3 underrated movies you need to watch in June 2025

It's been a strong few weeks at the box office. Lilo & Stitch and Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning powered a record-breaking Memorial Day box office. While Ballerina stumbled the week after, the live-action How to Train Your Dragon got off to a fantastic start with an $84 million opening. June still has several high-profile releases coming, including 28 Years Later, Elio, and F1. Many of these movies are sequels and IP-based projects, which tend to release during the summer blockbuster season. However, there are several underrated movies to watch this month. Some of these projects, like Ash, can be streamed at home. Recommended Videos When you're done here, check out the best new movies to stream this week, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Max, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, and the best movies on Disney+. Ash (2025) Ash is exactly what a B-movie should be. Directed by Flying Lotus, Ash follows Riya Ortiz (Eiza González), an astronaut who wakes up in a space station on a foreign planet with no memories. As Riya explores the station, she finds several crew members have been brutally slaughtered. The key to Riya's questions lies with Brion (Aaron Paul), a fellow astronaut who comes to the station after receiving a distress call. At first, Riya cannot comprehend what happened to the crew. As she experiences flashbacks, Riya starts to consider that perhaps she had something to do with her team's demise. Ash doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it packs a punch thanks to starry visuals, gory action, and a standout performance from González. Stream Ash on Shudder. Echo Valley (2025) Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney star in Echo Valley, Apple TV+'s thriller ripped directly from the '90s. Written by Mare of Easttown's Brad Ingelsby, Echo Valley introduces Kate Garrett (Moore), a horse trainer on her farm in Pennsylvania. Kate's life is in shambles after the loss of her wife, which affects her ability to pay the bills and keep the farm running. Kate's daughter, Claire (Sydney Sweeney), mistakenly throws a heroin stash in the river, leading to an explosive confrontation with the drug dealer on the farm. A few nights later, Claire shows up covered in the blood of her boyfriend. Kate now tackles the question faced by many parents: How far are you willing to go to protect your child? Stream Echo Valley on Apple TV+. Dangerous Animals (2025) It's fitting that a new shark movie comes in the same month that Jaws celebrates its 50th anniversary. While a great white shark plays the villain in Jaws, a serial killer becomes the primary antagonist in Dangerous Animals. Tucker (Jai Courtney) runs a cage diving business, recruiting tourists to swim with sharks. Yet Tucker has a dark secret — he feeds his passengers to the sharks and films their deaths. For his next victim, Tucker kidnaps the rebellious surfer Zephyr (Hassie Harrison) and shackles her on his boat. Zephyr won't go down without a fight, which surprisingly excites the eccentric Tucker. Courtney lets it all go to play this flamboyant serial killer, while Harrison's star-making performance shines in this effective summer thriller. Dangerous Animals is now in theaters.

You Need to Hear the Advice Brad Pitt Would Give His Younger Self

Originally appeared on E! Online Once upon a time in Hollywood, Brad Pitt was just starting out. And while it may be hard to think of the Oscar winner as anything other than the household name he is now, back in 1987 Pitt didn't have all the answers—though he does now. If the 61-year-old could give advice to his younger self, he'd say, 'Don't sweat it, bro. Trust yourself.' 'I mean so many things that were just a waste of time, I agonized over in the early years,' Pitt shared in an exclusive interview with E! News while promoting his new film, F1. 'Really, really, just trust your voice.' It's a sentiment his costar Javier Bardem wish he could tell his younger self, too. 'Don't try so hard,' he said. 'Don't push yourself. Trust more in your instinct, in your inner voice.' (For more with the F1 crew, tune into E! News tonight, June 16 at 11p.m.) Though, Bardem knows hindsight is 20/20. More from E! Online Justin Timberlake Celebrates Father's Day With Rare Photos of His and Jessica Biel's Sons Jenna Bush Hager Gets a Dramatic Haircut While Live on Air 'Traumatized' Justin Bieber Shares Text Message Ending a Friendship 'It's easy to say now, when you are older,' the 56-year-old conceded. 'But when you are young so much is at stake. You want to prove yourself to prove others so much.' But now? They're much more comfortable with their place in the Hollywood. As Bardem explained, 'Now I think we are fine with that. Like, okay, if you like what I do, great. If you don't, I'm sorry. But when you're young it's like, 'You have to like me!'' Like them, Hollywood has also transformed. 'It's gone through so many different incarnations,' Pitt said. 'I remember when the '90s came in, it was all about the independent cinema and just getting back to, like, '70s kind of filmmaking. Then we saw in the arts, the blockbuster was emerging again, and then streamers came on and just changed everything all over again.' He continued, 'The cool thing about it is that there's just more and more people getting opportunities like these. This pool of talented people always existed, but now so many more writers, directors, editors, so on, so forth, get to do this thing. And that I like, very cool.' And one such person who recently entered the race is Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, who appears with Javier and Brad in F1. Which, yeah, made Pitt nervous. 'Can you imagine the gall to go, 'I'm going to drive seven-time world champion around the track?' The absurdity of that?' Pitt joked. 'But I swallowed it, and it's very humbling. And he's a great human being and we just, we couldn't make this movie without his expertise.' F1 races into theaters June 27.
