Another new month, another batch of new movies on Netflix!
Even as shelter-in-place orders are beginning to wane, it's still a good idea to stay home as much as possible—if not for an excuse to binge watch a ton of movies.
There's some great classics coming to Netflix in June, as well as more recently acclaimed favorites. Take a look below to check out our picks for streaming on Netflix this month.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Universal Pictures
Alien stories are timeless, and E.T. is the most timeless of all. It marked Steven Spielberg's return to sci-fi and is widely considered one of the greatest films of all time.
▲The Disaster Artist
A24
The Disaster Artist is a look inside The Room, which opposite to E.T., is considered one of the worst films of all time. This movie is quite good, though, starring James and Dave Franco as unlikely friends/creative partners Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero, respectively.
▲The Help
DreamWorks
Emma Stone and Viola Davis star in this Oscar-winning period drama about a young writer telling the stories of black maids in white households.
▲The Queen
20th Century Fox
Few celebrity deaths shook the world like that of Princess Diana of Wales. The Queen, starring Helen Mirren as Elizabeth II, is a biopic that depicts the contention between the Royal Family while handling Diana's sudden passing.
▲The Silence of the Lambs
Orion Pictures
Adapted from Thomas Harris's 1988 novel, The Silence of the Lambs is a multi-Oscar winning thriller in which a young FBI trainee is assigned to interview a cannibalistic serial killer.
▲V for Vendetta
Warner Bros.
This dystopian political thriller helped make Natalie Portman a household name.
▲West Side Story
United Artists
Rewatch the 1962 version of this cult-classic musical before Spielberg's remake comes out.
▲Zodiac
Warner Bros.
Based on a true story set in 1960s San Francisco, Robert Downey Jr. and Jake Gyllenhaal star as newsroom employees on a mission to hunt down the Zodiac Killer.
▲Clueless
Paramount
One of the most quotable teen comedies of the '90s, Clueless is as much a source of fashion inspiration as it is a heartfelt story of friendship.
▲Lady Bird
A24
Now you have no excuse to have not seen Lady Bird.
