IMDb has revealed the most popular movies of 2025, based on how many times fans viewed their pages. It was a huge year for film, with audiences turning out in large numbers for both the start of new movie series and the finales of long-running favorites. The top ten films cover a wide variety of genres, from fast-paced racing movies to spooky, updated horror stories. This list showcases the movies that truly stood out in entertainment this year.
‘F1’ (2025)
Brad Pitt plays a retired Formula 1 racer who comes back to help a promising young driver. Director Joseph Kosinski filmed during real races to give the movie an authentic feel for speed and sound. The story explores the competitive and stressful world of professional racing, focusing on a quest for second chances. It blends accurate technical details with compelling personal stories, both on and off the racetrack.
‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ (2025)
Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt in what’s expected to be the last movie in the popular Mission: Impossible series. Hunt and his team are up against their most formidable foe yet, in a mission with global consequences. Expect the thrilling action and complex spy stories that fans love. Christopher McQuarrie directed this exciting conclusion, bringing together storylines from the previous films.
‘Thunderbolts*’ (2025)
Okay, so this Marvel movie brings together a seriously interesting team – a bunch of antiheroes the government reluctantly sends on a mission. Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan are fantastic, leading a cast full of characters who aren’t exactly known for being ‘good guys.’ What I really liked is that the story isn’t about traditional heroes; it’s about how these people with messed-up pasts work together. It’s got the usual Marvel action, but it’s balanced with a lot of character-driven humor, and it’s ultimately a story about trying to redeem yourself and just survive. It’s a fun ride!
‘Happy Gilmore 2’ (2025)
Adam Sandler is back as the famously quick-tempered golfer in this exciting sequel! Happy Gilmore returns to the golf course, where he’ll encounter new competitors and obstacles in the world of professional golf. The movie brings back fan-favorite characters and adds plenty of new, funny situations for the now older golfer. Keep an eye out for appearances by real-life professional golfers, adding to the film’s fun, nostalgic feel.
‘Frankenstein’ (2025)
Guillermo del Toro brings his long-held vision to life with a dark and atmospheric retelling of the Frankenstein story. Oscar Isaac plays the driven scientist Victor Frankenstein, and Jacob Elordi embodies the heartbreaking creature he creates. The film delves into the dangers of unchecked ambition and the darkness within humanity, all brought to life with breathtaking visuals that highlight the emotional core of the original novel.
‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ (2025)
The latest dinosaur adventure takes place years after the last films, with Scarlett Johansson heading a secret team. Their mission: collect DNA for life-saving medical research. But they quickly find themselves fighting for survival in dangerous lands overrun by evolved dinosaurs. As they struggle to survive, it becomes clear that humans are no longer the dominant species.
‘One Battle After Another’ (2025)
As a movie fan, I recently saw Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest, and it really stuck with me. It’s a sprawling, modern story with Leonardo DiCaprio playing a former radical whose life gets turned upside down when his daughter disappears. It forces him to deal with everything he’s tried to leave behind. Sean Penn is fantastic as a really powerful, intimidating figure who complicates things even further. What I loved most was how the movie balanced intense suspense with genuinely moving emotional moments, and the characters felt so incredibly layered and real.
‘Sinners’ (2025)
Director Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan team up again in this spooky thriller, set in the American South during the 1930s. Jordan stars as identical twin brothers who come home to find their town haunted by an old, terrifying force. The movie combines the feel of a historical drama with classic vampire themes, looking at the fears and lasting pain of the past. It’s a tense and immersive story focused on family and fighting against evil.
‘Weapons’ (2025)
Zach Cregger’s new horror mystery follows the disappearance of teenagers and unravels a dark secret within a close-knit town. Featuring powerful performances from Josh Brolin and Julia Garner, the film explores themes of witchcraft and hidden family histories. Viewers have been impressed by its surprising twists and truly frightening moments.
‘Superman’ (2025)
David Corenswet plays Superman in this new beginning for the DC Universe. The movie tells the story of Clark Kent as he navigates being both a Kryptonian and a human raised on Earth. Directed by James Gunn, it’s a hopeful and inspiring superhero film centered around the values of truth and justice. Rachel Brosnahan stars alongside him as Lois Lane, rounding out a talented cast.
