Every month, Netflix adds tons of new movies to its ever-expanding library. While some are recognizable classics, some aren’t, and it’s a challenge to avoid the stinkers and watch the best films available.

A good method of sorting through the good and the bad is by checking Rotten Tomatoes, the popular website that aggregates critical and audience reviews into one score.

To help you figure out what to watch on Netflix in June, Watch With Us has selected three films that have a 90 percent rating or better on Rotten Tomatoes. That’s a high threshold for any film to pass, but it’s also a guarantee that the following movies are worth your time and attention.

‘Us’ (2019)

Us, Jordan Peele’s follow-up to his massively successful thriller, 2017’s Get Out, achieved a rare feat — it avoided the dreaded sophomore slump most directors face and is the rare horror film to achieve blockbuster status. It’s also incredibly good, and its 92 percent Rotten Tomatoes score testifies to the widespread love this film received in 2019.

Adelaide (Lupita Nyong’o) is a loving wife and mother of two who is still haunted by a childhood memory of her strange encounter with Red, a doppelganger who looks and sounds exactly like her. While on vacation, Adelaide encounters her now-adult double, who wants to take her place in the family. Adelaide soon realizes this strange encounter is happening to everyone, and the world as she knows it is thrown into chaos.

‘Vertigo’ (1958)

Netflix added a bunch of Alfred Hitchcock classics this month, and Vertigo is the best of a very good bunch. Frequently voted by critics as the best film of all time, this 1958 thriller about a man’s all-consuming obsession with a woman and her lookalike has a 93 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, which is somehow low for such a widely acknowledged classic.

After a traumatic accident leaves a fellow policeman dead, San Francisco detective Scottie (James Stewart) retires with a severe case of vertigo and a restlessness that comes with a man who has nothing to do and no one to protect. He’s soon hired by an old college friend to follow his wife, Madeleine (Kim Novak), around town to make sure she doesn’t harm herself. But Scottie soon falls in love with her, and their illicit romance may doom both of them.

‘The Town’ (2010)

Doug (Ben Affleck) is a Boston bank robber who dreams of a relaxing life in sunny Florida. Doug’s dream may be in jeopardy since a witness to his most recent robbery, Claire (Rebecca Hall), may be able to identify one of his fellow robbers — but not him. When he befriends her to get more information about what she knows, he finds himself falling for her. Can Doug ignore his intimate feelings for Claire to ensure he can leave his gloomy town — and life of crime — behind forever?

With a 92 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating, The Town won favor from critics when it was released in 2010, and it continues to garner acclaim from those who watch it. Affleck, who also wrote and directed the movie, is never better as a conflicted man who doesn’t want to betray his band of thieves but doesn’t want Claire to get killed, either. Trust the critics — The Town is a terrific thriller with a superb cast that includes Blake Lively, Jon Hamm, Chris Cooper and Jeremy Renner, who was nominated for an Oscar for his performance.
