4. How Do You Know?
The 2010 romantic drama has been revived on Netflix as it took the fourth seat in the lineup. The film, starring familiar faces including Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Jack Nicholson, and Owen Wilson, attempts to find out the meaning of love, and it seems like many were drawn to the flick in July.
3. Desperados
Desperados was the third most popular film in the list. The Netflix Original comedy film was released on 3 July 2020 and immediately gained traction over the month. The film features Nasim Pedrad, Lamorne Morris, Anna Camp, Robbie Amell, and more.
