Watch these five movies leaving Netflix at the end of August 2024. Our picks include a 1990s comedy and a spectacular superhero adaptation.
The summer might be ending, but Netflix is still using this time to release blockbusters. One of the streamer’s latest offerings is The Union, an action comedy starring Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry. If espionage is not your thing, you can pivot to other action spectacles, including Logan Lucky, Damsel, and Mortal Kombat.
While the previously mentioned movies will remain on the streamer for the foreseeable future, a select group of movies are departing the service at the end of the month. This is the last chance to watch these films on Netflix this month. Make it a point to watch these five movies before August ends. Our picks include a 1990s comedy, a spectacular superhero adaptation, and a sweet coming-of-age story.The Nutty Professor (1996)
In the mid-1990s, Eddie Murphy was still as A-list as an actor can be. While Murphy played multiple characters on Saturday Night Live and Coming to America, nothing compares to his work on The Nutty Professor. In the 1996 comedy, Murphy played Professor Sherman Klump, Buddy Love, Lance Perkins, Cletus “Papa” Klump, Anna Pearl ‘Mama’ Jensen Klump, Ida Mae “Granny” Jensen, and Ernie Klump, Sr.
At the center of The Nutty Professor is Sherman Klump, an overweight teacher with a heart of gold. Sherman is working on a miracle formula that will shed pounds instantly. After a humiliating date with the beautiful Carla Purty (Jada Pinkett), Sherman tests the formula on his body. To his surprise, the experiment works, as Sherman loses 250 pounds. The formula also creates a more obnoxious personality named Buddy Love. To win his body back, Sherman must first do the hardest thing in his life: accept himself for who he is.
