As the weather heats up in summer, so come baseball games, pool or beach days, an extended school break, Fourth of July fireworks, and backyard barbecues. But no matter how many trips and activities you try to pack into the longer days of the season, you’ll have to take some time to go inside to cool down. That’s where the movies that are leaving Netflix in July come in: With just a little bit more time left to watch these titles, it’s important to squeeze them in when you’re soaking up some AC.
Just because you’re streaming from the comfort of your couch doesn’t mean you can’t channel more summer fun, though. You could swap baseball in the stadium for baseball on the big screen with Moneyball, the Oscar-nominated film starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. If baseball isn’t your sport, try your hand at King Richard, which tells the stories of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams. Or get ready to head out for college at the end of summer break in the ’70s classic American Graffiti.
No matter what you and your family decide to watch, be sure to get it in your queue before it’s too late. The list below highlights the films and TV shows leaving Netflix in the US this month.
