Spring has sprung – well, technically. Considering the Wisconsin weather, we still have to brace ourselves for some exceptionally crummy nights of cold, slushy crud. And thankfully Netflix is here to help while we wait for our annual week of spring, with its newly announced list of fresh arrivals amongst the April showers.

We're closing in on the start of summer action blockbuster season – but in case this year's crop is all crap, watch some of the best big-screen bops with "Inception," the original "Spider-Man" trilogy and the "Bourne" trilogy exploding onto the Big Red Streaming Monolith next month. Though if you prefer explosions of laughter rather than exploding fireballs, comedy hits "Not Another Teen Movie" and "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" will chuckle onto the streaming service as well. There's new TV too – because while the streamer is losing "New Girl" and "The IT Crowd," it will gain the last season of "Better Call Saul."

There's a lack of kids movies in theaters currently, but Netflix is thankfully here to help with "Hotel Transylvania," "How to Train Your Dragon," "The Land Before Time" and "Puss in Boots" all arriving in April. And while sports will be in the full swing of things with the NCAA tournament, the start of baseball, the NBA playoffs and the NFL Draft, in case we've got a rainout, there's now "A League of Their Own" and "Friday Night Lights" to make sure we play ball no matter the forecast. 

Netflix will obviously bring in a bunch of brand new content, with originals like "Beef," a "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" reunion, a new season of "Workin Moms" and a fresh John Mulaney stand-up special. But the biggest new arrival of April? Old movies! Yes, the streaming service famously has a short memory, with its library rarely venturing beyond 1985 – but next month they've got flashback favorites like "Smokey and the Bandit" and a trio of Hitchcock classics ("The Birds," "Marnie" and "Psycho") in store.

That's just the beginning of all April has to offer – so here's the full list of new movies and TV shows coming to Netflix next month.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
