Whether it's films from the Master of Suspense or must-watch documentaries, there are a lot of movies to stream on Netflix in June.
Six Alfred Hitchcock classics (June 1)
A half-dozen of Hitchcock's titles are available on the streamer. These include some of the works that would solidify him as the Master of Suspense, like "The Birds," "Rear Window," and "Vertigo."

"The Blues Brothers" (June 1)
This beloved musical comedy is based on the characters created by original "SNL" cast members Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi.

"Focus" (June 1)
Will Smith and Margot Robbie headline this clever dramedy, in which Smith plays a career con artist who takes an aspiring crook (Robbie) under his wing. They get romantically involved, which complicates things years later when the two reconnect on a high-stakes job.

With summer around the corner, it's a perfect time to watch this hit 1980s comedy starring Dan Aykroyd and John Candy as two dads who try to give their families a great vacation in very different ways.

If you're looking for a more grounded heist movie, check out Ben Affleck 's beloved crime thriller in which he and Jeremy Renner lead a Boston-based bank robbing crew who put together one final score: robbing Fenway Park.
"Us" (June 1)
Jordan Peele's twisted horror stars Lupita Nyong'o as a woman who learns that she and her family are being hunted by doppelgängers who want to take over their lives.
"Piece by Piece" (June 7)
Pharrell Williams gets the biopic treatment, but in typical outside-the-box fashion for the multi-hyphenate, his life and career are recounted in Lego animation.
"Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy" (June 10)
On a November night in 2021, thousands watched Travis Scott perform at his own music festival, Astroworld. It ended horrifically with 10 dead and many wondering how an evening of joy could result in such terror.
This documentary investigates the night, focusing on the survivors, paramedics, and security that were at the center of the crowd crush.
"Titan: The OceanGate Disaster" (June 11)
In 2023, a submersible known as Titan suddenly imploded while doing a deep-sea dive to the Titanic, killing all on board. Though at first many questioned how this could happen, over time, it was revealed just how unsafe the journey was.
