As winter starts to dig its way in, Netflix cycles through another set of movies. This time around, you’ll see the return of the Gilmore Girls, a couple of Stephen King classics, and more.




Highlights

It’s a bit of a slow month on both the coming and going front. Though they’re a bit late after Halloween, Stephen King fans will appreciate the arrival of both the excellent Cujo (RT: 60%) and the terrible Thinner (RT: 16%). Also arriving are the Coen Brothers’ conspiracy-comedy, Burn After Reading (RT: 78%), that one movie everyone’s always talking about that took 12 years to film, Boyhood (RT: 98%), and the Bogart-Hepburn classic, The African Queen (RT: 100%).


As has been the case for the bulk of this year, it’s more about Netflix originals this month. There are a few new original and exclusive series coming, including a new drama about Queen Elizabeth, The Crown and Gilmore Girls, which plays out like a mini-series about a quirky family in a quirky town. There’s also Lovesick (formally known as Scrotal Recall), Case, Roman Empire: Reign of Blood, the conspiracy-thriller Paranoid, and the Brazilian post-apocalyptic thriller, 3%. Also coming along are a handful of new films, including the Kevin James led True Memoirs of an International Assassin, Divines, Mercy, and The Ivory Game, a documentary about ivory trading.

Finally, it’s your last chance to catch a few classics, including Deliverance (RT: 93%), E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (RT: 98%), The Burbs (RT: 47%), and Spy Game (RT: 66%). More notable than every single one of those movies is The Core, which leaves November 1. If you haven’t seen The Core (RT: 41%), now’s as good a time as any to watch one of the least scientifically accurate, comically horrendous movies. I promise, it’ll make you feel better.
