The Best of Netflix's July 2016 New Releases

Oh, and now you can watch all three 'Back to the Future' movies.

Netflix definitely knows how to keep us on the couch and in the air conditioning – and its new lineup of movies and TV for July is even more evidence of that.

Perhaps the most exciting new Netflix original, Stranger Things, is available for streaming on July 15. Winona Ryder stars as the mother of a young boy who vanishes under suspicious circumstances in Hawkins, Indiana, in this paranormal thriller that’s heavy on ‘80s nostalgia.

New seasons of Netflix originals like Bojack Horseman and Marco Polo have also been added to the line-up.

Netflix continues to venture into every visual medium imaginable – with the addition of two original anime series, Magi: The Adventures of Sinbad and Kuromukuro. On July 29, the streaming service will also debut its six-part original documentary, Last Chance U, following a group of college football players training to become the future stars of the NFL.

Other highlights include a mix of older favorites available starting July 1 including Mean Girls, The Italian Job, and all three Back to the Future films. Director Adam McKay’s Academy Award-winning film on the 2007-2008 financial crisis, The Big Short, will be available on July 6.

And if none of those options sound appealing, you can always spend the day binge-watching all four Lethal Weapon movies.

Here’s the full list — which also includes two 2016 releases, Holidays, a collection of short horror films, and Netflix original film, Tallulah:
