#What’s New to Stream on Netflix for July 2020, and What’s Leaving

The complete list of movies and shows hitting (and leaving) Netflix this month — July 2020 — is below, but first I’m going to highlight a few that stand apart from the bunch.

Netflix Pick of the Month

Charlize Theron, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Chiwetel Ejiofor headline a movie about immortal mercenaries pledged to do good for humanity even as they grow tired of seeing humanity continue to display epic cruelties upon each other. I’m under embargo as I write this so I can’t offer an opinion — on my pick of the month — so I’ll only add that it’s directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (Beyond the Lights, 2014). The Old Guard premieres on July 10th.

The Oldest Movies of the Month

One of the beefs that still get dropped on Netflix’s doorstep is their severe lack of older films — you can usually count on two hands the number of available movies made before 1980 — and it’s a legit gripe. For that reason, I like to highlight when they add “older” films to the service. Three movies from the 70s are arriving for July at the start of the month. First up is Fiddler on the Roof (1971) featuring singing, dancing, and Topol. Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets (1973) was his third narrative feature, but for many it’s the first of his films that fully feels like a “Scorsese film.” A Bridge Too Far (1977), meanwhile, is a World War II epic from Richard Attenborough featuring one hell of a cast including James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Elliott Gould, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Ryan O’Neal, and more familiar faces.

A Series Based on the Life of Meg Shields

“After waking up in a morgue, an orphaned teen discovers she now possesses superpowers as the chosen Halo-Bearer for a secret sect of demon-hunting nuns.” Come on, how do we not get excited about that premise? Our own Meg Shields doesn’t like to talk about it, but if you catch her on the right day, she’ll regale you with stories about her previous career fighting evil in the name of the Lord. Which lord exactly was always unclear, but still, great stories. Warrior Nun arrives on July 2nd.

Get Your Action Fix!

Sometimes you want some glorious but dumb as rocks action, and Swordfish (2001) can scratch that itch. Other times you want more character development, and Ben Affleck has you back with his fantastic sophomore effort as director, The Town (2010). And sometimes, just sometimes, you want the concluding chapter in a reliably great action franchise, and to that end Donnie Yen, Scott Adkins, and Ip Man 4: The Finale (2019) will be punching their way into your heart starting July 21st.
