The 25 best new Netflix movies to watch on Netflix in May 2019, including Wine Country, Moonlight, The Perfection, and Disney’s The Nutcracker.

Forget the summer rush at the movie theater. The best lineup of movies isn’t opening at the box office. They’re streaming on Netflix, right from the comfort of your own couch. If last month’s new additions left you wanting more, then May’s impressive list of new release movies is just what you have been waiting for. From the latest hits to throwback favorites to more original premieres than you can keep track of, there’s a title for every taste.

Netflix rolls out the red carpet this May for a number of high-profile original film premieres that you simply don’t want to miss. Kicking off the month are political documentary Knock Down the House, teen dramedy The Last Summer, and Zac Efron-starrer Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. May continues with highly anticipated comedy Wine Country, intriguing horror flick The Perfection, and sure-to-be hilarious romantic comedy Always Be My Maybe.

While there are plenty more original movies were those top selections came from, Netflix also brings a handful of recent hit films to its ranks. Disney’s The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, best picture winner Moonlight, and Jennifer Lawrence headliner Joy accompany the releases of older favorites like Zombieland, Scream, Austin Powers, Dumber & Dumber, and Take Me Home Tonight. Ahead of the jam-packed summer months, May offers the best warm-up imaginable.
