Sex and the City: The Movie

Even though Netflix started adding HBO shows like Insecure, Six Feet Under, and True Blood to its ranks this year, Sex and the City unfortunately isn’t among among the lot. However, every once in a blue moon, the Sex and the City movie arrives on Netflix for a very necessary rewatch, and while And Just Like That is on hiatus, it’s the perfect time to dip over to Netflix and watch the 2008 film continuation of the iconic series that’s just as iconic in its own right.

No Hard Feelings

Probably the funniest, and maybe even sexiest, movies of the year has to be Jennifer Lawrence’s debut starring comedy film No Hard Feelings. The Academy Award winner stars in the R-rated comedy as a woman who’s in need of a car and happens to answer a paper ad from parents asking an older woman to sleep with their college-bound 19-year-old in exchange for a car. It’s an odd and slightly cringey set-up, but the movie tells a shockingly sweet story about growing up. Start watching Lawrence’s hilarious new movie when it hits Netflix on Oct. 22.

• Release Year: 2023
• Director: Gene Stupnitsky 
• Cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Laura Benanti, Natalie Morales, Matthew Broderick
