The Movies You Have To Watch Before They Leave Netflix In August 2019

It would be difficult to check out everything leaving Netflix in August, so we have a list of the best of the best films you have to watch before they disappear. Between now and the end of August, sign into your Netflix account and load up these movies you won’t want to miss.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Terry Gilliam's psychedelic satirical black comedy based on Hunter S. Thompson's book of the same name, is a flick you either love with every fiber of your being, don't really understand, or haven't seen at all. Or maybe you just don't like it, because that's fair too. The film divided critics upon its release in May 1998, largely for its pendulous nature and bizarreness that can make your head spin. But in the two decades since, Fear and Loathing has picked up a swarm of fans who will go to bat for it.

Set in 1971, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas centers on journalist Raoul Duke and his lawyer, Dr. Gonzo, as they take a road trip from the sunny skies of Los Angeles to the sin-filled deserts of Las Vegas. What begins as an effort to document a race devolves into an exploration of an otherworldly dystopia that gets more and more haunting the further Duke and Gonzo venture in.

Some think Fear and Loathing is Gilliam's worst film by a mile, while others have called it, quote, "a stylish and faithful adaptation of a lasting classic of American literature." Hurry and find out which side of the argument you fall on, or revisit an old favorite, before Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas departs from Netflix on August 1st.

Want to indulge in some silly scares as summer winds down? Before August 1st, load up Netflix and watch the first four installments in the over-the-top horror franchise Final Destination.

Each entry in the saga centers on a group of young adults who fight for their lives after a friend of theirs is suddenly struck with a vision and warns they will all die in a freak accident. All seems okay when the group isn't involved in the accident their friend foretold, but the hand of fate soon swoops down and plucks them off one by one, killing them via elaborate Rube Goldberg-style coincidences. There's no avoiding Death or their final destination: the grave.

Though none of the Final Destination movies have been critical hits, they've performed fairly well at the box office and have amassed something of a cult following. They're campy and inane, and the perfect movies to mindlessly watch after a long summer day spent lounging in the sun. Keep watching the video to see the movies you have to watch before they leave Netflix in August 2019!
