It’s the first day of the month, which means a massive influx of new licensed content and original drops have flooded the Netflix library! Seeing as we’re halfway through the week, we’re doing an extra set of recommendations today, but we’ll be back on Saturday for our usual recap of everything new added to Netflix US this week for the 4th of July weekend!
Here are our top three movies from today’s massive 66-title drop and as a reminder, you can find an expanded version of the list below via our New on Netflix hub page, which has just been updated with some new features, including the ability to filter out the best of the best, whether it’s from our top picks or the best reviewed from critics or audiences (or both!).
Today’s Best New Movies on Netflix
Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
Type: Movies
Style: Action, Superhero | Runtime: 2 hours 13 minutes
With the highly anticipated next chapter of Tom Holland’s web-slinging saga arriving in theaters, there’s no better time to revisit where his standalone journey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe really began. Cleverly abandoning the radioactive spider bite origin story we’ve all seen before, director Jon Watts channels the classic John Hughes teen comedy to deliver a superhero movie that feels incredibly fresh. The film perfectly captures the strange, everyday struggles of high school life for Peter Parker, as well as the heavy burden of being a “friendly neighborhood” hero under the watchful eye of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), albeit a slightly troubled one. Starring Michael Keaton’s blue-collar villain, the Vulture, this is my favorite of the Holland Spidey movies, which is undoubtedly a controversial film.
enola holmes 3 (2026)
Type: Movies
Style: action, mystery
Millie Bobby Brown is back on the case! As one of Netflix’s most consistently successful and beloved original film franchises, the return of our favorite fourth-wall-breaking, Victorian-era detective is undoubtedly the biggest streaming event of the week. With Henry Cavill returning in full force as her iconic, slightly tougher older brother, Sherlock, the dynamic duo find themselves forced together to solve their most dangerous, action-packed conspiracy yet through the dirty streets of London. Mixing sharp wit, spectacular set pieces, and Brown’s boundless on-screen charisma, this is a huge, crowd-pleasing blockbuster that’s practically tailor-made for a family movie night this holiday weekend.
Once you’re finished watching, check out our big interview with Philip Berlanti and stay tuned for more coverage in the coming days!
born on 4th july (1989)
Type: Movies
Style: drama, war Runtime: 2 hours 25 minutes
As we prepare for the long Independence Day holiday weekend, it seems only right to highlight Oliver Stone’s Oscar-winning cinematic masterpiece. If you’re looking for a break from traditional summer popcorn meals, this powerful biographical drama provides a profound and deeply touching experience. Starring Tom Cruise in what is widely considered to be one of the most transformative, critically acclaimed performances of his entire career (earning him his first Academy Award nomination), the film tells the true story of Ron Kovic. We follow Kovic from his days as an idealistic, starry-eyed teen to his harrowing experiences in the Vietnam War, enthusiastically enlisting in the Marines, and ultimately returning home paralyzed, disillusioned, and transformed into a fierce anti-war activist. It’s a visually impressive, emotionally uncompromising epic that demands your attention.
