Upcoming Movies on Netflix: Every month Netflix adds and removes several movies from its roster, however August looks quite promising. The streamer’s latest batch of offerings are big on comedy, blockbusters, and biopics—including a Stanley Kubrick all-timer.
1. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
This beloved John Hughes comedy is always worth a rewatch, starring Matthew Broderick as a teen who is literally “too cool for school.” Broderick gives a career-defining performance as a Chicago teen who ditches class and picks up his girlfriend and best friend in a shiny red Ferrari, the result is a truly unforgettable day off. The cult classic is now streaming on Netflix.
2. Flight
After a decade making CGI animated films, Robert Zemeckis returned to the live-action scene with a bang in 2012. Starring Denzel Washington as an alcoholic pilot, “Flight” tells the story of his heroic actions in a plane crash leading to an investigation of his demons.
The taut drama is now streaming on Netflix, so make sure you don’t miss out on this phenomenal performance from Washington.
3. 8 Mile
Arguably the most memorable part of this movie is the Oscar-winning song from rapper Eminem. However, “8-Mile holds up surprisingly well as a narrative film.
Eminem starring in his own fictionalized biopic in 2002 sounds kind of ridiculous, and it’s a concept that could have gone off the rails in less capable hands. But Curtis Hanson crafted a solid story about poverty and how rap helps lift people out of it, putting a fresh spin on the music biopic genre in the process. If nothing else, the fantastic rap battles alone make “8 Mile” worth a watch, so make sure to catch it.
4. Skyfall
The shoes of 007 are not easy to fill, but Daniel Craig got into them quite smoothly, breathing new life into the James bond franchise with “Casino Royale,” while “No Time to Die” pushed the character to new emotional depths. However “Quantum of Solace” and “Spectre” only disappointed fans. But undoubtedly, the highlight of Daniel Craig’s tenure as James Bond is “Skyfall.”
Creating history as the first Bond film to tell a completely original story, “Skyfall” proved the franchise is more than capable of standing on its own two feet without help from an Ian Fleming novel, with the help of Adele whole delivered a Bond song for the ages. In short, “Skyfall” is nothing less than blockbuster spy filmmaking at its absolute best.
5. The Nice Guys
An unlikely pairing that ended up working like butter and bread was Ryan Gosling and Russel Crowe in the film “The Nice Guys.” The comedic duo star in the hilarious dark comedy from director Shane Black. When a porn star is murdered in a brutal fashion, a terrible private eye (Gosling) and an all-business fixer (Crowe) have to team up on a journey through 1970s Los Angeles to find her.
The film is equal parts brutal and heartwarming, and shouldn’t be missed when it begins streaming on Netflix on August 9.
6. Eyes Wide Shut
Stanley Kubrick was one of the greatest mind in cinematic history. The auteur was notoriously distrustful of social institutions, and his final labour of work is an analysis into the institution of marriage.
The psychosexual drama starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman shows a married couple whose sexual boredom leads them into the depths of a deranged sex cult. “Eyes Wide Shut” is collectively regarded as one of the greatest filmographies in the history of cinema, and is now streaming on Netflix.
