What s Leaving Netflix in August 2020
What's Leaving Netflix in August 2020 Movies for Grownups
In the era of COVID confinement, Bill Murray's immortal comedy about the same day replayed day after day has never been more relevant. And after you see it, see the same concept done brilliantly in Netflix's Russian Doll and Hulu's new Palm Springs. Critic's Pick: Jerry Maguire
and have never been better than they are in their Cameron Crowe classic about a rebel sports agent and the girl he had at “Hello." Critic's Pick: Public Enemies
Johnny Depp's bank robber John Dillinger is pretty much the good guy pursued by much-less-good guys J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup) and G-man Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) in a Depression-era saga by gangster-film auteur Michael Mann (Manhunter, Heat). A bit familiar, but worth a look. Critic's Pick: School Daze
Disorganized even by Spike Lee standards, it's still an extremely watchable semi-comedy, semi-musical about an all-Black college (inspired by Lee's own undergrad experience) and the cultural clash between its students — for once, not defined with reference to whites. Lee is good as a kid yearning to pledge at a frat, Laurence Fishburne better as his highbrow activist cousin. Critic's Pick: Tootsie
Dustin Hoffman was never a greater man than when he played a desperate actor impersonating a woman to get a soap opera job. But he's nearly upstaged by the superb comic cast: Bill Murray, Jessica Lange, Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman, , and its director, Sydney Pollack, as Hoffman's bewildered agent. Critic's Pick: United 93
What was it like to be aboard a jet hijacked by terrorists on 9/11 and resisting them heroically? Or to be the air traffic controllers on the ground struggling to cope with the crisis? This movie plays like you're there as events unfold in real time.

By the director of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Critic's Pick: Get Him to the Greek It's crude and messy, but no question, Jonah Hill and Russell Brand are funny as an under-qualified music exec and the out-of-control rock star he must get under control and onstage at LA's Greek Theater, or else.
