With the arrival of August, we’ve been treated to a Jurassic Park Trilogy (1993-2001)
As one of the most iconic franchises of all time, we’d be shocked to learn if there are any Netflix subscribers who haven’t watched Jurassic Park at least five times in their life already. It’s been two years since the epic Dinosaur trilogy was last seen on Netflix, so we expect many-a-binge from subscribers this weekend.Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
Director: Michel Gondry Genre: Drama, Romance, Sci-Fi | Runtime: 108 Minutes Cast: Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo Throughout his extensive career, Jim Carrey has only received a handful of movies to show off his acting chops. What is easily one of the best performances of his career, Carrey was finally able to show the world he was more than just a comedian. Joel and Clementine were once helplessly in love with each other, but when their relationship comes to an untimely end they both go under a procedure to erase their memories of each other.The NeverEnding Story (1984)
Director: Wolfgang Peterson Genre: Adventure, Drama, Fantasy | Runtime: 102 Minutes Cast: Noah Hathaway, Barret Oliver, Tami Stronach, Geral McRaney, Thomas Hill The 80s is full to the brim of classic fantasy adventures, and none so bring the same level of emotion as The NeverEnding Story.

Upon finding a fantasy book, Bastain begins reading the story and finds himself captivated by the mythical world of Fantasia.Mad Max (1979)

The Wilsons soon regret their decision when Dennis gets up to chaotic but innocent antics. All Dennis wants to be is helpful, even to the thief that’s just rolled up in town.Most Popular Movies on Netflix This Week: August 8th, 2020
