In May, the streaming wars were won by Sam Raimi’s Send Help, a bloody, funny, fast-moving thriller about office politics and revenge. The competition was stiff, including everything from all-time classics like The Devil Wears Prada, to an octopus movie starring Sally Field, to a new chapter in the story of comic book vigilante the Punisher. Settle in with some popcorn, people: Here are the most popular movies streaming last month.
Send Help (2026)
Horror-master Sam Raimi is the perfect director for this violent, unhinged, darkly funny thriller. Send Help stars Rachel McAdams as Linda, a dorky cubicle drone in an office full of well-dressed sharks. Her boss is Bradley (Dylan O’Brien), a nepo-baby executive with unlimited funds and no compassion. The pair end up stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash, and while it turns out Bradley’s skill at belittling people is no help in the jungle, Linda is something of a survivalist. But she might also be insane. It’s a perfect set-up for a twisty plot that ends in a bloody showdown. All thumbs up! Send Help is streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
With the long-anticipated sequel cleaning up in theaters, people are flocking to stream the original classic. And luckily The Devil Wears Prada holds up. Meryl Streep earned an Oscar nod for her iconic turn as Miranda Priestly, ruthless editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, and Anne Hathaway is amazing as Andy Sachs, the young, idealistic journalist who’s about to learn a lot about the fashion world. Stream The Devil Wears Prada on Disney+, HBO Max, and Hulu.
Remarkably Bright Creatures (2026)
In this feel-good woman-meets-octopus drama, Sally Field plays Tova, a widow who spends her days cleaning the tanks at the local aquarium and grieving the death of her son. Lewis Pullman plays Cameron, a drifter who needs a mentor and a mom. Alfred Molina voices Marcellus the Octopus, the cephalopod who brings them together. If you like smart, sensitive movies with amazing performances, it’s a great pick. If you like calamari, maybe see something else. Stream Remarkably Bright Creatures on Netflix.
The Housemaid (2025)
Director Paul Feig’s The Housemaid is a psychological thriller equally influenced by steamy suburban potboilers like Gone Girl and suspense classics like Vertigo. Based on Freida McFadden’s 2022 novel, The Housemaid has a classic setup: Millie (Sydney Sweeney), a young woman with a secret past, lands a job as a live-in housemaid for wealthy couple Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar). Millie soon discovers that the nice couple who hired her is hiding some very dangerous secrets. Great for fans of rising tension and killer plot twists. Stream The Housemaid on Starz.
Apex (2026)
This modern riff on The Most Dangerous Game stars Charlize Theron as Sasha, an elite rock climber looking for adventure in the wilderness of Australia. She gets way more than she bargained for when she meets Ben (Taron Egerton), a twisted predator whose favorite hobby is hunting and murdering strangers for sport. Stream Apex on Netflix.
Marty Supreme (2025)
Loosely based on the real life of ping-pong player Marty Reisman, Marty Supreme is a fast-paced sports drama set in the world of professional table tennis in the 1950s. Timothée Chalamet stars as Marty Mauser, a brash ping-pong prodigy who can’t get out of his own way. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Kay Stone, a wealthy woman who becomes entangled in Marty’s world. Marty Supreme has to be the most successful movie about ping-pong in history, earning nine academy award nominations and a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Stream Marty Supreme on HBO Max.
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War (2026)
John Krasinski continues in the guise of (John Clancy’s) Jack Ryan in this espionage thriller, a feature-length follow-up to the Prime Video series. As it opens, Ryan is out of the spy game, but a disaster of an international covert mission brings him back into the fold. With the fate of millions at risk, Ryan teams up with old pals CIA allies Mike November (Michael Kelly) and James Greer (Wendell Pierce) and MI6 officer Emma Marlowe (Sienna Miller) to battle an intelligence unit that has gone rogue. Stream Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War on Prime Video.
Bugonia (2025)
I love it when a weirdo movie finds a big audience, and Bugonia is one of those movies. Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis play a couple of societal dregs who kidnap a high-powered pharmaceutical executive (Emma Stone) because they think she’s an alien. Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, who helmed 2023’s excellent Poor Things, the Best Picture Oscar nominee is a must-watch, even if you’re only a little weird. (And if you want more weirdness, it’s based on an even odder South Korean film called Save the Green Planet.) Stream Bugonia on Netflix.
The Running Man (2025)
Based on a 1982 novel by Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman) and directed by Edgar Wright, The Running Man is a dystopian near-future sci-fi action movie in which the most popular show on TV is a deadly reality competition with contestants who must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins. I hate to admit that I would totally watch that show, and you should totally watch this movie. Stream The Running Man on Prime Video, Paramount+, Roku, MGM+, and Fubo.
The Punisher: One Last Kill (2026)
Marvel’s relentless vigilante is back, and this time, it’s personal. (Okay, it’s pretty much always personal with the Punisher.) This one-hour “special presentation” begins with Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) out of the punishing game, having found meaning beyond revenge. But when an old enemy returns and threatens the fragile peace he’s created, Castle straps the mask back on gets back to his true calling: kicking ass. Stream The Punisher: One Last Kill on Disney+.
