Every year, movies are being produced at faster rates and in greater quantity, and that’s thanks – in part – to streamers like Netflix. Because of their business strategy, customers can now watch thousands of films for the same price as a single cinema ticket. As such, the entertainment appetite of the American public has been growing stronger with each passing season. To that end, here’s an overview of the best new movies coming to Netflix next month.
First off, we got science fiction and fantasy. Fans of visiting other worlds will be in for a treat in July, as Netflix will be adding Cloud Atlas to its library. Directed by the Wachowski siblings – the same ones who created the now-infamous Matrix franchise – this time-traveling epic follows the stories of a handful of reincarnating souls who live their different yet similar lives across several centuries.
Up next we got acclaimed classics, from which Netflix has chosen the heavy-handed tear-jerker Schindler’s List. Directed by Steven Spielberg, this Holocaust film is based on the true story of a German factory director who saved hundreds of Jewish workers from genocide during the Holocaust. For those of you who don’t care much about the historical aspect of the films you watch, it’s also got one of Liam Neeson’s all-time greatest performances.
Moving on to action movies, the streamer will be adding three of the most iconic fighting films ever made: The Karate Kid, The Karate Kid Part II and The Karate Kid Part III. Rivaling even Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future series for the title of most entertaining movie trilogy ever, it follows the journey of one boy to beat his bullies by becoming a martial arts master.
Then, of course, there are family films. Having trouble keeping your kids under control now that rising coronavirus infections are causing governments to reinstate social distancing measures? Why not put on Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax? This animated pic, based on the beloved children’s story of the same name, also has an important ecological message that, in this day and age of climate change protests, couldn’t be more salient.
If none of those catch your eye, though, then know that Netflix will also be adding Donnie Brasco, Frida, Million Dollar Baby, Paranormal Activity, Splice, Sucker Punch, The Town, the original Total Recall and many, many more in July. And for the full list of everything coming next month, you can see below.
