The second most-watched movie on Netflix UK at the time of writing is A Man Called Otto, a popular Tom Hanks comedy-drama from 2022 which was added to the streaming service on Sunday, October 13. The movie is currently the second-most-watched film on the service, just below original documentary Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare and above other originals like The Menendez Brothers and Lonely Planet.
Hanks stars in the movie as a grouchy widower living in the Pittsburgh suburbs who's given up on life, until a Mexican family moves in next door. While they initially clash, slowly the man (who's called Otto, if you couldn't guess) learns to open his heart to these strangers. But people who've watched the modern Tom Hanks movie might not be aware that it's actually a remake of an even more popular film.
