There are so many different streamers with fascinating and fun content that it can sometimes be hard to choose. Netflix is still arguably the best streaming service available to TV fans due to its combination of original shows and movies, accompanied by legendary favorites from the past. When you consider nostalgia and current tastes, Netflix probably has you covered. Of course, every streaming platform needs to refresh its content to keep us satisfied — this is what will be new on Netflix in the coming weeks.

The Tutor (2023)

The Tutor

Everyone loves a good summer thriller, right? The Tutor stars Garrett Hedlund as the academic advisor hired to help a rich kid with his schoolwork at his family’s mansion. The real scene-stealer is Stranger Things’ Noah Schnapp, who plays the mysterious and troubled youth receiving help from Hedlund’s character. This film is full of the usual twists and turns of the genre, perfect for a quick binge on July 8.

White House Down (2013)

Channing Tatum plays a Secret Service agent who has to protect the President of the United States (Jamie Foxx) when the White House comes under siege by a group of antagonistic outsiders. This was one of the better political thrillers of the early 2010s, and it also came at a time when Tatum was one of the Hollywood A-listers everyone wanted to see. It holds up well in 2023 and will be appearing on Netflix starting on July 1.

Quarterback (2023)

Quarterback
tv-ma 1 Season
Genre Documentary
Cast Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, Marcus Mariota

The one area where streaming services take a backseat to cable providers is live sports (though that is rapidly changing). Quarterback isn’t exactly live sports, but it is a docu-series focusing on a few QBs of the  2022 NFL season: Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota. The show will give access to on-the-field sights and sounds from the players, who all were generous with their time and willingness to give a peak into their careers in new ways. The show will premiere on July 12, right before NFL training camp picks up.

The Witcher (2019)

The Witcher
tv-ma 3 Seasons
Genre Drama, Action & Adventure, Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Cast Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan
Created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich

The Witcher is about to enter a state of change when Henry Cavill leaves and Liam Hemsworth takes over as the heroic Geralt. This final set of episodes with Cavill is sure to impress with the same set of monsters and grandeur the video game adaptation has become known for. The second volume of season three will premiere on July 27.

BASTARD‼ -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy- (2022)

BASTARD‼ -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy-
tv-ma 2 Seasons
Genre Animation, Action & Adventure, Sci-Fi & Fantasy

While Hulu is known for having a lot of anime on their service, Netflix also has its fair share of Japanese animation. BASTARD!! – Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy returns with more sinister fun, witchcraft, and fantastical elements for fans of the first season to enjoy. This new batch of episodes will come out on the last day of the month, July 31.

Ranked: The 11 best Bill Murray movies ever
He's starred in a lot of films, but if you're a fan, you must see these Murray movies
Bill Murray from Lost in Translation

A name that is and should be widely recognized in comedy, Bill Murray has been around to provide laughs for decades. Bringing his own unique qualities to the screen, Murray has carved for himself a niche based on his personality that simply cannot be copied. Between his masterful physical comedy to his perfectly timed and hysterical line deliveries, Bill is truly a one-of-a-kind talent. From his many roles over the years, the films he stars in are either because a certain director or repeat collaborator has a great bond with him, or simply because he is able to steal the spotlight no matter the assignment. Due to this, he has been given opportunities to play cameos in later films such as Dumb and Dumber To, Get Smart, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and a cameo as himself in Zombieland, which has got to be his best cameo.
All the way from wacky and zany to introspectively deep, Bill Murray portrays a lifetime of emotions in our list of films today. If you watch him closely enough, his performative nuances will make you laugh, cry, and think about what it truly means to be an actor. Murray is loved as a human being worldwide (for the most part), who has reportedly shown his face at random bars and parties just for a kick, becoming the owner of four minor league baseball teams, spontaneously studying philosophy and history in Paris, and starting his own golf apparel line. These and many other reasons are why we are here today to celebrate his accomplishments on screen, so sit back and scroll through the 10 best Bill Murray movies ever.
