8 Original and Licensed Movies to Watch in June 2024
Before we get to the list, it's important to note that four of these movies are Netflix Originals (we'll mark them as such) and are therefore available in all regions where Netflix is present. The other four, on the other hand, are movies licensed by the company and are currently only available in either the US or select countries — so in the case of these films, we suggest you check with your local Netflix.
