Welcome to TechRadar's new Netflix movies article. Below, you'll find a list of the most notable new movies that have debuted on the streaming service since late June, including numerous Netflix Originals and a few licensed flicks that I consider to be unmissable.
If, for some reason, none of the listed films tickle your fancy, I'd recommend you read TechRadar's best Netflix movies piece for an even bigger selection of top-tier flicks. You should also check our TechRadar's new on Netflix in July 2024 guide if you're after further recommendations, especially of the TV show and/or documentary variety, on the world's best streaming service. Bookmark those pages for later, though, and read on to see if any of July's new Netflix movies pique your interest first.
Initial reviews have not been kind to this one, with critics labeling it "predictable" and a film that "invokes no feelings in the viewers". You might have more fun checking out season 6 of middling reality TV series Too Hot to Handle than Find Me Falling, then...
Another acclaimed Netflix animated flick, The Imaginary, which is based on A.F. Harrold's 2014 novel of the same name, is the first feature from beloved animation company Studio Ponoc since 2017. It tells the tale of Rudiger (Rudge-Buchanan), an invisible boy created by Amanda (Kiszel), a young girl who's struggling to cope after a tragedy befalls her, and the adventures the pair share.
Narratively or creatively, it's not a patch on most Studio Ghibli films, but The Imaginary is an endearing story that does more to examine the concept of imaginary friends (and what happens to them when we grow up) than Paramount Pictures' IF did earlier this year. One of July's new Netflix movies is gorgeous to look at, too, which always helps to sell animated movies to, well, anyone.
30 years after the action-comedy franchise's last entry, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F reunites audiences with Eddie Murphy's titular, fast-talking detective for more 80s-inspired police chases, firefights, humor, and California vibes. This time, Axel Foley teams up with new and old faces to unravel a conspiracy after his daughter's life is threatened.
A decades-later sequel that, unlike some of its contemporaries, actually brings the heat, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F had our reviewers feeling nostalgic for an action-packed era they never experienced. A fresh and familiar take on the buddy cop formula that might convince Netflix to greenlight more adventures for the renegade law enforcer with a mercurial talent for never shutting up.
With scintillating performances from Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Willem Dafoe, and Alfred Molina (in Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 in particular), the webslinger's first live-action films laid the foundations for many of its contemporaries, and proved there was a space for comic book films to thrive on the big screen.
One of the best and most consistently great sci-fi trilogies ever made, the Back to the Future films are tailormade flicks for fans of all ages. In fact, I'd consider them to be not only genuinely terrific comfort viewing, but also worth watching on an annual basis. For the uninitiated: Fox plays Marty McFly, a teen who gets sent back to various points in the past by Doc Brown's (Lloyd) insanely cool-looking, car-based DeLorean time machine. Each movie sees McFly venture to a different time period to save Brown, get caught up in all sorts of hijinks, and try not to alter anything that'll impact the pair's future.
Less than a decade before the donned Batman's famous cape and cowl, Bale made a name for himself by having the time of his life in this dark comedy-thriller. In it, he plays Patrick Bateman, a young professional who lives a second life as a horrifying serial killer by night.
A ferocious and wry black comedy masquerading as a gruesome horror, American Psycho's thematic exploration, iconic and meme-worthy scenes, and electrifying performance from Bale were worth the admission fee alone. Stick this on your new Netflix movies watchlist, and thank me later once you've been left enthralled and scarred by it.
Fans of the movie's leading trio will likely enjoy what's on offer, as will anyone entertained by rom-com tropes and easy-to-watch flicks with unsubstantial narratives. Everyone else, though, will want to give it a wide berth.

If you're looking for the best military and war movies and shows on Netflix, we're here to help you stop the scrolling, move past the algorithm and find what you're looking for. Netflix has a massive catalog of movies and shows, and sometimes it's hard to find exactly what you want to watch. This list can help you cut through the war movie noise and get to the good stuff.
This 2022 movie is the first German-language movie version of the 1929 Erich Maria Remarque novel about the horrors of World War I. The 1930 version of the movie won an Oscar for Best Picture, and this new one was nominated for nine awards, winning four of them.
Director and screenwriter Edward Berger widened the focus of the story to include more background about WWI while maintaining the heart of the story about the brutal experiences of German soldiers in the trenches.
As Egypt was forming a coalition of Arab countries to launch a surprise war to retake the Sinai Peninsula from Israel, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser's son-in-law, Ashraf Marwan, was a close aide to Nasser's successor, Anwar Sadat. What neither Nasser nor Sadat knew was that Marwan was an asset to Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad.
Obviously, this was a disaster for the Arab coalition, as was the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Netflix's "The Angel" is based on the nonfiction book "The Angel: The Egyptian Spy Who Saved Israel" and stars Marwan Kenzari ("Ben-Hur") as Marwan.
Idris Elba ("Thor," "The Suicide Squad") stars as a West African warlord known as The Commandant, leading a rebel battalion against government forces. As the rebels fight the falling government, The Commandant recruits Agu (Abraham Attah, "Spider-Man: Homecoming") as a child soldier.
Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga ("No Time to Die"), "Beasts of No Nation" portrays the brutal realities of battle, combat in sub-Saharan Africa, the recruitment of child soldiers and the true human cost of war.
