From a musical starring Bradley Cooper to Charlize Theron back as an immortal warrior to a quiant Japanese drama about dealing with dementia, these are the movies worth watching in July.

Despite the 48 new movies coming to Netflix in July 2025, there are three exciting film series I can't wait to stream, and they're all iconic movies in their respective genres starting with a martial arts drama from the '80s and ending with a landmark Hollywood thriller from the '70s.

Mission: Impossible isn't the only franchise dropping on Netflix in July. You can also catch the original 1984 version of The Karate Kid and the film's two sequels when they drop on July 1. If you finished Cobra Kai and want to revisit the originals, with Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso and Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi, now is the time.
