Just Added to Netflix: Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Edge of Tomorrow, Inside Man and Shark Tale — 4 Movies to Watch This Week
Netflix’s library added a few notable films for the week of Sept. 7, giving viewers a mix of horror, animation, a bank-heist thriller, and sci‑fi action. Below you’ll find the basic facts about each title so you can pick what fits your mood.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, this 1992 film adapts Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel for the screen. Dracula stars Gary Oldman as the title character, with Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, and Anthony Hopkins in principal roles.
Furthermore, the film is widely noted for its period costume and production design, and it makes several changes to the novel while keeping the main characters and core plot points intact. In short, it’s a major studio adaptation from the early 1990s that remains a common pick when vampires are on your watchlist.
Shark Tale (2004)
Produced by DreamWorks Animation, Shark Tale is a 2004 animated feature that centers on Oscar, a small fish who gains fame after claiming responsibility for the death of a shark. The voice cast includes Robert De Niro, Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, and Martin Scorsese.
Inside Man (2006)
Directed by Spike Lee, Inside Man was released in 2006 and stars Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, and Jodie Foster. The film’s plot follows a tense bank heist and the negotiations that unfold between a hostage negotiator and the heist mastermind.
Moreover, the movie is frequently described as a cat‑and‑mouse thriller because it focuses on strategy, deception, and investigation rather than large set‑piece action. As a result, it’s often recommended when you want a tightly plotted heist film.
Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Directed by Doug Liman, this 2014 sci‑fi action film stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. The screenplay is adapted from the Japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.
In the film, Cruise’s character is caught in a time loop during an alien invasion, which forces him to repeat the same battle sequences while learning from each reset. The movie uses the repeated‑reset structure to combine action choreography with incremental character progress.
Also, the film is commonly associated with the tagline “Live. Die. Repeat.”, which reflects its central time‑loop premise.
