All the "Austin Powers" movies (July 1)
Mike Myers' love letter to the spy genre and the 1960s London swing era resulted in this hilarious trilogy: "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery," "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," and "Austin Powers in Goldmember." All three have hit Netflix as of July 1.
Sit back and enjoy Myers' memorable characters like Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard, and Goldmember — plus the birth of memorable one-liners like "Yeah, baby!" and "One MILLION dollars!"
"Boogie Nights" (July 1)

The first 3 "Karate Kid" movies (July 1)
If you are patiently waiting for the next season of "Cobra Kai," go back and watch the movies that inspired it all.

"Love, Actually" (July 1)
Need Christmas in July? Netflix has you covered with this classic rom-com set over the holiday starring Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Bill Nighy, Laura Linney, and Colin Firth.
"Midnight Run" (July 1)
It's always a good time to watch this dark comedy, but especially now with the recent passing of Charles Grodin.
Here, Grodin plays an accountant for the mob who is on the run and Robert De Niro plays the bounty hunter who is on his tail. The way these two actors work together through the movie to mix comedy and tension is what makes this movie so special.
"Spanglish" (July 1)

The movie is filled with fantastic supporting roles from John C. Reilly, Sacha Baron Cohen, Leslie Bibb, Michael Clarke Duncan, Amy Adams, and Gary Cole.
"Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (July 1)
One of the greatest sequels ever made, James Cameron expands the "Terminator" franchise to a level that has basically made it impossible to top — no matter the number of sequels the franchise has thrown at us since.
The Oscar-winning director also recently admitted in an interview with The Ringer that he was high on ecstasy while writing the script for "Terminator 2: Judgement Day," so it'll be fun to rewatch it with that new information in mind.
"Snowpiercer" (July 2)

If you like bloody, shoot-'em up action, then this movie is for you.
