New Netflix movies are going to be few and far between in the weeks ahead, so it’s a good thing that two new movies joined the best streaming service‘s movie library this week (August 11 – 18).

They’re wildly different offerings, too. Crime thriller fans can wrap their eyes around Night Always Comes, while viewers who love some R-rated adult animation can tune into Fixed instead.

Not fussed on either of those? The final section of this guide contains a list of every new Netflix film that’ll arrive between now and New Year’s Eve, so check that out to see if you need to add any of them to your ‘to watch’ list. No matter what you’re here for, then, you’ll find something worth reading about below.
