8 Films You Need to Rewatch Before They Leave Netflix This Month

While binge-watching Netflix may be the last thing you want to do this summer, streaming a few movies on a cozy movie night can never hurt. And thanks to the steamer's extensive library, you won't be left out of options.

If you already have your subscription active for the rest of July, you might as well take your last chance and check out these 8 movies that are leaving the platform this month.

The Beguiled (2017)

If you enjoyed Sofia Coppola's recent hit Priscilla, which tells the story of the disastrous love and abuse in Priscilla Presley's marriage to Elvis, chances are you'll find 2017's The Beguiled just as exciting.

Set in the mid-1800s, the movie follows Martha Farnsworth, who runs a school for girls in Virginia during the American Civil War. Starring Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman and Kirsten Dunst, this period thriller has no chance of leaving anyone indifferent.

American Graffiti (1973)

With a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, American Graffiti is one of the most beloved and truly iconic coming-of-age films ever made. Directed by George Lucas and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, the film perfectly captures the culture and struggles of young people in the '60s in just one night.

A young Harrison Ford as Bob Falfa is just the icing on the cake of the dynamic and comedic time capsule that is American Graffiti.

Fatal Attraction (1987)

Another oldie but goodie, Fatal Attraction takes a deeper look at the struggles of a different demographic and explores all the intricacies of love, marriage, and quick pleasures that can end up being much bigger affairs.

A psychological thriller, Fatal Attraction is the story of a married man who breaks his vows for a one-night stand and then must find a way to escape his mistress, who is determined to ruin his marriage and get him all to herself.

Shrek (2001)

This is one of those movies that needs no further description. After becoming a box office hit, the animated journey of the green ogre recruited to save a princess went viral on the Internet and experienced a second renaissance.

Unfortunately, the movie will no longer be available on Netflix after July 31, so if you want to revisit one of the most popular animated stories of all time, hurry before it's gone.

Public Enemies (2009)

Though the film was not critically acclaimed, audiences loved it. If not for the exciting story, then for the star-studded cast.

The biographical crime story of the fight between the criminal gang and federal agents stars Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, and Marion Cotillard, among others, making it a great choice for a fun movie night after a long day at work.

The Matrix ( 1999) (+ The Matrix Reloaded, and The Matrix Revolutions)

The first three of four films in the Matrix franchise will leave Netflix on July 31, so if you've been looking for a sign to run a marathon through the Wachowskis' cyberpunk universe, this might be your call.

If you're not too scared to compare the world of technology, artificial intelligence, and self-aware machines of the early 2000s with whatever reality has become a few decades later, join Keanu Reeves ' Neo on a journey to save humanity from the oppressive system.

The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)

Another period drama piece from the list wasn’t too welcomed by movie critics and historians, as it gave a false portrayal of the Boleyn family and Henry VIII. However, if you are not looking for the accuracy, but want to see a raunchy and intriguing dramatic interpretation of events, it still may be right up your alley.

Starring Natalie Portman as Anne Boleyn, Scarlett Johansson as Mary Boleyn, and Eric Bana as King Henry VIII, The Other Boleyn Girl is all about the passion and power, which often go hand in hand.

The Theory of Everything (2014)

A decade ago, The Theory of Everything became an instant hit, and now you have your last chance to enjoy it on Netflix before it moves to another platform.

The romantic and hopeful life story of theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, directed by James Marsh, cost $15 million to produce and grossed $123 million at the box office, winning star Eddie Redmayne the Academy Award for Best Actor and many other accolades.
