3 Must-Watch Movies Coming to Netflix in August 2025: ‘The Thursday Murder Club' and More
Netflix is scheduled to stream some killer movies like the original Jurassic Park trilogy and the cult comedy classic Wet Hot American Summer.
In addition to those films, you should stream The Thursday Mystery Club, a new mystery movie starring Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan. If that's not violent enough for you, try The Departed, Martin Scorsese's Oscar-winning crime drama.
Netflix subscribers who crave something less violent should stick with Clueless, the 30-year-old comedy with Alicia Silverstone that's gone out of style.
'The Thursday Murder Club' (2025)
Murder is more popular than ever these days — at least on Netflix. The streamer has released one hit mystery show or movie after another, with Untamed, Secrets We Keep and Copycat topping the most popular charts this summer. Netflix saved its biggest release for last with The Thursday Murder Club, a highly anticipated feature film adaptation of Richard Osman's bestselling book.
For those who haven't read it, The Thursday Murder Club is about four retirees who meet every Thursday at their retirement community in Kent to solve cold cases in their spare time. The fun and games soon give way to an actual murder when a property developer turns up dead. The real police are on the case, but for Elizabeth (Helen Mirren), Ron (Pierce Brosnan), Ibrahim (Ben Kingsley) and Joyce (Celia Imrie), it's a mystery they think only they can solve. But are these amateur sleuths right? Or are they so in over their heads that they may wind up six feet under?
Fans of cozy mystery shows like Midsomer Murders and Grantchester will surely enjoy The Thursday Murder Club, which leans more on being a comedy rather than a suspenseful thriller. The cast of British pros can't be beat, and they're supported by an equally impressive roster of actors that includes David Tennant, Richard E. Grant and Naomi Ackie.
'The Departed' (2006)
The Departed's plot is ingenious: Irish mob boss Frank (Jack Nicholson) installs one of his men, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), in the Boston police department to spy on them. At the same time, the Boston police send one of their own, Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio), deep undercover in Frank's criminal organization. Both sides realize they've been infiltrated, but they don't know who it is — yet. It's only a matter of time before both Colin and Billy are found out — the only question left to be answered is whose real identity will be revealed first?
Loosely adapted from the equally excellent Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs, The Departed is a Scorsese movie from top to bottom. The veteran director won his only Oscar so far for his work, and it's deserved just for the suspenseful third act alone. DiCaprio and Damon have never been better as stooges caught in a violent game they tire of playing, and Nicholson has one of his best late-career roles as an oily criminal kingpin whose luck is running out fast.
'Clueless' (1995)
Has it really been 30 years since Clueless first debuted in theaters and stole everyone's hearts? We'll refrain from quoting the movie's signature line, 'As if!,' but you get the picture. It's been a while, but time hasn't softened Clueless' satirical bite — or Alicia Silverstone's pitch-perfect performance as the not-so-clueless Cher.
Cher is 16 years old and, along with her best friend Dionne (Stacey Dash), queen of her social circle. But when she decides to play matchmaker for new friend Tai (Brittany Murphy), her whole world turns upside down, and she begins to look at everyone, including her ex-stepbrother Josh (Paul Rudd), in a whole new way. Can this spoiled socialite experience the same kind of romantic love she finds for others? Or will she always be a 'virgin who can't drive'?
From the fashion to the tunes by Jill Sobule and Counting Crows, Clueless is dated — but in a good way. It's refreshingly '90s, when someone can make a joke about grunge music and still seem relevant. The cast is terrific, but this is Silverstone's show, and she delivers one of the great comedic performances of the decade. Clueless is an eternal rewatchable movie — day or night, summer or winter, it just works, and it should be in your Netflix queue even if you've already seen it a dozen times.

