After a quiet month for movies in May, Netflix is starting off June on a good note with a fresh selection of films.
George Clooney‘s 2010 thriller, The American, is one of the great movies arriving on Netflix this month, and it gave him a chance to play a much darker character than usual.
But the film we expect to break out this month is Barbarian, a 2022 horror movie that was unexpectedly one of the best examples of the genre in recent memory. If you’re lucky enough to be going into that film unspoiled, that’s the best way to go.
You can find these films and more among the must-watch movies on Netflix right now in June 2025.
‘The American’ (2010)
Throughout his career, George Clooney has used his innate likability to win over audiences. But Clooney’s character, Jack, does something so alarming in the opening minutes of The American that it risks alienating viewers from the beginning. Even Jack feels regret for the sin he committed, but that doesn’t stop him from committing more throughout the film.
Jack is a killer for hire in the criminal underworld, and someone has been getting uncomfortably close to him with attempts on his life. While hiding out in a remote Italian town, Jack starts to reinvent himself, and he even courts a woman named Clara (Violante Placido). Unfortunately for Jack, his old life doesn’t take long to intrude upon his new one.
The American is streaming on Netflix.
