It’s July: The best movies leaving Netflix this week

While there’s a daily drop of new content on Netflix, everything from crazy shows to classic rom-coms, there’s also a steady stream of content leaving the global service.

So while you might think that a movie or TV show will be available to watch there forever, the truth is that’s not the case, some are only available for months at a time.

To help those who want to get the most out of their subscription, and to help with your viewing experience, Worth Watching has come up with a list of 10 horror movies that won’t be available on July 1 – so catch them while you can.

The Blind Side (2009)

Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for her performance as Leigh Anne Tuhoy in the drama about the story of Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron), who won a rare education to play in the NFL thanks, in part, to the Tuhoys – his guardian. parents.

Directed by John Lee Hancock (Saving Mr. Banks, The Founder), the film includes Tim McGraw, Kathy Bates and Lily Collins.

“This movie is a traditional drama that gives happiness in many ways. But Bullock and Aaron offer a heart that transcends genre,” wrote Roger Moore of The Orlando Sentinel.

Casper (1995)

Having a sandwich in the middle when Demi Moore took out her pottery wheel and Haley Joel Osment started seeing dead people, Hollywood tried to create a box office bonanza through the combination of one of the most loved stars of the time (Christina Ricci) and a famous comic book character that “friendly ghost”.

The characters, who are alive and “suffering from life”, are beautiful, while the story relates to both children and adults. As for the special effects, even after more than 25 years, they still stand up well and the gothic level is well placed under the Addams duo and the 1988 anarchic Beetlejuice.

Yes, Maybe (2008)

Fluffy, but a romantic comedy about a 30-year-old father in the midst of a divorce and a bedtime story he tells his 10-year-old daughter about his life before marriage.

The handsome Ryan Reynolds keeps Abigail Breslin – and the audience – imagining whether Isla Fisher, Elizabeth Banks or Rachel Weisz is his mother.

“A romantic drama with brains and heart, Indeed, it’s perhaps the rarest one that feels like it was written by a man, not a committee,” wrote Philadelphia Inquirer writer Steven Rea.

The Expendables (2010)

Stallone, Stallone, Lundgren, Li, Rourke, Austin, Roberts, Couture, Crews, Willis, Schwarzenegger.

It may sound like a list of the Premier League, but in fact it is a page of professionals who have acted in the past and of today that the veteran director Stallone managed to impress in the “old school” scene. And if only the player Wesley Snipes didn’t have a disciplinary problem, Kurt Russell was a team player or Steven Seagal solved his problems with the management.

As it is, there’s plenty of old-fashioned beef fighting for the screen in this story about an army known for their ability to get the job done – for the right price. After spotting Somali pirates, their latest mission is to head to the island of Vilena to bring down a corrupt president (Dexter’s David Zayas) who is aided by a rogue CIA agent (a well-oiled, well-oiled Eric Roberts).

The two sequels drop on Netflix on the same day, while the fourth film is set to hit theaters in October.

Inside Man (2006)

Denzel Washington, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster lead the impressive cast assembled to create Spike Lee’s and the crime enthusiast’s “perfect heist” who lives in danger.

Over the course of 24 hours, Lee and screenwriter Russell Gerwitz do an excellent job of breaking the tension, misleading the audience (as the tagline predicted, “you can’t judge a case by its cover”) and building up the consequences of the main events.

One of the greatest hits of the Noughties.

Million Dollar Baby (2004)

Despite the lead, director Clint Eastwood takes a back seat to Morgan Freeman and Hilary Swank in the Oscar-winning boxing drama.

Packed with a powerful emotional punch, it delivered one of the decade’s biggest twists, leaving many audiences in awe.

“She’s terrifying and poignant,” James Christopher of the Times wrote of Swank’s Academy Award-winning performance.

Little Report (2002)

Philip K. Dick’s 1995 short story The Minority Report received a movie adaptation in a Tom Cruise-starrer.

He plays John Anderton, an expert in PreCrime, a police tool used in 21st Century America to help prevent crimes before they happen – using psychics.

Director Steven Spielberg keeps the action coming fast and furious, making sure the story stays interesting. He is also known for raising awareness of the global potential of visualization.

The Punisher (2004)

The first attempt to bring to life the Marvel character who first appeared in the Spider-Man comics in 1974 was a disaster. Starring Dolph Lundgren, the 1989 movie, which was shot around Luna Park in Sydney, was not released in the US, was banned for two years in South Africa and ended Mark Goldblatt’s directorial career.

Fifteen years later, Thomas Jane’s throwback to the ravages of the 1980s was a hell of a lot of fun. And that’s despite (or because of) John Travolta’s pipe-smoking, pretty-chewing Howard Saint being the worst kind of movie villain.

Water Dogs (1992)

Quentin Tarantino’s former movie store clerk hits the spot with a crime drama about a gang of diamond thieves who set up a jewelry store gone horribly wrong.

Despite supporting the work of actors such as Steve Buscemi, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth and Michael Madsen, the writer-director Tarantino is the one who made a real mark, with his strong combination of pithy, intelligent dialogue and finger-painting music, which brought. bands like Stealers Wheel and Blue Swede make a comeback.

“Maybe I know a little in places, and maybe it carries a lot of cultural information, but this is an in-your-face, look-at-me style, designed to serve as a calling card for new talent,” wrote Anne Billson. of The Daily Telegraph.

True Reality (2010)

In John Wayne’s 1969 debut, Jeff Bridges excels as the taciturn Rooster Cogburn in the Coen brothers’ adaptation of Charles Portis’ 1968 novel.

His scheming, happy-go-lucky command is written by a stubborn teenager (Hailee Steinfeld in an impressive debut) determined to track down her father’s killer in 1870s America. Matt Damon, Josh Brolin and Barry Pepper also star.

“Horror: challenging, fun, funny, beautiful and magical, this is close to perfection,” wrote Empire magazine’s Angie Errigo.
