Spring has sprung. Flowers bud on trees, birds begin their migrations north, and the endless days of winter end, finally. Spring this year also means many films are finally coming out after their theatrical releases were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of the films on this list found homes on streaming services after the limbo of the last year, making May a good month to dive into fresh offerings.
Stacker scoured the slate of May additions to major streamers like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and HBO Max and chose 15 great films that represent a diverse array of cinematic expression. They are presented in alphabetical order.

An iconic stuntman who appeared in the likes of Alien, Flash Gordon, Doctor Who and A Clockwork Orange has died at the age of 88.
Bricket Wood resident Roy Scammell, who also enjoyed a career as a dancer, ice skater and actor, was born in Kingsbury on July 28 1932 and died on May 15 2021 at Luton and Dunstable Hospital following a short illness.
He left school at the age of 13 and pursued a passion for skating, landing a semi-pro title for the Wembley Lions. In between games he worked on an act jumping over 16 barrels on the ice, landing an audition on the Tom Arnold Ice Show.
Japanese Breakfast releases Jubilee on June 4th.
March 2022 will bring Michelle Zauner and her approaching new Japanese Breakfast album to the UK.
Gigs in Bristol, Manchester, Glasgow and Leeds have been lined up for that month, while the closing night is booked at the O2 Forum in London.
Also out is a video for Savage Good Boy starring Sopranos royalty Michael Imperioli, a track built from a headline Zauner read ‘about billionaires buying bunkers’:
“I was interested in examining that specific type of villainy, and I found myself adopting the perspective of a rich man coaxing a young woman to come live with him underground, attempting to rationalize his almost impossible share of greed and miserliness.”

A former City headhunter turned photographer who took one of the defining pictures from last year’s Black Lives Matter protests in London has been appointed chair of Britain’s largest arts centre.
Misan Harriman is to succeed Susan Gilchrist as chair of trustees at the Southbank Centre, it was announced on Thursday.
In June, Harriman photographed 18-year-old protester Darcy Bourne with a banner which simply asked: “Why is ending racism a debate?”
The image went viral after being shared by figures including the Vogue editor, Edward Enninful, the athlete Dina Asher-Smith, the racing car driver Lewis Hamilton, and Martin Luther King III.
