The 7 Best New Movies Streaming on Netflix in May 2024

With highly anticipated titles “The Fall Guy” and “I Saw the TV Glow” hitting theaters this weekend and a slew of studio blockbusters following in the coming weeks, the summer movie season is officially upon us. But studio slates look thinner this year than in the past, as strikes prevented many titles from wrapping production in 2023. But streaming services remain a reliable content source for anyone with a movie itch that the latest releases just aren’t scratching. And this month’s additions to the Netflix film library are no exception.

The streaming giant is rolling out Jerry Seinfeld’s long-awaited Pop-Tarts movie “Unfrosted” as its highest-profile release of the month. The comedy is flanked by a robust collection of repertory titles that should satisfy a variety of film tastes.
