The 15 best films on Netflix in May 2023
Claymation chickens, a Sylvester Stallone cliffhanger and Brad Pitt aging in reverse highlight May's Netflix offerings
May is the start of the summer movie season which means Netflix—along with the other streamers—will have to up their game to keep you at home and not overpaying for a movie ticket … and a babysitter … and popcorn. But, man, they’ve sure been irritating subscribers lately by instituting new fees, deep-sixing their DVD-by-mail service, and cracking down on password sharing. That said, Netflix still knows how to bring the hits and their May lineup looks especially couch-worthy. We’ve got action spectaculars directed by Ridley Scott, Renny Harlin, and Paul Verhoeven and worthwhile dramas starring Brie Larson and Shirley MacLaine. So while you wait for Peter Quill, Indiana Jones, and Dominic Toretto to supercharge your summer, microwave that popcorn instead and check out these Netflix offerings.
