  • "365 Days" continues to dominate on Netflix and director Gaspar Noé's "Love," another erotic drama, has also gained popularity.
  • Netflix introduced daily top lists of the most popular titles on the streaming service in February.
  • Streaming search engine Reelgood keeps track of the lists and provides Business Insider with a rundown of the week's most popular movies on Netflix every Friday.

"365 Days" is the most popular movie on Netflix for the second straight week, despite a 0% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes (and that's not the first time that's happened).

And director Gaspar Noé's "Love," another erotic drama, is also popular, with help from TikTok users who have been filming their reactions to the movie's opening scene.

Netflix introduced daily top 10 lists of its most viewed movies and TV shows in February (it counts a view if an account watches at least two minutes of a title).

Every week, the streaming search engine Reelgood compiles for Business Insider a list of which movies have been most prominent on Netflix's daily lists that week. On Reelgood, users can browse Netflix's entire movie library and sort by IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes ratings.

Spike Lee's "Da 5 Bloods" also continues to be a hit with Netflix users.
