Best of Netflix: 10 movies to watch before they leave in July

• Netflix is losing 60 movies and shows from its streaming service in July 2020.
• Solo: A Star Wars Story and Ant-Man and the Wasp are both being absorbed by Disney+, which will leave Netflix without a single Star Wars or Marvel Studios movie.
• Netflix will also lose one of Quentin Tarantino’s best movies: Inglourious Basterds.

There are some months when I struggle to fill out this list, but July 2020 wasn’t one of them.

Netflix is losing a truckload of quality content next month, to the point where I actually had some trouble figuring out what I should leave off of this list. Sure, I could have expanded it to include more than 10 movies, but where’s the fun in that? Anyway, the story of this month, as it has been almost every month since Disney+ first launched, is that more Disney movies are disappearing from the Netflix library. In July, we’re losing Solo: A Star Wars Story, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and The Incredibles 2. Speaking of incredible, starting in August (unless it renews a license or two), Netflix will no longer have a single Star Wars or Marvel Studios movie on its entire service.

But Disney isn’t the only story, as there are some truly exceptional movies from other studios being removed from the Netflix library in July as well. I’ve had Ex Machina in my queue for about two years, so maybe its imminent departure will finally convince me to watch it. Also, if you haven’t seen Searching for Sugar Man, it’s great and one of my favorite documentaries of all time, and even if it comes back to Netflix eventually, don’t waste this opportunity to see it. Finally, it’s been far too long since I last saw Inglourious Basterds, so I might fire that up over the Fourth of July weekend in lieu of any plans that involve going outside because I refuse to get sick.

Here are the ten best movies and shows Netflix is dumping next month, and the date on which they will be dumped. If you don’t watch them before then, you might never get to see them on Netflix at all:

• Solo: A Star Wars Story | July 8th
• The Spectacular Now | July 11th
• Room | July 18th
• Inglourious Basterds | July 21st
• Ex Machina | July 25th
• Ant-Man and the Wasp | July 28th
• Her | July 28th
• The Incredibles 2 | July 29th
• Searching for Sugar Man | July 31st
• The Pursuit of Happyness | July 31st
