Netflix has confirmed its movie slate for July 2026<\/a>, and subscribers are getting a huge wave of movies to watch this month. There are dozens of films just added to the streaming service\u2019s library<\/a>, which comes with the unfortunate downside of having maybe too much choice.<\/p>\n

To help you pick out the gems, I\u2019ve turned to review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>. While a high score on RT doesn\u2019t guarantee a movie will appeal to your personal tastes, it offers an at-a-glance indicator of how a movie\u2019s critical reception. Scoring 90% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes is no easy feat, but the seven new to Netflix movies below managed it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, without further introduction, here are the highest-scoring newcomers to Netflix this month. If you wish to refresh your watchlist, these movies are worth considering.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of the \u201cFargo\u201d TV show but didn\u2019t know the crime series is actually based on a 1996 Coen Brothers movie, now is as good a time as any to correct that oversight. Often cited as one of the Coen bro\u2019s best efforts, it was nominated for seven Oscars, winning two (Best Actress for Frances McDormand and Best Original Screenplay). It offers up a darkly comedic tale of murder and criminal scheming in a way only the Coen Brothers can.<\/p>\n

Set across Minneapolis and the eponymous Fargo, North Dakota, Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) is a car salesman in quite the bind. Swimming in debt, he hires two bumbling thugs (Steven Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his own wife, assuming her wealthy father (Harve Presnell) will pay a hefty ransom. But when the scheme goes horribly wrong, pregnant police chief Marge Gunderson (McDormand) is called in to investigate.<\/p>\n

\u2018Talk to Me\u2019 (2023)<\/p>\n

Talk To Me | Official Trailer HD | A24 – YouTube
\n\"Talk<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

A seriously spooky chiller, \u201cTalk to Me\u201d is an Australian horror movie that follows a group of friends who discover a way to contact the dead by gripping an embalmed hand and saying \u201ctalk to me\u201d. What starts as a novel party trick quickly becomes something much more sinister when the spirits they communicate with refuse to leave. Directed by Danny and Michael Philippou, who started their careers as YouTubers, this impactful horror is a must-watch if you enjoyed \u201cObsession\u201d or \u201cBackrooms.\u201d<\/p>\n

What to read next<\/p>\n

Not only does \u201cTalk to Me\u201d have some of the most toe-curlingly realistic practical effects I\u2019ve seen in years, but it balances its frighteningly effective scares and tension with quieter, more character-focused moments. You\u2019ll really care about the ultimate fate of sympathetic lead Mia (Sophie Wilde), and the movie\u2019s brutal ending will stick with you for months to come.<\/p>\n

Moneyball (2011) Movie Trailer – HD – Brad Pitt – YouTube
\n\"Moneyball<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t even have to like baseball to enjoy this biographical sports drama; you just need to appreciate the underdog spirit and have an interest in watching a group of people change the game with a radically different approach. Starring Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and Philip Seymour Hoffman, \u201cMoneyball\u201d recounts how the 2002 Oakland Athletics utilized sabermetrics to build a winning team on a fraction of their rivals\u2019 budgets.<\/p>\n

Based on true events and adapted from the book of the same name, Pitt plays Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A\u2019s in the early 2000s. Struggling to compete with baseball\u2019s biggest clubs on the A\u2019s comparatively smaller budget, Beane is introduced to a new way of thinking by economics graduate Peter Brand (Hill). Putting faith in hard data rather than a scout\u2019s gut feeling, they create a team of undervalued talent that changed the game forever.<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Another movie that earned Frances McDormand an Oscar is \u201cNomadland.\u201d This Chlo\u00e9 Zhao picture also scooped Best Picture and Best Director, making it quite the awards player. However, I will admit, it\u2019s not really to my personal taste, but one look at its Rotten Tomatoes score tells you that the majority of critics were deeply impressed by this exploration of the nomad lifestyle set across the 21st-century American West.<\/p>\n

McDormand plays Fern, a woman in her 60s who becomes suddenly unemployed due to the Great Recession in the early 2010s. With her husband having recently passed away, and now without a job, she takes the radical step of selling all her possessions, buying a van, and hitting the open road. She discovers a sense of belonging and peace in this modern-day nomad existence. The pace might be very slow, but at least the sights of America look utterly stunning.<\/p>\n

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING – Official Trailer (HD) – YouTube
\n\"SPIDER-MAN:<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Spider-Man is making his big-screen return in just a few weeks with \u201cBrand New Day.\u201d Tom Holland is back as the world\u2019s most popular superhero, alongside Zendaya and Jacob Batalon as his best pals, MJ and Ned. With this in mind, the arrival of \u201cSpider-Man: Homecoming\u201d on Netflix is particularly well-timed, letting you go back to the start and see the origins of this incarnation of the webhead. “Homecoming” is one of the best Spider-Man movies, period.<\/p>\n

Set after Holland\u2019s first appearance in the MCU in \u201cCaptain America: Civil War,\u201d Peter Parker is eager to prove himself to mentor figure Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.). Frustrated with merely being a friendly neighborhood crimefighter, he gets the chance to step into the big leagues when the villainous Vulture (Michael Keaton) arrives on the scene with a sinister scheme to sell alien technology to some very bad people.<\/p>\n

\n\"The<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

If you decide to stream \u201cThe Witch,\u201d prepare for serious spooks. The directorial debut of Robert Eggers is one of the best horrors of the 2010s, and now is a great time to watch it, with the first trailer for the director\u2019s upcoming \u201cWerwulf\u201d dropping earlier this week. Eggers is the modern master of folklore horror, with an eye for period authenticity and slow-burn tension. Plus, \u201cThe Witch\u201d also marks Anya Taylor-Joy\u2019s feature film debut.<\/p>\n

Set in 17th-century New England, William (Ralph Ineson) and his family are banished from their settlement and build their own farm in the shadow of a thick forest. When the family\u2019s youngest son, Samuel, goes missing, it\u2019s the oldest daughter, Thomasin (Taylor-Joy), who is blamed. As the family becomes increasingly fractured and paranoid, William suspects that evil forces are stalking them, and Thomasin might have engaged in witchcraft.<\/p>\n
