The Netflix A-list club just continues to grow every month, y'all. Joining Jennifer Aniston — who's returning to Netflix this June for her second Netflix original (the first being the irresistibly sweet Dumplin') — are Netflix newbies Adam Sandler, Rose Byrne, Hilary Swank, and Anthony Anderson, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome them to the club. As well as celebrity-stacked flicks from the US, June's new Netflix originals include movies from Romania, Spain, Germany, Indonesia, Brazil, France, India, and Argentina, and we are so ready to stream. Check out all the movies you need to know about this month.
Oh, Ramona!
Adapted from the bestselling book by Romanian comedian Andrei Ciobanu, this raunchy Romanian coming-of-age flick follows the story of a shy 16-year-old named Andrei who's hopelessly in love with his beautiful (and devastatingly aloof) classmate, Ramona — that is, until he meets hotel clerk Anemona.
When it's available: June 1
Elisa & Marcela
This Spanish biographical romantic drama recounts the real-life story of Elisa Sánchez Loriga and Marcela Gracia Ibeas, two women who tied the knot in 1901 in the first same-sex marriage recorded in Spain (though they were only able to pull it off by having Elisa adopt a male identity).
When it's available: June 7
I Am Mother
Starring Hilary Swank and Rose Byrne, this sci-fi thriller tells the story of a teenage girl raised by a robot designed to repopulate the earth, but an unexpected encounter with a gravely wounded human woman forces the teen to question everything she was told by her robot Mother about the outside world.
When it's available: June 7
The 3rd Eye 2
In this follow-up to Netflix's Indonesian supernatural thriller The 3rd Eye, Alia takes a job in an orphanage, where she meets a teen named Nadia who claims that she possesses the same inner eyes that Alia does and that she hears eerie voices in the walls, the source of which they try to find together.
When it's available: June 13
Cinderella Pop
This totally cheesy (but totally cute) Brazilian teen romance follows the story of Cíntia Dorella, a teenager who decides to give up on love following her parents' divorce, though her mind is quickly changed after she meets swoon-worthy singer Freddy Prince.
When it's available: June 14
Beats
Based on the Chicago South Side hip-hop scene, this coming-of-age drama stars Anthony Anderson as a disgraced former artist manager and 17-year-old newcomer Khalil Everage as the agoraphobic hip-hop prodigy he takes under his wing. Orange Is the New Black's Uzo Aduba and artists Dave East and Dreezy are also set to appear.

When it's available: June 20
Jaoon Kahan Bata Ae Dil
This strange, tense, and at times uncomfortable film chronicles the interactions and conversations between a Mumbai couple on a date, which all seem pretty commonplace — that is, until the sun goes down, when things take a pretty jarring turn.
When it's available: June 21
Common Blood
This wild Argentinian thriller revolves around a seemingly perfect close-knit family whose image is shattered when the matriarch's mother is found dead due to an apparent accident, and the matriarch's father becomes the prime suspect.
