SOMMMMMMEEEBOOOODDDDYYYYY ONNCEEE….. You recognize the remainder! I nonetheless imagine that Shrek is the defining millennial animation film. It’s simply considered one of my favorites from the 2000s and is among the few movies that I’ve awarded an annual rewatch.
If you happen to’re a millennial or only a fan of Shrek, not one, not two, however all 4 Shrek films are heading to Netflix for nostalgia overload this September. The primary and second are nonetheless one of the best in my books, however there’s nonetheless a great motive to look at the opposite two as nicely, the arrival of the fifth movie in a few years (sure, it was delayed again). Calm down for an final binge with Shrek, Donkey, Fiona and the opposite assortment of characters all through the movie franchise.
Charlie Sheen Assortment

Moreover, a bonus: by the point you’re studying this, Netflix could have already dropped Grizzly II, the creature horror movie starring Charlie Sheen alongside George Clooney and Laura Dern. It’s a bit tough across the edges (to say the least), however if you wish to see what these stars had been as much as in 1983 (sure, 42 years in the past!) Netflix now holds that little bit of historical past for a restricted time.
Bombshell (2019)
Coming to Netflix: September tenth

There was quite a lot of hubbub about this film when it first dropped in cinemas six years in the past. The movie seeks to sort out a problem behind America’s most-watched information community: Fox Information. That includes powerhouse performances from Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie, the movie pulls again the curtain on the poisonous office tradition below Roger Ailes, who ran the outlet since its inception, and the ladies who helped deliver it down.
Directed by Jay Roach with a script by Charles Randolph (The Massive Brief), Bombshell blended the newsroom stress with behind-the-scenes energy struggles, all wrapped in unnervingly correct make-up and performances that border on mimicry. It appears to be extensively forgotten about lately however remains to be brilliantly put collectively.
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Coming to Netflix: September 1st
Not too long ago, the world-renowned director Quentin Tarantino weighed in on the question of which is his greatest film. His nuanced reply rattled by means of the reasoning behind his greatest movies. Nonetheless, he finally stated, “I believe Inglourious Basterds is my greatest script, and I believe Hateful Eight and As soon as Upon a Time … in Hollywood are proper behind.” It’s actually onerous to argue with him on this specific choose.
Tarantino’s brutal, trendy, and wickedly revisionist World Conflict II epic. Mixing spaghetti western with wartime sabotage, the movie follows a rogue squad of Jewish-American troopers on a mission to take down the Third Reich by any bloody means vital. Brad Pitt chews by means of Nazi scalps and surroundings as Lt. Aldo Raine, but it surely’s Christoph Waltz because the chillingly well mannered Hans Landa who steals the entire present.
Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. (2023)
Coming to Netflix: September eleventh
One other spotlight touchdown this September is the criminaly neglected Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret., the difference of Judy Blume’s beloved coming-of-age novel.

Transferring On (2022)
Coming to Netflix: September 14th
If you happen to’re lacking Grace & Frankie and craving extra sharp-tongued chemistry between Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, Transferring On would possibly go some method to scratch that itch.
The movie reunites the enduring duo in a darkish comedy about two estranged associates who reconnect at a funeral and quietly plot revenge towards the person who wronged them each years earlier. Directed by Paul Weitz (A couple of Boy), Transferring On has a surprisingly heartfelt core whereas delivering loads of laughs for all ages alongside the best way… It’s arguably not their greatest film collectively, however nonetheless a enjoyable romp all the identical.
