Rear Window has 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and is one of the new Netflix movies arriving in June 2025.
Netflix’s next wave of new movies is yet another strong list of classics and modern favorites, and it seems that the horror and thriller genres are dominating everything new on Netflix in June 2025 – and will become the next line of best Netflix movies.
There are four Hitchcock movies coming to Netflix (top of our best streaming services list) soon, and two of those have made it into my monthly list, starting with the thriller/ mystery masterpiece Rear Window (1954) with a score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. But while talking high-quality scares, this list wouldn’t be complete without mention of Us, a Jordan Peele flick from 2019 which has since become one of my favorite horrors of the past few years.
If you’re excited as I am for new Netflix movies this month, then hopefully you’ll join me in checking all of these off your watchlists and kick off the official summer months with a whole lot of suspense and thrill.Rear Window (1954)
RT score: 98%

Not only is Rear Window widely considered by critics to be one of Hitchcock’s best works, but it’s been deemed as one of the greatest pieces of cinema ever and it’s finding a new home in Netflix’s library this month.
I’ve been out of the classics game for a while now and I miss the thrill of revisiting cinema’s earlier days, so the arrival of Rear Window is really helping me get my act back together.
When professional photographer L.B. ‘Jeff’ Jefferies (James Stewart) breaks his leg he’s confined to his apartment. Struck with boredom he begins to observe his neighbors through his window and watch their daily lives go by, but something strange arises as he notices odd behavior from neighbor Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr) and his wife.
