But for those nights when you can’t go to the theater, Netflix is for you. The streamer is introducing several high-profile original films in June, including the Jennifer Lopez-Brett Goldstein vehicle “Office Romance” and the Mexican stop-motion film “I Am Françailda.” Its repertory offering is also as strong as ever, with everything from major studio franchises to recent Oscar darlings.

Nothing says summer like a star-studded rom-com, and one of Netflix’s major original releases this month is the stunning pairing of Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein. The “Ted Lasso” hyphenate co-wrote the film, in which he played a corporate lawyer who falls in love with his latest client, a powerful airline CEO, played by Lopez. It has all the makings of an age-old cinematic love story that could make for a perfect relaxing summertime treat.

“The Big Lebowski” (streaming now)

It almost feels like cheating to recommend a Coen Brothers comedy in this context, as the best comedies are almost certain to be among any cinephile’s most-watched selections. But popularity doesn’t change the fact that “The Big Lebowski” is a pitch-perfect movie, capturing the contradictions of ’90s America that have given way to today’s absurdity, all within the framework of an addictive comedy. Even if you’ve watched it 100 times, there’s a good chance that at some point this month it’ll be just what you want, and Netflix will be there for you.

Michael B. Jordan is on top of the world right now. The superstar recently won his first Oscar for “Sinners” and is preparing to release his sophomore directorial effort, “The Thomas Crown Affair,” next spring and star in Joseph Kosinski’s “Miami Vice” reboot. If you’re still not satisfied with that, all three entries in its major franchises are coming to Netflix this month. From the first “Creed,” which established Jordan and Ryan Coogler as Hollywood A-listers, through “Creed III,” which made Jordan a director in his own right, this trilogy is always worth revisiting.

“Poor Things” (streaming June 7)

2026 is shaping up to be one of those rare years where we don’t get a new Yorgos Lanthimos movie starring Emma Stone, but anyone following the comeback can relive his best movie so far this month. “Poor Things” is a masterpiece on many levels, from its lush synthetic production design to Emma Stone’s committed performance as a Frankenstein-like woman who must learn to be human after having an infant’s brain implanted in her head. It is the best example of Lanthimos’ willingness to commit to absurd premises and execute them with surprising precision. Unlike some of the Greek author’s darker works, “Poor Things” takes its bizarre events to a darkly optimistic conclusion, making it the closest we’ll ever get to an entry-level offering.

“I Am Frankelda” (streaming June 12)

Netflix isn’t shy about marketing “I Am Frankelda” as the first stop-motion animation film to come from Mexico. And even though it’s a difficult claim to fully verify, there’s no denying that it looks like a colorful delight. A prequel to the Cartoon Network series “Frankelda’s Book of Spooks,” the film should appeal to both fans of the show and animation enthusiasts looking to dive into a handmade work of art.

“Song Sung Blue” (streaming June 13)

It’s rare that a film suddenly emerges and finds its place in the Oscar race – dedicated cinephiles who regularly scan the festival circuit and release calendar usually have a good picture of the race by the beginning of autumn. But Craig Brewer’s “Songs Sung Blue” was a true dark horse, coming out late in the year and earning Kate Hudson an Oscar nomination for her stellar performance as Claire Sardina.
It’s not hard to see why the film gained so much popularity. Hugh Jackman and Hudson are at their most charming in this real-life story of two Neil Diamond impersonators who navigate the difficulties of surviving in the real world while remaining connected to the carefree world that Diamond presents in his sentimental songs. This is a feel-good movie that works even if you don’t like Neil Diamond, and it should be at the top of your list if you missed seeing it last year.

“Drinking Buddies” (streaming June 15)

Joe Swanberg has been largely off the grid for the past decade, but he returns to top form with this year’s SXSW premiere, “The Sun Never Sets.” Whether that film rekindled your interest in the indie director or you’re still waiting to see it, Netflix is giving you the chance to re-watch his last great film. “Drinking Buddies” increasingly feels like the product of a bygone era, its craft beer theme evoking the hipster 2010s in which it was created. But it’s still a lovely hangout film that deserves a re-watch, in which Swanberg demonstrates his distinctive ability to offer perfect versions of the mumblecore-esque tropes we’re always telling other filmmakers to stop using.
