Summer’s already nearing its end, and Netflix is trying to prevent you from going outside with a new series about the rise of hip-hop and disco, a handful of original movies, and perhaps most importantly, the first and third The Fast and the Furious movies.




The Highlights

This is a quieter month than usual. The Fast and the Furious (RT: 53%) and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (RT: 37%) finally join 2 Fast 2 Furious in the Netflix library, which was sitting around awkwardly as the only movie in the series on Netflix.


As for actually critically acclaimed movies, a few solid picks are coming in, including Abdellatif Kechiche’s drama, Blue Is the Warmest Color (RT: 90%). If you’re more of a Cormac McCarthy fan, the excellent No Country for Old Men (RT: 93%) arrives on August 11th, and The Road (RT: 75%) arrives on August 25th.

If garbage movies are more your flavor, you’ll be happy to see that two Christmas movies arrive for some reason with both Beethoven’s Christmas Adventure and the Nicolas Cage drunk history version of It’s a Wonderful Life, The Family Man (RT: 53%).

Netflix Originals and Exclusives are once again the real highlight though. The Get Down is a new music-centric series that takes place in New York in the late ‘70s, and chronicles the rise of disco and hip-hop in the South Bronx. If you’re looking for the complete opposite of that, Netflix still has you covered with XOXO, which based on the description appears to be about a bunch of 20-something EDM fans reenacting the forgotten late ‘90s gem, Go. Speaking of EDM, Netflix is also dropping a documentary about Steve Aoki called I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead. For the kids, The Little Prince (RT: 95%) looks like a fantastic ode to a classic children’s story, and for the cowboys, Fearless is a six-party documentary about bull riders. Finally, in a bid to be topical, Netflix is bringing Funny or Die’s Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal: The Movie to your TV after it was cut from the website.

Finally, the good news, almost nothing worthwhile is leaving Netflix this month, but it is your last chance to watch The Sandlot (RT: 58%) and Charlie’s Angels (RT: 68%).
