Adam Sandler's "Uncut Gems" was a box-office hit last year for indie studio A24, and now it's a hit on Netflix.

The movie debuted on the steaming giant last week and has surged to the top of Netflix's list of its most popular movies. In fact, two of Sandler's movie topped this week's list.

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.

The 1990s comedy "Clueless" also gained in popularity this week, as did "The Help." In response to the latter, critics offered other movies to watch on Netflix about race from black creators ("The Help" was directed by Tate Taylor, who is white). The criticism came as protests against racism and police violence spread across the US this week.

Below are Netflix's 9 most popular movies of the week in the US:
