5. 13 Going on 30 (2004)
Coming to Netflix: May 1, 2026Jennifer Garner couldn't be more charming in a fantasy rom-com that cemented her as a movie star. 13 Going on 30 is a gender-swapped twist on Big, co-starring Judy Greer and Mark Ruffalo. And while it was a modest hit with critics (and at the box office), the film was a huge bestseller on DVD.?

4. The Breakfast Club (1985)
Coming to Netflix: May 1, 2026Easily one of writer/director John Hughes’s best ’80s teen movies, this 1985 film feels more like a play, as a group of high schoolers spend one Saturday in an all-day detention pondering life. They couldn’t be more different, calling themselves “a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal.” But as they goof off, argue, conspire against the assistant principal, and reveal much about their lives to each other, they all come out just a little bit more sure of themselves. Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall and Ally Sheedy lead the ensemble cast.
20th Century Fox
3. Borat (2006)
Coming to Netflix: May 1, 2026When British satirist Sacha Baron Cohenunleashed his misogynistic character Borat on an unsuspecting U.S.A., he wanted to expose Americans’ own blind spots. But the fictional Kazakh journalist in the ill-fitting suit also made America laugh, do countless bad impressions (“My wife!”), and gape at this unscripted, prank-filled feature film, which probably couldn’t have been made at any other time in film history.Related: Laugh and Swoon With the 82 Best Romantic Comedies of All Time

1. Meet the Parents (2000)
Coming to Netflix: May 1, 2026Perhaps the scariest rite of passage for any new couple is meeting your significant other's parents. Sure, plenty of parents are lovely, but there are also plenty of truly awful moms and dads waiting in the wings to wreak havoc. The Ben Stiller/Robert De Niro classic is about just that. Stiller's Greg is meeting his future in-laws for the first time, and Robert De Niro's Jack is not happy about it. The original was such a success that it spawned two sequels, in which Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand arrive as Greg's parents.
