IMDb Top 10 Movies 2025: IMDb has released the top movies of 2025 according to them. Here are the ten most popular films of 2025, ranked by their performance
on the IMDbPro MOVIEmeter chart—an index based on what over 250 million monthly IMDb visitors are searching and clicking on. From Superman, to Sinners, Weapons and Jurassic Park, some of the best-loved movies made it to the list. Below, we break down the year’s biggest titles along with the streaming platforms where you can watch them.
No 1 Film: Superman
Where To Watch: Prime Video
IMDb Rating: 7.1
When Superman hit theatres this summer, Kal-El found himself fighting two battles. One was against villains in Metropolis, but the bigger battle was against a real-world superhero-fatigue. However, James Gunn’s first chapter in the new DC Universe emerged as a solid box office success. Tasked with reintroducing Clark Kent and overcoming the growing wave of superhero weariness, the reboot dominated charts during the first two weeks in global release. It even surged back into the top 10 in September once it arrived on streaming. After crossing the $600 million mark worldwide, the sequel Man of Tomorrow was fast-tracked for July 2027, with David Corenswet set to reprise the role again.

No 2 Film: Weapons
Where To Watch: Prime Video
IMdb Rating: 7.5
In a year that celebrated original horror in cinema, Weapons managed to make a mark with its gripping mystery, structure, and visual style. The low-budget shocker became an instant sensation after its August release, shattering expectations and raking in $100 million within two weeks. Amy Madigan along with an ensemble cast delivered explosive performances. Needless to say, Zach Cregger’s second feature has leapt beyond the screen to become a full-fledged pop culture phenomenon.
No 3 Film: Sinners
Where To Watch: JioHotstar And Prime Video
IMDb Rating: 7.6
Ryan Coogler’s supernatural epic smashed box office records to become both the fifth highest-grossing horror film ever and one of 2025’s biggest domestic hits. The film is expected to rule Oscar 2026 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, and Original Screenplay.
No 4 Film: One Battle After Another
Where To Watch: Prime Video
IMDb Rating: 7.9
Paul Thomas Anderson’s nearly three-hour saga of revolution and resistance against systemic oppression earned widespread critical acclaim, with praise for its timely screenplay and a third-act car chase that critics called one of Anderson’s boldest set pieces. The film boasted an ensemble cast, led by Leonardo DiCaprio as a former rebel-turned-stoner pulled back into action to rescue his kidnapped daughter.
No 5 Film: Jurassic World: Rebirth
Where To Watch: JioHotstar, Zee5, Prime Video
IMDb Rating: 5.9
Steven Spielberg brought in the OG Jurassic Park and The Lost World screenwriter David Koepp for this standalone sequel that saw Scarlett Johansson entering the dino-verse along with Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali. The film was helmed by Gareth Edwards and raked in $870 million worldwide.

No 6 Film: Frankenstein
Where To Watch: Netflix
IMDb Rating: 7.5
Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, despite having a minimal theatrical presence, exploded into a full-blown cultural phenomenon once it debuted on Netflix in early November, and it has barely budged from the top tier of IMDb’s MOVIEmeter chart since. Jacob Elordi loomed large as the Creature in this Gothic meditation on forgiveness, and the film’s daring final act left audiences absolutely stunned.
No 7 Film: Happy Gilmore 2
Where To Watch: Netflix
IMDb Rating: 6.1
Adam Sandler's nostalgic dive into the films of the 1990s became an instant hit on Netflix. The film which starred Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, Ben Stiller and even Bad Bunny was hilarious and a perfect no-brainer watch.
No 8 Film: Thunderbolts
Where To Watch: JioHotstar
IMDb Rating: 7.1
Who knew a depressed band of superheroes would bring back audiences to theatres. The film, starring Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Lewis Pullman, Wyatt Russell and David Harbour (Stranger Things fame) in the lead role saw extremely favourable reviews from both audiences and critics.
No 9 Film: Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning
Where To Watch: Prime Video, Zee5
IMDb Rating: 7.2
Moviegoers, for years, have flocked to theatres to watch Tom Cruise pull off some of the most jaw-dropping stunts on screen. In his latest outing, the Hollywood icon shot scenes inside an 8.5-million-litre water tank while breathing his own recycled carbon dioxide, then clung to a 1930s Boeing Stearman biplane at 10,000 feet, soaring at 120 miles per hour. It’s a pretty spectacular farewell to the action franchise that has kept Cruise at the top of the game for three decades.
No 10 Film: F1 The Movie
Where To Watch: Not On OTT Yet
IMDb Rank: 7.7
Brad Pitt collaborated with Top Gun: Maverick dirfector Joseph Kosiski for this film based on F1 racing. The film had a stop-notch supporting talent in Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon and Damson Idris.
