Top Movies Leaving Netflix in June: ‘28 Days’, ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’, ‘Annie’, ‘Fear’, ‘Firestarter’
In a blast from the past, Netflix is bringing back some classic films for viewers to enjoy this June. One such film is “28 Days,” starring Sandra Bullock in a role that showcases her incredible range as an actress. Directed by Betty Thomas and written by Susannah Grant, this serio-comic drama follows a New York writer struggling with functional alcoholism who is forced to check into a rehabilitation facility to avoid jail time for a D.U.I. Bullock’s performance is described as scrappy and alive, with Steve Buscemi providing able support as the counselor.
Another classic film hitting Netflix this month is “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” a horror movie from 1984 that explores terror, dreams, and the American suburbs. Directed by Wes Craven, the film introduces audiences to the iconic boogeyman Fred Krueger, played by Robert Englund. Heather Langenkamp and Johnny Depp also star in this chilling tale of teenagers being haunted in their dreams.
For those looking for a more family-friendly option, “Annie” will also be available to stream on Netflix. Despite receiving mixed reviews upon its release in 1982, this adaptation of the Broadway musical has remained a favorite among younger audiences. Aileen Quinn shines as the plucky orphan Annie, with Albert Finney, Ann Reinking, Carol Burnett, Tim Curry, and Bernadette Peters rounding out the cast.
Lastly, “Fear,” a 1996 erotic thriller starring Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon, will be added to Netflix’s lineup. Wahlberg plays the boyfriend from hell who becomes obsessed with Witherspoon’s character, much to the dismay of her father. Directed by James Foley, this film is described as deliciously entertaining trash that is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
With a mix of drama, horror, family-friendly, and thriller films, Netflix’s lineup for June is sure to have something for everyone to enjoy. So grab some popcorn, settle in, and get ready to stream these classic movies from the comfort of your own home.
