This week, the most popular movies on Apple TV+ have seen some changes, with new titles gaining traction and established hits staying strong. Here’s a list of the most-watched movies, ranked from least to most popular.

‘Highest 2 Lowest’ (2025)

This gripping crime thriller reunites director Spike Lee and actor Denzel Washington for the fifth time, and for the first time in over fifteen years. It’s an American adaptation of Akira Kurosawa’s classic 1963 film, ‘High and Low’, which itself was inspired by the novel ‘King’s Ransom’. The film centers on a successful businessman who is thrown into turmoil when a kidnapping plot takes an unexpected turn, mistakenly targeting the son of his chauffeur. The movie stars Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, and ASAP Rocky, and also features Ice Spice making her first appearance in a feature film.

‘The Family Plan 2’ (2025)

Mark Wahlberg is back as Dan Morgan in this thrilling follow-up to the 2023 action-comedy. After trying to live a normal family life, Dan’s dangerous past resurfaces, pulling the entire Morgan family into another wild adventure across the country. The movie continues the blend of humor and intense action that made the first film so popular, with Michelle Monaghan returning as Dan’s wife, who’s now in on the action. As new dangers arise, the family must work together and use what they’ve learned to overcome a new wave of enemies.

‘The Lost Bus’ (2025)

Paul Greengrass directs this intense and true story of the 2018 Camp Fire, California’s most devastating wildfire. Matthew McConaughey plays Kevin McKay, a bus driver who bravely drives a bus full of children through the flames as the town of Paradise burns. The film centers on their frightening and confined escape, showcasing the courage of McKay and teacher Mary Ludwig (Jamie Lee Curtis). It’s a powerful reminder of the strength and bravery people show when facing unimaginable disaster.

‘The Gorge’ (2025)

Directed by Scott Derrickson, this film uniquely combines thrilling action with a touching love story. Stars Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy play highly skilled snipers positioned in separate watchtowers overlooking a huge, enigmatic canyon. Their job is to defend the world from a hidden threat. Even though they’re physically distant and follow strict rules, they begin to connect, and their bond is challenged when the real purpose of their mission comes to light. Critics have lauded the film’s suspenseful atmosphere and the strong chemistry between the two lead actors, all set against a backdrop of science fiction and horror.

‘The Instigators’ (2024)

In this funny and action-packed heist movie directed by Doug Liman, Matt Damon and Casey Affleck play an unlikely pair – a father in trouble and a former convict – who are forced to work together on a robbery. When the robbery doesn’t go as planned, they go on the run, and unexpectedly bring along the protagonist’s therapist, played by Hong Chau. The film follows this chaotic trio as they try to escape the police, navigate red tape, and avoid dangerous criminals across Boston. It’s a return to the heist genre for Damon and Affleck, but this time the focus is more on the characters and their relationships than on a complicated plot.

‘Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown’ (1975)

This beloved animated special still resonates with audiences many years after it first came out, and you can now find it streaming on Apple TV+ with other Peanuts favorites. The story centers on Linus buying chocolates for his teacher, which unintentionally upsets Sally. At the same time, Charlie Brown anxiously waits for a Valentine’s Day card that never comes. The special beautifully captures the mix of joy and sadness that comes with first crushes, and the lasting appeal of Charles M. Schulz’s characters.

‘Fly Me to the Moon’ (2024)

Okay, so I just saw this really fun romantic comedy set during the height of the Space Race, and it totally charmed me. Scarlett Johansson plays Kelly Jones, a brilliant marketing whiz brought in to polish up NASA’s image, and she immediately clashes with Channing Tatum’s Cole Davis, the dedicated launch director. The story gets a bit wild when Kelly is asked to fake a moon landing as a contingency plan – talk about pressure! It’s a clever movie that really makes you think about how much of what we see is carefully crafted, but at its heart, it’s a classic opposites-attract romance. The director, Greg Berlanti, really nailed the look and feel of the 60s, and it’s just a really stylish and optimistic film overall.

‘Fountain of Youth’ (2025)

In this fantasy adventure, director Guy Ritchie—known for his energetic style—teams up with John Krasinski and Natalie Portman. The story follows two long-separated siblings who reluctantly join forces for a worldwide quest: finding the legendary Fountain of Youth. Along the way, they’ll need to solve old mysteries and outrun dangerous enemies, all while dealing with their complicated past. This film blends Ritchie’s signature quick wit and action with a more expansive, magical story than his usual crime films.

‘F1’ (2025)

As a total movie buff and racing fan, I have to say Joseph Kosinski really delivers with this one! It throws you right into the heart of Formula 1, and it’s incredibly exciting. Brad Pitt plays a former driver who’s pulled back into the game to help a young up-and-comer – Damson Idris – on a fictional team. What’s amazing is they actually filmed during real Grand Prix weekends with the F1 teams, so the feeling of speed and the technical details are unbelievably authentic. It’s a really compelling story about the contrast between a seasoned pro and a new talent, all playing out on the world’s fastest racetracks.

‘Eternity’ (2025)

This week’s biggest hit is a clever and funny romantic comedy directed by David Freyne, starring Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller. The film imagines a world where people choose who they’ll spend forever with in the week before they die. It’s a thought-provoking story that mixes big questions about life and death with both humor and touching scenes. Audiences are connecting with its original idea and the strong performances from Olsen and Teller as they grapple with this incredible decision.
