The Austin Powers Trilogy (1997, 1999, 2002)
Enter the colorful and wacky universe of the Austin Powers trilogy, where Mike Myers embodies the enigmatic Austin Powers. Under Jay Roach’s direction, these films provide an outrageous spoof on 1960s spy films with Myers’ iconic comedic delivery taking center stage. Dr. Evil, Powers’ arch-nemesis, continues to churn out ludicrous schemes while our endearing hero foils them with his unconventional methods. This delightfully absurd series is sure to leave you giggling and grooving to its funky tunes.
Your last day to watch the Austin Powers trilogy will be June 30, 2023.
Pitch Perfect (2012)
Jason Moore’s Pitch Perfect serves as a delightful musical escapade into the world of college a cappella. Featuring a charming performance by Anna Kendrick, the film highlights the challenges and joys of teamwork in an all-female group, the Barden Bellas. The harmonious blend of comedy, drama, and catchy music makes for an infectiously entertaining watch. With its memorable characters and humorous undertones, this movie creates an exhilarating aura that echoes long after the final note.
Your last day to watch Pitch Perfect will be June 30, 2023.
World War Z (2013)
World War Z, helmed by Marc Forster and starring Brad Pitt, presents a chilling apocalypse survival story with a unique twist. The narrative follows a former United Nations investigator’s global search for the zombie pandemic’s source. Forster adeptly balances chilling horror with suspenseful action, making the film a gripping exploration of survival in a world gone awry. Its compelling storyline and intense performances make it a standout within the zombie thriller genre.
Your last day to watch World War Z will be June 30, 2023.
How to Train Your Dragon (2010)
In the beautiful animation of How to Train Your Dragon, directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois craft a heartwarming tale of friendship and courage. The story centers around Hiccup, a young Viking, and Toothless, a feared dragon, who form an unlikely bond. The film beautifully captures their journey, making it a visually enchanting experience that appeals to both young and mature audiences. It’s a touching reminder of the power of friendship and the importance of understanding others.

Bad Boys I & II (1995, 2003)
Bad Boys I & II, directed by Michael Bay, deliver an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride featuring the dynamic duo of Martin Lawrence and Will Smith. The narratives weave together action-packed sequences, humor, and captivating performances to create an engaging cinematic experience. The pair’s camaraderie shines through as they navigate high-stakes criminal cases and personal trials. Their interplay offers a refreshing spin on the traditional action film format, making these two installments a unique viewing experience.

Friday Night Lights (2004)
Peter Berg’s Friday Night Lights provides an intimate glimpse into the intense world of Texas high school football. Billy Bob Thornton delivers a powerful performance as a driven coach navigating the high-pressure world of competitive sports. The film eloquently captures the hopes, dreams, and struggles of the team members and their tight-knit community. This poignant portrayal of American football culture leaves a lasting impression.

Jerry Maguire (1996)
Jerry Maguire, helmed by Cameron Crowe, showcases Tom Cruise in a memorable role as a sports agent who embarks on a journey of self-discovery. The film’s narrative eloquently blends elements of romance, comedy, and drama, creating a heartwarming viewing experience. It also offers iconic dialogue that has since permeated pop culture. It’s a testament to the power of redemption and the human spirit’s resilience.

Resident Evil: Retribution (2012)
There are three other Resident Evil movies exiting Netflix this month (including Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Afterlife, and Resident Evil: Apocalypse). But, in my opinion, none of the other movies match the entertaining heights of the franchise’s fifth entry. Embrace the apocalyptic world of Resident Evil: Retribution, where director Paul W.S. Anderson propels audiences into a universe overrun by the undead. Milla Jovovich returns as Alice, displaying her commendable action prowess and unyielding resilience against an onslaught of nightmarish creatures. The film’s visually compelling narrative and heart-stopping sequences present a thrilling rollercoaster ride that keeps viewers riveted till the very end.
Your last day to watch Resident Evil: Retribution will be June 30, 2023.
Marnie (1964)
Another great Alfred Hitchcock classic, The Birds, is leaving Netflix as well this month. But I’d like to take a second to highlight one of his best lesser-known works. Marnie is a psychological thriller that unravels the enigmatic life of a woman with a mysterious past. The film features a gripping performance by Tippi Hedren, who brings depth and nuance to her complex character. Hitchcock’s masterful storytelling and the suspenseful plot twists make this an unforgettable classic. The exploration of psychology, deceit, and redemption solidify its place as a remarkable piece of cinema.
Your last day to watch Marnie will be June 30, 2023.
Home Again (2017)
In Home Again, directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer, Reese Witherspoon shines as a newly single mother navigating life, love, and unexpected house guests. The narrative delicately balances comedy, drama, and romance, painting a heartwarming picture of second chances and self-discovery. With a charming performance from Witherspoon and a supporting cast that brings warmth and humor, this film is a delightful exploration of modern family dynamics and personal growth.
Your last day to watch Home Again will be June 30, 2023.
