If you’re old enough to remember Vanilla Ice and snap-on armbands, you’ll probably be pleased by the many throwbacks coming to US Netflix next month. Watch Vincent Vega plunge a syringe into Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction! Or a refrigerator lurch after Sarah Goldfarb in Requiem for a Dream! Wow, the ’90s were dark.
Note: This list refers to the US version of Netflix. It has a different library to Australia which changes from month to month. This information is only relevant to readers who access US Netflix using a VPN. Our roundup of Australian streaming library changes will be appearing soon.
The Highlights
Netflix is going deep into the archives this month, pulling out classics like She’s Gotta Have It (ahead of its reboot), Amores Perros and The Secret Garden, the only movie I watched more as a kid than A Little Princess. (Both, by the way, based on books written by Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett, who seems to have a real fixation on young girls brought up in India being sent to live in cold, stuffy dwellings in England.)
Also on tap are Jaws 1, 2, 3 and Jaws: The Revenge, perhaps designed to kill off any misplaced summer nostalgia?
On the topic of nostalgia, return to a simpler time with The Squid and the Whale, the 2005 Noah Baumbach dramedy set in 1986 Brooklyn and shot mostly on a handheld camera. Bonus features: The always-superb Jeff Daniels and Laura Linney, plus a precociously distraught young Jesse Eisenberg.
For a real shock, check out The Rugrats Movie and realise that it came out almost 20 years ago.
Those departing include The Emperor’s New Groove, by far the best Disney film ever created (don’t @ me), as well as Hope Floats, The Omen and Scream. Jackass the Movie is also taking leave, but at least we get Hotel for Dogs in its place.
