The Best Netflix Movies to Stream This June for Instant Summer Vibes

What better way to celebrate the start of summer than with the many movies that just launched on Netflix? Get into the warm weather mood with us by selecting one (or all!) of the movies that have made their way to Netflix this June. This curated list balances summer nostalgia with some options that feel new and fresh.

1. Bee Movie
You’re not the only one who associates summer with those feel-good animated movies you watched as a kid. And with the Bee Movie making its way to Netflix this month, you can get cozy in front of the TV and watch this hilarious and wholesome film. When Barry the Bee graduates from college and decides not to work in honey production, he leaves the hive and befriends a human (a cardinal sin in the bee world!). What he learns is that humans have been stealing and profiting off of honey for centuries, leading him to his true calling: ensuring justice for his community.

2. The Great Outdoors

This 1988 classic is the perfect movie to watch with friends and family. When a Chicago family heads for their summer vacation, their lakeside getaway is crashed by their in-laws. What starts out as a relaxing vacation leaves the family at odds with relatives they’re not so close with—and the rest is for them to figure out.
3. Neighbors

Zac Efron and Seth Rogen star in this comedy about a young couple suffering from arrested development who’ve been forced to live next to a fraternity house. There’s just one problem: they just had a newborn baby, and there’s no way they can survive on frat row. When they’ve had enough with the noise complaints, parties, and disruptive behavior, all hell breaks loose. You won’t stop laughing for the duration of this 90-minute dramedy.

4. Us
Horror movie fans might not believe there’s a summer movie made for them, but that’s entirely untrue—summer vacation is the best time for some haunting plotlines. Us follows a family of four on their summer vacation at an isolated cabin. Unfortunately, their worst fears come true when a masked family of four—who appear identical to each of them—begins circling the house, eventually cornering them inside their home and leaving them in a fight for survival. You won’t leave the edge of your seat while watching this perfect summer horror directed by Jordan Peele.

5. Boys on the Side

This 1995 dramedy featuring Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Barrymore, and Mary-Louise Parker follows three newly acquainted friends on a cross-country trip from New York to LA. Each friend carries their own set of problems needing to be solved, and only with the help of one another will they reach their goals. You’ll laugh and cry during this summer watch, and it might even make you yearn for some time with your girlfriends.
