Stop! And Watch These 3 Great Movies Leaving Netflix Before September 1st

The end of the month is fast approaching, which means a bunch of movies are leaving Netflix. Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy is one of the best titles headed out the door. Considering that two of the three installments in the trilogy are classics, this is a huge loss for Netflix. Other titles leaving Netflix include: The Mad Professor, American BustleAnd Pineapple Express.

The carnage doesn’t stop there. More than 45 movies are leaving Netflix on September 1. Some may end up on another streamer, while others will only be available via on-demand rental services. You’d better watch as many of them as you can before they leave Netflix. Our three picks include a Jim Carrey classic, a murderer’s thriller, and a hilarious ‘90s comedy.

Liar Liar (1997)

Jim Carrey was at the height of his powers in 1997. Here are the six films Carrey starred in before he… Liar Liar: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, Batman Forever, Ace Ventura: When nature calls, And The Cable Man. Despite some flaws, Carrey gives memorable performances in all cases. The comedian’s momentum kept rolling until 1997 with Liar Liar.

As a successful defense attorney, Fletcher Reede (Carrey) is a gifted liar. Unfortunately, his lying leads to a divorce from his wife, Audrey (The Iron Claw‘s Maura Tierney), and a troubled relationship with his son, Max (Justin Cooper). On his birthday, Max makes a wish that his father would tell the truth. The wish comes true, meaning Fletcher can’t lie for the next 24 hours. Bad timing for Fletcher, as he’s trying to win the biggest case of his career. Liar Liar is one of Carrey’s biggest hits, with the physical humor and laughter that underpins it.

The Equalizer (2014)

Denzel Washington is rarely compared to action film stars like Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. But make no mistake: Washington is a great action film star. Some of his late work in the genre happens to be some of his best. The equalizer is an example. Robert McCall (Washington) is a former Marine and CIA assassin who retired to Boston to live a quiet life.

Unable to sleep at night, Robert spends most of his time reading in a diner, where he befriends a teenage prostitute named Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz). One night, Robert learns that Teri’s Russian pimp has injured her, leaving her in intensive care. Big mistake. Huge. Robert ends his retirement, grabs a gun, and hunts down Teri’s abusers, taking down the entire mob in the process.

Beverly Hills Ninja (1997)

Comedy misses Chris Farley. Since his tragic death in December 1997, no comedian has matched Farley’s presence and aura. His work is worth revisiting. Beverly Hills Ninja is not Tommy Boy or SNLbut it’s still Farley doing his best physical comedy routine. In Beverly Hills Ninjaa group of ninjas find an abandoned chest that washes up near their village.

In the chest is a white baby boy. The ninjas train the boy in martial arts and name him Haru (Farley). Although he is overweight and clumsy, Haru has a good heart, which the ninjas appreciate. His first assignment as an adult is to protect Sally Jones (Nicollette Sheridan), a beautiful American woman, from her dangerous boyfriend. With Haru on the case, hilarity quickly ensues.
