Netflix just added 39 new shows and movies — here are the 5 I'm streaming first

Netflix logo spring.

Netflix just added 39 new movies and shows to kick off the start of May. The first day of the month is typically the biggest day of the month for the streaming service; it's when Netflix adds the majority of the classic, library titles (aka not originals) to its catalogue. But there are a few Netflix original movies you'll want to consider today as well.

That's a lot of new titles to sort through in a single day, though, so I wouldn't blame you if you didn't know where to start. Lucky for you, I've already looked through everything new on Netflix in May, and I know exactly which shows and movies you need to be adding to your watchlist and streaming today. I've picked five movies and shows to add to your watchlist, including a few of my favorite films from this century, like "Burn After Reading" and "Hitch." I've also picked a couple of brand new Netflix Originals that are being released today.
