Beloved Comedy Rising Through Netflix Ranks After Being Added to the Service

By Charlie Ridgely

A wave of popular movies were added to Netflix's streaming roster at the start of February. Films in different genres from various decades made their way to the streamer to kick off a new month, and several of those titles have been making waves in the two weeks since their arrival. Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2 have been some of the most watched movies on all of Netflix over the last two weeks, but the last few days have seen an R-rated comedy entering the chat.

The Hangover, the outrageous 2009 comedy from Joker and Old School director Todd Phillips, made its way back to Netflix on February 1st. Due to its not-so-family-friendly nature, The Hangover hasn't made the kind of noise on Netflix that Despicable Me has over the last couple of weeks, but it has been hanging around the Top 10 Movies list for a little while now.

Monday's edition of the Netflix Top 10 Movies features The Hangover in the seventh overall spot. The film has hopped around the list a couple times, climbing as high as fifth overall before settling around seventh. It wouldn't be surprising to see it climb even higher in the coming days and weeks.
