"Spring is a strange time for the powerhouse streaming service that is Netflix, since it spends so much energy in the fall and winter on big, original awards bait, saving escapist fare like Apex and Swapped for the offseason. To supplement, it often digs into the catalogue for heavy hitters in April and May, as evidenced by recent drops of cult classics, projects from renowned masters, and a Best Picture winner."
"The director of Poor Things reunited with his favorite star, Emma Stone, for this clever remake of Save the Green Planet! Stone stars opposite Jesse Plemons in this story of a troubled couple of cousins who kidnap a high-powered CEO because they're convinced she's an alien.

Simmons, centered on people who stumble upon CIA memoirs. The list also includes an epic Las Vegas origin story starring Robert De Niro, noted for ambitious filmmaking.
