From Oscar-nominated epics to thrilling new releases, Netflix’s latest additions offer something for every movie enthusiast

Netflix has significantly expanded its movie library, adding an impressive lineup of 30 films spanning various genres and eras. This update follows closely on the heels of Prime Video’s own recent additions, suggesting a heated competition for viewers’ attention among streaming giants.

Among the notable entries is “Ali,” a sports biopic directed by Michael Mann, which stars Will Smith in his Oscar-nominated portrayal of the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali. The film delves deep into Ali’s career and personal life, offering viewers a comprehensive look at one of sports’ most iconic figures.

“Arrival,” another standout addition, brings a touch of science fiction to the list. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, this Oscar-nominated film stars Amy Adams as a linguist enlisted by the military to communicate with mysterious extraterrestrial visitors, blending linguistic puzzles with intense drama.

For fans of action and comedy, the “Beverly Hills Cop Trilogy” makes a return, with a fourth instalment set to release on Netflix this July, starring Eddie Murphy. Additionally, the platform introduces “Disappear Completely,” a Mexican horror thriller that has garnered a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, featuring Harold Torres in a gripping narrative about a crime photographer grappling with a mysterious illness.

Further enriching the collection are films like “Draft Day,” a sports drama praised for its engaging storyline, and “Emily the Criminal,” where Aubrey Plaza stars as a financially desperate woman entangled in a dangerous credit card scam.

Adding to the historical and dramatic depth, Netflix includes “The English Patient,” an Oscar-winning romantic war epic, and “Fury,” recognized as one of the top war films of all time, featuring Brad Pitt.

The lighter side of the additions includes “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande,” a comedy-drama that explores the evolving relationship between a retired school teacher and a young sex worker, starring Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack.

With such a diverse range of films, from the chilling “Eight for Silver,” a gothic horror set in a 19th-century French village, to the comedic mishaps of “Rough Night,” starring Scarlett Johansson, Netflix ensures its subscribers have ample choice for their viewing pleasure.

This latest expansion not only broadens Netflix’s offerings but also strengthens its position as a leading player in the streaming service arena, promising endless entertainment options for its global audience.
