The 7 Best New Movies Streaming on Netflix in July 2025

Sometimes, all we want to do is escape. Whether you’re taking shelter from blistering heat or the events of the world around you, summer is a time for blockbusters, musicals, and silly comedies that allow you to immerse yourself in air conditioning and forget about life for a while.
Netflix clearly understood the assignment this month, filling its film library with escapism for movie lovers of every stripe. Whether you want the breathtaking action sequences of “Mad Max: Fury Road” and “Mission: Impossible,” the goofy fun of “Mamma Mia!,” or the mindless laughs of a new Adam Sandler sequel, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in July.
