Peacock got more than 60 new movies for its catalog in the month of June, and understandably, you might be sitting there thinking, \u201cI\u2019m happy for you, but I\u2019m not reading\/scrolling through all that.\u201d And that\u2019s very valid.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, it\u2019s our job to do just that, so we did. Now, instead of searching through 60+ titles that are new to Peacock but maybe not new to you, you can scroll through a much smaller list. We went through and picked out the seven best films that got added to the streamer (subjectively, of course, but I\u2019ve got an argument for each of them) for you to pick from.<\/p>\n

Here are the seven best new movies on Peacock this month.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m a Cheerleader<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still Pride month, and you can\u2019t truly celebrate if you haven\u2019t seen \u201cBut I\u2019m a Cheerleader\u201d before, right?<\/p>\n

First released in 1999, you\u2019re going to see a lot of famous faces, beginning promptly with Natasha Lyonne<\/a> as the lead. She stars as Megan, a cheerleader who figures out she\u2019s gay and is sent by her conservative parents to a conversion therapy camp (don\u2019t worry, this movie is campy and fun, it\u2019s not a true, traumatic depiction of those camps).<\/p>\n

At the camp, Megan comes to embrace her sexuality, as do many of the other campers. Speaking of the other campers, remember that stacked cast I mentioned? It includes Melanie Lynskey, RuPaul, Clea DuVall, Dante Basco and more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s sweet, it\u2019s brightly colored, it\u2019s just a good time. It also tends to bounce around streamers quite often, so don\u2019t miss it now.<\/p>\n

Spider-Man: Homecoming<\/p>\n

No, you don\u2019t need Disney+ to be able to find Marvel movies these days \u2014 at least, not all of them. \u201cSpider-Man: Homecoming\u201d is now on Peacock, and now would be a good time to revisit it, considering \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d is on the horizon.<\/p>\n

This is the first of Tom Holland<\/a>\u2018s Spider-Man films, and takes place after his introduction in \u201cCaptain America: Civil War.\u201d Here, Peter Parker is figuring out how to go back to being a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man when all he wants is to join the Avengers.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s developing his mentor\/mentee relationship with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and very eager to please. The thing is, he\u2019s still in high school, and still pretty inexperienced. He makes some pretty big mistakes along the way, and learns some hard lessons.<\/p>\n

As Spider-Man films go, it\u2019s a very good one, and it\u2019s worth catching up on before seeing \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d next month.<\/p>\n

\"girlsUniversal<\/p>\n

Girls Trip<\/p>\n

With summer getting fully underway, you might be preparing for a girls\u2019 trip yourself, so why not pregame it with the movie?<\/p>\n

Starring Tiffany Haddish, Regina Hall, Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith, \u201cGirls Trip\u201d is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to funny ladies. It centers on the quartet as they head to\u00a0New Orleans\u00a0for the\u00a0Essence Music Festival,\u00a0in an effort to reconnect as friends. They were inseparable in college, but have since drifted.<\/p>\n

What follows is a whole lot of dramedy, complete with bad trips, very raunchy situations, and a very real depiction of female friendship. At the very least, this movie should put you in a good mood.<\/p>\n

A sequel has been in the works for awhile now<\/a>, but according to Hall, the script still isn\u2019t quite right<\/a>. So, we\u2019ll just have to wait with the original for now.<\/p>\n

\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Dominic\u201cThe Holdovers\u201d (Focus Features)<\/p>\n

The Holdovers<\/p>\n

Admittedly, \u201cThe Holdovers\u201d is definitely more of a Christmas movie, so watching it in the summer months could be hard. But not impossible! And, if you\u2019ve never seen the film, certainly worth it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a Christmas film in the sense that \u201cHome Alone\u201d or \u201cElf\u201d are, where it\u2019s out-and-out jolly and colorful. Rather, it takes place over the holiday, as a grumpy, strict\u00a0teacher<\/a> at a\u00a0New England\u00a0boarding school\u00a0has to\u00a0chaperone\u00a0a handful of boys who have nowhere to go during break.<\/p>\n

Directed by Alexander Payne<\/a>, the movie was a breakout role for Dominic Sessa, and earned Da\u2019Vine Joy Randolph an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. It\u2019s an incredibly sweet story, as the three main characters bond and develop their own special friendship.<\/p>\n

Wait until December if you\u2019re as strict as Paul Giamatti\u2019s character, but if you just need a good, comforting movie, watch it now.<\/p>\n

\"Paddington\u201cPaddington\u201d (StudioCanal)<\/p>\n

Paddington<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll notice the theme of this list so far is feel-good films, and I can\u2019t say \u201cPaddington\u201d will break that trend. In fact, if you walk away from watching this movie without a deep attachment to this little marmalade-loving bear, I do not trust you.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say that \u201cPaddington\u201d doesn\u2019t get dark at times. Hell, Nicole Kidman<\/a> flat-out tries to murder and taxidermize him. That is not the magic we come to the cinema for. But the rest of this movie is. Perhaps the best and only word to describe \u201cPaddington\u201d is \u201csweet.\u201d You cannot help but love this family and this bear.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a reason there have been three of these movies \u2014 one of which is a flat-out call for prison reform, and a very good one at that \u2014 with a fourth on the way. This polite bear will not disappoint you.<\/p>\n

\""Fruitvale\u201cFruitvale Station\u201d (The Weinstein Company)<\/p>\n

Fruitvale Station<\/p>\n

Alas, this list is not all feel-good films, but each entry is at least a good film. \u201cFruitvale Station\u201d is definitely the darkest on here, and it\u2019s also one of the true pieces of \u201ccinema,\u201d as they say.<\/p>\n

\u201cFruitvale Station\u201d is where Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler\u2019s long-running collaboration began. Coogler directs, while Jordan stars as a 22-year-old Oakland man who was shot and killed by a Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer in 2009. The movie ended up being a massive spark for both of their careers, cementing Jordan as a leading man and Coogler as a director to pay attention to.<\/p>\n

As the duo told TheWrap in December,<\/a> Coogler clocked Jordan as a true movie star in their first meeting about the film. \u201cI would look at myself in the bathroom mirror and try to build up the belief that I was gonna be successful, but I never knew how directors or writers or filmmakers thought about me. But when Ryan said it in that Starbucks, that was the first,\u201d Jordan said.<\/p>\n

Obviously, he was right. Given where the two men are today, it\u2019s certainly worth going back to their start together.<\/p>\n

Blended<\/p>\n

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore have long been rom-com royalty<\/a>, so fans were thrilled to see them reunite in \u201cBlended\u201d back in 2014.<\/p>\n

This time around, they star as single parents; Barrymore\u2019s character has two boys, Sandler\u2019s character has three girls. A blind date between them goes horribly, and yet, they end up hustling their way into the same trip to Africa, thanks to their best friends. As it turns out, the trip was for blended families, meaning they\u2019re forced together for the entirety of it.<\/p>\n

Of course, as is typical with this formula, they fall in love along the way, bonding with each other\u2019s kids and realizing they might make a perfect family. It doesn\u2019t break the mold, but who says these movies have to do that?<\/p>\n

Is it not enough to simply watch Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler have a goofy little love story for the third time? (With the added bonus that their previous films all get very unsubtle Easter eggs in this one).<\/p>\n
