#5: “Bring It On” (2000)
Leaving: July 1st, 2018
A teen comedy about cheerleading might not sound like a film with mass appeal, but when this movie hit theaters in 2000, it was all anyone could talk about. With its great cast of relatable characters, a healthy dose of hilarious moments, and inspired cheerleading routines, “Bring It On” forced cinegoers to pay attention, regardless of gender or a previous interest in cheerleading. There’s just something so infinitely watchable about it. And yes, the less said about the sequels the better. But with the original disappearing from Netflix July 1st, 2018, we’re admittedly sad to see it go.
#5: “Shameless” season 8 (2011-)
Coming: July 28th, 2018
You’d think that a family this dysfunctional would have imploded after just a couple of seasons. Seriously, just how much can a group of people endure? But sure enough, the Gallagher family, led by intrepid troublemaker Frank (played by William H. Macy), have made it to 8 seasons - and they continue to earn strong ratings and critical acclaim. For fans of the show who prefer to binge watch a season at a time rather than digest it week by week on Showtime, rejoice! As of July 28th, 2018, the entire 8th season will be available on Netflix for your streaming pleasure!
#4: “Before Midnight” (2013)
Leaving: July 1st, 2018
For fans of Richard Linklater’s decades-spanning “Before” series, we’ve got some bad news: the most recent instalment is sadly no longer available on Netflix as of July 1st, 2018. Now… for those of you who aren’t familiar with this one of a kind franchise, allow us to get you up to speed as to why it’s removal from Netflix is such a loss. “Before Midnight” is the third film in the story of Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline ( Julie Delpy), a man and woman who met in the first film, “Before Sunrise” and who’s relationship we’ve been checking in on roughly every 9 years or so. These intimate, honest films are unlike anything you’ve seen before.
#4: “The Sinner” (2017-) Season 1
Coming: July 2nd, 2018
Had you written off Jessica Biel? You likely weren’t the only one. After a series of unremarkable and forgettable film roles over the last decade or so, it seemed as if Biel was shifting her priorities elsewhere. And then “The Sinner” came along and all of sudden… viewers were forced to seriously reassess their assumptions about Biel’s acting abilities. Chances are you missed this series while it was on USA Network, but you’ll now be able to binge-watch this gritty, provocative and super engaging crime drama/mystery when it comes to Netflix July 2nd, 2018. Why would a woman randomly murder an apparent stranger at the beach? You’ll just have to watch to find out.
#3: “V for Vendetta” (2005)
Leaving: July 1st, 2018
Comic book creator Alan Moore might not be a fan of this adaptation of his beloved graphic novel, (or any adaptations of his works, for that matter), but we certainly are. And that’s why it’s with a heavy heart that we’re warning you it will no longer be available on Netflix as of July 1st, 2018. It’s a real shame too, because this dystopian British tale of authoritarian regimes and revolutionary action is powerful, stylish and features excellent performances from a stellar cast including Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving, Stephen Rea, and John Hurt. “V for Vendetta”... you shall be missed.
#3: “Her” (2013)
Coming: July 29th 2018
You’ll have to wait until the end of the month for this modern masterpiece to appear in the new arrivals list, but it’s well worth the wait, we assure you. From writer and director Spike Jonze comes this romantic drama set in the near future that explores the relationship between a man (Joaquin Phoenix) and his AI operating system (Scarlett Johansson). Despite it’s sci-fi premise, this is a fundamentally human story that takes a deep emotional dive into the nuances and complexities of interpersonal relationships. The subtleties of performance delivered by Phoenix and Johansson ( the latter using nothing but her voice), are astounding.
#2: “Lethal Weapon” (1987)
Leaving: July 1st, 2018
Sorry action fans, but as of July 1st, 2018, you’ll need to look elsewhere for your Lethal Weapon fix, because Riggs and Murtaugh will no longer be calling the streaming service home. Not only are we bidding adieu to the original 1987 action classic, but all of its sequels as well. If you’re one of the few out there who has never gotten around to checking out this influential franchise, we’re sorry to say that you may have left it too long. If you’re a long term fan (notice that we didn’t say a die hard fan?), sadly, rewatching it will no longer be as easy as scrolling through the recently watched list.
#2: “Orange Is the New Black” season 6 (2013-)
Coming: July 27th, 2018
Everyone’s favorite motley crew of delinquents, oddballs and inmates return for a sixth season of this hit Netflix Original series. Admittedly, things had gotten very messy last season. The prison had been torn apart in the wake of Poussey’s death and things understandably only went downhill from there - with the conflict lasting the entire fifth season. It’s with baited breath that we’ve awaited the return of the series, as many fan favorite characters were last seen linking arms as the CERT officers blew open the doors to retake control of the prison. Suffice it to say, the season premiere is going to be a big one, and we’re expecting a season to match.
#1: “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (1961)
Leaving: July 2nd, 2018
Hey Netflix, when it comes to classics like this one, can we just get a permanent collection? Blake Edward’s critically-acclaimed loose adaptation of Truman Capote’s novella by the same name, starring Audrey Hepburn, is the sort of movie that we just sort of naturally assume will be on Netflix when we want to watch it. And up until July 2nd, 2018, we would have been right in that assumption…. but no more. So if you’re looking to get your Hepburn fix or sing along to the award-winning song “Moon River”, well… you’ll have to look elsewhere. Which is really too bad, because honestly, there’s no such thing as too much Holly Golightly.
#1: “Jurassic Park” (1993)
Coming: July 1st, 2018
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom came roaring into theaters June 22nd, and it’s sure to inspire a whole bunch of people to want to go back and revisit the films that came before it - starting first and foremost with Steven Spielberg’s 1993 blockbuster, “Jurassic Park”. Thankfully… Netflix has got you covered! Travel back in time to get reacquainted with the very first iteration of this prehistoric theme park and remember that John Hammond’s original vision was a well-intentioned one. We doubt he’d be happy with the legacy he left behind, but disasters, mayhem, casualties and all, we can’t wait to binge watch Jurassic Park and its sequels on Netflix.
