That being the case, I've selected some top picks among the titles coming to Netflix in June, all of which can be enjoyed without leaving your living room (or whatever room(s) you keep your TV(s) in). You can read through the complete list of movies and TV shows hitting the service at the bottom of this article. Happy streaming!
In a better world, you'd be able to catch the new Richard Linklater on the big screen. Alas, Netflix swooped in and picked up the Texan auteur's "Hit Man" following its festival debut last year, which means only those who live in select cities will be able to watch it in a theater. It's what it is, as a wise guy in another Netflix movie once observed.
Remember when Chris Pratt lending his voice to an animated feature felt like a novel concept? "The LEGO Movie" turns 10 this year, yet its charms remain firmly undiminished. Set in a world of interlocking plastic blocks and tiny figurines, the film follows Pratt's Emmet Brickowski as this seemingly unexceptional LEGO minifigure gets swept into an adventure to try and stop the despotic Lord Business (Will Ferrell, playing another evil CEO nearly a decade before "Barbie") from unleashing an insidious weapon on the citizens of Bricksburg. Admittedly, writer-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller's ode to the power of creativity didn't have quite the effect on our IP-dominated landscape that they were going for, but that's not their fault. "The LEGO Movie" is filled with breathless, energetic set pieces and relentless, ingenious sight gags, yet it's the film's self-reflexive narrative that makes it a (meta)modern classic. Give it a stream and get "Everything is Awesome" stuck in your head all over again.
Hmm, it appears we've stumbled upon a theme of family-friendly movies starring actors who currently have films in theaters. Five years before Netflix started remaking all your favorite anime multimedia franchises in live-action, "Pokmon Detective Pikachu" beat them to the punch with an entertaining "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" riff featuring the vocal talents of Ryan Reynolds. The "Deadpool" actor lends his voice to the titular crime-solving Pokmon, a coffee-chugging, lightning-shooting rascal who teams up with a former wannabe Pokmon trainer (Justice Smith) to investigate the mysterious death of the young man's father, only to stumble upon a much bigger conspiracy. "Detective Pikachu" is, if you'll forgive the Pok-pun, surprisingly effective in the way it adapts its source material into a live-action three-act narrative without sacrificing its fanciful visuals or general zaniness. Yet, despite all that and its strong commercial performance, we're still waiting on the sequel. Don't make me go full Jigglypuff and scribble all over your face, Warner Bros.
You've heard of Christmas in July, now how about "Carol" in June? Okay, it doesn't have the same ring, but Todd Haynes' 1950s-set queer winter holiday romance may provide the change of pace you're looking for. Rooney Mara stars as a doe-eyed department store employee who gets swept off her feet by the title character (Cate Blanchett), a captivating, classy older woman who's in the middle of a divorce that could get even messier, should the truth about her sexuality come to light. "Carol" captures the wonderment of falling for someone older and more worldly than you, yet it never loses sight of the underlying danger inherent to the characters' situation (no surprise there; it's based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith, the thriller maestro best known for "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Strangers on a Train"). Chilly yet inviting, picturesque yet never nostalgic in the way it portrays its period setting, this remains some of Haynes' finest work in a career spent subverting and challenging conventions.
We're officially in the heat of the summer and Netflix is continuing their exciting summer slate of titles coming this July. Including new episodes of hit shows, exciting new original series, and plenty of blockbuster movies. Check out our list below to see everything that is coming to Netflix in July 2024.
Lost follows the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815, which crashes on a mysterious island in the South Pacific. The diverse group must work together to survive while uncovering the island's many secrets, including a hidden hatch, a smoke monster, and other supernatural elements. Known for its complex narrative structure, the series includes flashbacks and flashforwards that provide deeper insights into the characters' backstories and their lives off the island. As they navigate the island's dangers and mysteries, the survivors form bonds and face challenges that test their limits and reveal hidden truths.
If you thought the 2022 Netflix movie releases made that year a particularly big one for the streaming platform, you would be right. Many of 2022's exclusive, feature-length releases ended up becoming some of the top trending titles on Netflix and were praised as some of the best movies released in 2022, whether or not they made it to the big screen. However, the year 2023 was just as big for the platform.
In July 2023, audiences could check out Jamie Foxx, John Boyega, and Teyonah Parris in the sci-fi comedy, They Cloned Tyrone and a spin-off of the platform's hit horror flick, Bird Box, called Bird Box: Barcelona.
More than two decades since the original, the stop-motion animated sequel Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget -- starring Zachary Levi as Rocky this time -- came out as a Netflix exclusive and Zack Snyder took to the stars for the space epic Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire in December 2023.
