Here are the best movies coming to Netflix in June.

“Ali” (June 1)

Will Smith gives one of the best performances of his career playing the iconic heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali. From his physical transformation to look like the champ to his voice and swagger, Smith pulls off everything needed to make an impressive Ali biopic.

But perhaps his greatest achievement is his collaboration with director Michael Mann to showcase the complexities of the man who, at the peak of his skills, was also fighting criticisms about his religious faith, opposing the Vietnam War, and infidelity.

“The Breakfast Club” (June 1)

John Hughes' masterpiece made stars Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy — the poster kids for 1980s teen rebellion.

Following five high schoolers serving Saturday detention, Hughes unlocks the adolescent struggles of that time as he makes each character the complete opposite of the other, resulting in a powderkeg of emotions that is still powerful to watch on screen today.

“The Conjuring” (June 1)

If you're looking for a good scare, watch James Wan's supernatural horror, which follows paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga.

If you want to explore the "The Conjuring" universe further, "The Conjuring 2," and the third movie, "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It," are also available.

“Dune” (June 1)

If you want to see how "Dune" was adapted for the big screen before Denis Villeneuve's big-screen spectacle, check out David Lynch's wacky 1984 release.

Get ready for many questionable 1980s-era special effects, creepy characters, and a pug (no, a dog never appears in the book).

“La La Land” (June 1)

If you need a feel-good movie, you can't go wrong with Damien Chazelle's musical love story.

From the beautiful Los Angeles settings and dazzling set pieces, "La La Land" is topped with performances by Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, who play two people who fall in love in LA but eventually realize their true love is the arts.

“The Lego Movie”

Directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord's comedy talents are fully displayed in "The Lego Movie." They use a clever story with the geekiest elements of the Lego line to create this perfect animated comedy that has the rare ability to work for both kids and adults.

“Tangerine”

Watch one of the best movies in recent Palme d'Or winner Sean Baker's filmography.

This comedy follows a transgender sex worker who discovers her pimp boyfriend has been unfaithful, so she goes in search of answers with her friend in a hilarious trek through LA on Christmas Eve.

Along with the talents on screen, Baker shows off as the entire movie was shot on a few iPhones.

“Crazy Rich Asians” (June 6)

Jon M. Chu's beloved adaptation of the Kevin Kwan book made leads Henry Golding and Constance Wu into stars and introduced us to the comedy talents of Awkwafina.

Released in 2018, when studios rarely released romantic comedies, "Crazy Rich Asians" showed that they can still strike a chord with audiences when done correctly. And this one certainly does that with the chemistry between Golding and Wu, the focus on family and tradition, and the beautiful Singapore scenary.

“Hit Man” (June 7)

The love affair with Glen Powell continues with this action rom-com from a script written by Powell and director Richard Linklater.

Based on a true story, Powell plays a part-time staffer at the New Orleans Police Department who poses undercover as a hitman in sting operations where those who hire him are arrested.

Powell is hilarious as the Gary character, who dresses in wild costumes and uses weird voices to elevate his undercover work. But things get complicated when he falls for a woman (Adria Arjona) who hires him to kill her abusive husband.
