Netflix just added 39 new movies and shows to kick off August 2026. The first day of the month is typically a big one for the streaming service. It's when Netflix adds most of the classic library titles (aka non-originals) to its catalogue. This month was no exception.
However, 39 new movies is a lot to sort through in a single day. So I wouldn't blame you if you didn't know where to start. Lucky for you, I've already looked through everything new on Netflix in August, and I have five movies worth adding to your watchlist today.
