multiplexes, as if anyone's bothered to go to them for the last two years.  This is also on Paramount+--WTF, Brian Robbins?  Ever hear of trying to get exclusivity?

Keep your feet...

I re-watched original Saturday in prep for the sequel; Netflix alerted me that it was going off service soon (was it 5/31?), so maybe the exclusivity to P+ is coming.

BTW, as someone who found the original to be only mildly watchable, I thought TG:Maverick was surprisingly good.

Yeah, the easiest way to make sure it's not a distant cousin of mine is to compare the number of u's and n's in the name.

As for either Top Gun, I only saw the first one on Top Gun because of a conference I was at, and I will be one of those over 50s not bothering with the second.  The new one may be amazing, but the first one makes Michael Bay look like an auteur and it kills any interest I might have had in a sequel.
