pWhile we are excited to head to the theatres this Summer and see all the big blockbusters, we're just as stoked to curl up on the couch with Netflix's new offerings. There are 10 brand new Netflix original movies available to stream in June — and they all sound good. There are dramas, comedies, and a few romances thrown in for good measure.
