With summer at its peak, it’s time to say goodbye to June and hello to the month of July. Netflix is bringing a lot of new films and television series this month. You might have missed “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” “The Longest Yard,” “Titanic,” and “Uncertain Glory” when they arrived in theaters. However, you can catch these all-time greats on Netflix in July 2017.
‘E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial’
Released in 1982, “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” is a science fiction film written and directed by Steven Spielberg. The film was unique because it featured special effects by Dennis Muren and Carlo Rambaldi.
Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore, Robert MacNaughton, Peter Coyote, and Dee Wallace played the leading characters. “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” told the story of a lonely boy, Elliott, who befriended an extraterrestrial. The film was loosely based on a novel of the same name by Atom Egoyan.
‘The Longest Yard’ (2005)
“The Longest Yard” is reportedly coming to Netflix and Hulu this month. This comedy film was produced by Happy Madison Productions and MTV Films and distributed by Columbia Pictures. The cast included James Cromwell, William Fichtner, Terry Crews, Bob Sapp, and Kevin Nash. The film did well at the box office, and it brought in over $47 million in its opening weekend.
‘Titanic'
Released in 1997, “Titanic” was an epic film directed and written by James Cameron.
A fictional story of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, it starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Jame’s inspiration for “Titanic” came from his fascination with shipwrecks: he said a love story interspersed with the human loss would convey the emotional impact of the disaster. Upon its release in December 1997, the film received excellent comments from Hollywood critics.
Billy Zane, Frances Fisher, Gloria Stuart, Bill Paxton, Suzy Amis, and Danny Nucci were in the supporting characters.
‘Uncertain Glory’
“Uncertain Glory” was a 1944 film written and directed by Raoul Walsh, featuring Errol Flynn and Paul Lukas as the leads. Dennis Hoey, Sheldon Leonard, Odette Myrtil, Francis Pierlot, and Jean Sullivan portrayed Le Clerc, Henri, Bonet, La Borde, and Marianne, respectively.
The Verge says that “Uncertain Glory” would be available on Netflix in coming days.
Best of the rest
Some other projects that are coming to the streaming giant are “The Astronaut Farmer,” “Best in Show,” “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas,” “Code Name: The Cleaner,” “Free Willy,” “The Invisible Guest,” “The Land Before Time,” “Matchstick Men,” and “Out of Thin Air.”
