Netflix has so much movies that it can take longer to browse the options and select a title than to actually watch something. Once in a while, however, millions and millions of people around the world watch the same movie at the same time, creating a cultural touchstone of sorts. Netflix ranks the popularity of movies on their platform according to the numbers of hours watched within the first 28 days of their release. While some movies may prove successful over time, these movies proved massively popular as soon as they were available.
