- Ever sit around with friends discussing
an old or recent movie that you all love?
That nostalgic film that takes you back,
maybe a movie everyone has seen but you
and you've been threatening to actually watch it
but haven't gotten around to it.
Well, there are some greats out there
but they won't be available forever,
so I'm going to go through
some must-watch movies and shows leaving Netflix, Hulu,
Prime Video, and Peacock, in July,
so that you can add them to your watchlist and get it done.
Let's get into it.

Hulu has been on a tear lately,
I've finally finished up "The Boys" Season Three,
just started "Terminal List" with Chris Pratt,
and have been watching "Abbott Elementary,"
so I'm gonna begin there.
Leaving Hulu this month are some classics for everyone.
If it's sci-fi you're after,
then you have until July 30th
to watch "The Fifth Element," one of my personal faves,
then you also have
a highly-underrated sci-fi action flick called "Push."
Do yourself a favor and watch this if you have it.
And if sci-fi mixed with horror and gore
is what you live for, then "Resident Evil"
and its sequels are all leaving.
That's the 2002 film, then "Resident Evil: Apocalypse,"
"Extinction," and the movie that proves it ain't over
after you're extinct, there's "Afterlife."
If it's laughs you're after, then dodge, duck,
dip, dive, and dodge your way over to "Dodgeball,"
make Patches proud.
And if dodging monkey wrenches isn't your thing,
one of Jim Carey's funniest films,
"Me, Myself & Irene" is on its way out,
along with the buddy cop fave of mine, "The Other Guys."
Just watch out for those soup kitchens
if you are a Prius on you.
- You turned my beautiful Prius into a nightmare.
- [Stranger] We are gonna have sex in your car!
- If it's a film with heart you're after,
then Queen Latifah and Steve Martin
in "Bringing Down The House" should do the trick,
but there's also Dwayne Johnson
in an unexpectedly good "Gridiron Gang,"
and Drew Barrymore with Jim Fallon in "Fever Pitch."
Then all you fashionistas can put on those pumps
and sachet into "The Devil Wears Prada."
And there's something for the kids,
and for those wanting to remember their childhood
or teen years, anyway.
My nostalgia pick goes to "The Breakfast Club,"
and after you've satisfied your inner child,
you can take care of your own children
with "Stuart Little" and its sequel.
and double animal feature, "Happy Feet" and its sequel.
Mice and penguins,
the combination you didn't know you needed.
Next up, Prime Video, not a lot to talk about here
but there are a couple noteworthy movies and shows.
If you'd heard about the series "The Americans"
but never checked it out, now's the time,
but you only have until July 28th to get it in.
Then there are a few nostalgia picks
to add to the mix.
For the family there's
the 1973 animated classic "Charlotte's Web,"
and for some old school, black-and-white camp,
you can dig into 1953's "War of The World."
Next up on nostalgia lane,
it's Kirk Douglas in "Black Rain,"
a crime thriller set in Japan.
A period piece classic that I like to rewatch
from time to time, which is dying on Prime, is "Tombstone."
- I didn't think you had it in you.
- I'm your huckleberry.
- Like gritty cowboy revenge flicks?
Watch this one.
And if you like mystery or horror with your drama,
"Kiss The Girls," "The Haunting of Sharon Tate,"
and "Fargo" are all leaving by the end of the month.
(chill music)
Netflix is a mixed bag.
If it's horror movies you're into,
part of "The Conjuring" series is leaving,
so check out "Annabelle: Creation" before it ghosts you.
(girl screams) (suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music stops)
(air roaring)
If you're a fan of Quentin Tarantino and revenge flicks,
then "Django Unchained" may be just what you're looking for.
(air whooshes)
(metal whirring)
(gun bangs)
It's a personal favorite of mine in the genre,
and one of my favorite Tarantino movies
but it's Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz,
along with Leonardo de Caprio's memeable performance
that does it for me.
Well, actually it's everyone,
because Samuel Jackson is so good, you hate him
in this movie, I mean, really hate him.
(dramatic music) (wood cracks)
(Stephen crying)
And last but not least, I'm gonna call this power hours,
the power hours of binging.
Peacock, the pretty bird has some
pretty awesome action flicks, and a lot of 'em.
Unfortunately, the action is leaving this month,
so move on it before it does.
All of the first run
of Batman movies are on Peacock and leaving,
that's "Batman," "Batman & Robin,"
"Batman Forever," and "Batman Returns."
More in the superhero genre,
"Hellboy II: The Golden Army" is also leaving,
along with 2005's "Fantastic Four,"
and the anti-hero comedy "Mystery Men."
I won't be mad at you
if you don't watch "Fantastic Four" though.
If it's mystery and intrigue you're after,
"The Bourne Legacy" and "The Bourne Ultimatum" are there,
along with "Ocean's Eleven," "Twelve," and "Thirteen."
For sci-fi and fantasy, "Van Helsing,"
"Pitch Black," "The Chronicles of Riddick,"
and "Constantine," are always a good watch.
And if you just want to watch a good shoot 'em up
with excellent fight and gun play sequences,
watch all three "John Wick" movies
before Baba Yaga finds you.
Keanu cuts deep in this one.
(henchman yells) (glass clattering)
(henchman yells) (knives hiss)
(flesh squelches) (henchman groans)
(knives hiss)
(henchman hisses) (leather thuds)
(henchman grunts) (metal clanks)
(air whooshes) (flesh squelches)
(henchman gurgles) (henchman groans)
(flesh squelches) (henchman groans)
And you know me, I'm a big softy at heart,
so let's end this round up with some comedies and musicals
from the preening Peacock.
Catch "Ted 2," "Mamma Mia," "Liar Liar,"
and the TV show "3rd Rock From The Sun" before they leave.
And now I leave you with this familiar song and dance.
If there's any questions you have
about anything I've talked about here,
go ahead and leave them in the comments below.
Tell me which of the shows you're hankering to watch,
so I can just know that
and we can chat in the comments about it,
because I liked, like, almost,
and have seen almost all the shows
I talked about here, most of them.
So I'd love to do that.
I'm Tshaka Armstrong for reviews.org,
I will catch you on the next video.