Girls' space festival held at Spaceport Cornwall
Space dreams took flight for hundreds of girls at a festival designed to inspire the next generation. The Reach for the Sky Festival, held at Spaceport Cornwall, was organised by TECgirls, part of TECwomen CIC, and focused on encouraging girls to explore careers in aviation, aerospace, and STEM fields. Despite wet weather, more than 1,000 people attended the sold-out event, which featured hands-on activities for over 500 girls. The event offered more than 20 interactive exhibits, including rocket launches, flight simulators, drone demonstrations, AI coding, LEGO robotics, and a travelling museum from Discovering 42. Attendees could sit in real aircraft cockpits, talk to female pilots and engineers, and meet role models from across the aviation and aerospace industries. (Image: Rebecca Lily) The festival was supported by organisations including Kids Invent Stuff, Leonardo Helicopters, Serco, DEFRA, Slingshot Aerospace, Isles of Scilly Travel, Discovering 42, Cognition Learning, Cornwall Council, Falmouth Games Academy, Cornwall College, Truro and Penwith College, Newquay Flying School, Spaceport Cornwall, and Cornwall Airport Newquay. More than 100 volunteers from groups such as RAF Cadets, Girl Guides, Cornwall Air Ambulance, Kernow Soroptimists, and Newquay Waterpolo also contributed to the event's success. The festival received strong feedback from attendees, with 98 per cent reporting satisfaction, 100 per cent saying they would recommend the event to others, and 94 per cent of children leaving more excited about aviation and aerospace. A visitor said: "It was a day of fun, it was a day of laughter. "It was a day of so many smiles. "It was a day of meeting so many wonderful people who all spoke so passionately about their role, the technology they were using, the planes they were flying and it was heartwarming." Another attendee said: "It's great for girls to feel that there is something aimed directly at them and that they are just as capable as anyone else of excelling in technical careers. "The content of the event was very inspiring, both for girls and parents. "We are looking forward to the next one."

Logies 2025 live: Jelena Dokic hailed over 'amazing' speech, Hamish Blake addresses 'elephant in the room'
The 65th Annual TV WEEK Logie Awards has arrived, and host Sam Pang has us underway in his typical crude fashion. Jelena Dokic has been hailed for her powerful acceptance speech after the documentary delving into her abuse won the best documentary award. All eyes are on the seven Gold Logie nominees, with a record six women in the running to make it the first time since 2011 female nominations have outweighed the male nominations. Favourite Lynne McGranger may be anticipating victory with her dress choice this evening, wearing a golden gown to the Logies. Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar, which tells the story of wellness influencer and conwoman Belle Gibson, has received a massive eight nominations, including Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Lead Actress in a Drama. Follow along below as we bring you regular updates throughout the day. Logies drag on again Well you think they would have learnt their lesson, wouldn't you? After 2024's show stretched out to midnight, it seems this year's Logies is going the same way, judging by how quickly the show is ticking over. And viewers are less than impressed, taking to X to let their thoughts known. Take a look for yourself below. Going to be a darn long night if every presenter does a comedy routine before presenting an award.#tvweeklogies#logies#logies2025 — Nez (@fraggle73) August 3, 2025 At this rate the Logies should finish by Boxing Day. #Logies2025 — martydownunder4 (@martydownunder4) August 3, 2025 #logies #logies2025 #tvweeklogies 7 of 23 awards done. At this pace we're going to blow well past midnight with Magda's bit and the in memoriam section. — tbyrn21 (@tbyrn21) August 3, 2025 New award handed out Five-time Gold Logie winner Ray Martin was up on stage to hand out the inaugural new award named after him. And Ally Langdon was the first recipient of the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter, calling Martin an "incredible man" and thanked him for guiding so many in the industry. "I think for a lot of us in this industry you are a big part why we got into it. Thank you so much for just showing and being that guiding light," she said. Hamish Blake accepts Logie, but he wants this one Hamish Blake does have his hands on a 2025 Logie, but it's one he did actually want to win. Lego Masters has won the Best Competition Reality Program award, and he accepted the award as host. 'This one is OK to win,' he said in reference to his 'anti-Gold Logie' campaign where he finds himself up against six women for the top award. Jelena Dokic hails 'massive' win for survivors Well it's fair to say Jelena Dokic has moved viewers at home. She gave an emotional acceptance speech after Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story won the Best Factual or Documentary Program. "I just want to thank you all. We have done a massive thing. This is not about winning. This is about a win for victims and survivors, especially of domestic violence and mental health," she said, prompting strong applause from the audience. The show, which delves into the physical and mental abuse she received at the hands of her father and coach Damir, prompted widespread praise on its release, with Dokic hailed for her courage. There was an outpouring of love for Dokic online, with sports media identity Ralph Horowitz calling her "the best of Australia". "A speech as good as her amazing story of resilience and success," he said on X. Guy Montgomery wins Most Popular New Talent award Guy Montgomery has won the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent thanks to Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee. Accepting his award, he was quick to point out where he's from. "This is really crazy, I am from New Zealand. I know, so I am so sorry to all of your country but suck it, we got one up on you time!" No surprises in the Children's Program category Well this isn't a surprise at all really, is it? Being one of the biggest success stories coming out of Australia in recent years, Bluey has, as expected by many, won Best Children's Program. Hamish Blake addresses 'elephant in the room' Hamish Blake has addressed the "elephant in the room", saying he actually "fears" winning the Gold Logie tonight. The two-time winner said it was pretty obvious the masses didn't want another "middle-aged white guy" winning the top award, saying he felt like the drunk uncle in the room. It's the first time ever six women are nominated for the award, with Blake the only man. First Logie goes to... And we have our first winner. Seven's The Voice has won the Best Entertainment Program. Sam Pang embraces controversy in opening speech Sam Pang has started once again in brutal fashion and it appears he's even managed to reference recently convicted killer Erin Patterson, prompting gasps from the audience. Offering a suggestion for MAFS' future, he said he thought producers should "cast the mushroom lady as the caterer". And looking for Gold Logie nominee Poh Ling Yeow, he took a swipe at diversity in the industry. "You should be easy to find in this room," he quipped. Logies kicks off with Jimmy Barnes Jimmy Barnes has just given his all belting out Working Class Man, marking the start of the Logies. And he was the inspiration for host Sam Pang's first joke, who said he can't think of song that better represents the guests in front of him. Strap in, we're about to kick off. Why Sunrise host Nat Barr never goes to the Logies after party Despite it being the night of nights for Australian television, some of the most well-known faces on our screens can't truly let their hair down. Sunrise host Nat Barr told Yahoo Lifestyle on the red carpet that she doesn't ever attend the after party because instead, she desperately tries to get some sleep for the next morning. If she's lucky, she gets one hour. "So we get out of here at roughly midnight, we get home at maybe 12:30, we get into bed at maybe 1, [and] we get up at 2:30," she explained. "So that hour and a half is the maximum possible time that we can sleep. It's about an hour sleep if we're lucky. "But it's only one night of the year, so who's complaining. We get to frock up and have a great night. Bacon and egg rolls, couple of coffees, and we're off and racing!" Yikes. Talk about dedication. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Natalie Barr (@natalie_barr7) Ricki-Lee addresses brutal snub She's nominated for the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter tonight, but Ricki-Lee was recently snubbed from Triple J's Hottest 100 of Australian Songs. She laughed off the slight while chatting with Yahoo Lifestyle on the red carpet and admitted she had 'a lot of gays reaching out [who were] very, very upset'. As for how she feels about being a Logie nominee, the Australian Idol host admitted it's 'an incredible honour'. 'I just think it's so nice to get recognition from the industry,' she said. 'We put so much work into this show, and I work really, really hard. I'm generally the first one to arrive on set and the last one to leave, so it's just nice to get that recognition and that nod from the industry to say, 'Hey, you've done a great job. We see you, good on you'.' How nominees find out they're up for a Logie What viewers at home might not realise is that, besides the Gold Logie nominees who are told in advance, stars don't find out they've been nominated for a Logie until the announcement is made to the public. Heartbreak High actress Chloé Hayden told Yahoo Lifestyle on the red carpet that she didn't know she was up for Best Supporting Actress until she opened Instagram. 'You find out the same time that everyone else finds out!' she shared. 'Which is kind of fun. I'm like, this is nice. It's very wholesome, like we're all in this together.' Logies guests interview each other It's something we tried last year and it was so good we've done it again. We've asked tonight's guests to pass a question on to the next star interviewed, and you can see it for yourself below. How 'little trophy' changed Grant Denyer's life Let's now bring you some of what the biggest stars are saying, with Yahoo's Lachlan Guertin down on the red carpet. He spoke with Grant Denyer earlier, and he revealed how life-changing winning a Gold Logie was for him. 'You know what it did for me? I spent my entire life feeling inferior, like I'm not worthy, like I'm unlovable, like I don't deserve this," he said. "And then weirdly, it was like this incredible experience where I was kind of like, hey man, you are enough. "And then I just calmed the hell down and settled and was the happiest I've ever been. Who would've thought a little trophy would do that? How magical! It psychologically changed me into a new person, weird.' Denyer won the 2018 Gold Logie for his work hosting Family Feud. He was previously nominated in 2016 and 2017. Remarkable story behind Alone star's dress Let's just take a moment to appreciate Corinne Ooms' dress. Ooms, who was the last woman standing on SBS's survival show Alone, has reused plenty of her mementos from the show to create her outfit. The dress is made from the tarp she slept under for 70 days, while her bag is made from wallaby hide from the exact wallaby she famously caught on the show. The dress took more than 20 hours to make. More of the best red carpet looks OK, we've had a fair few people pass along the red carpet, so let's bring you some more photos now. Let's take a closer look at Lynne McGranger, who has fittingly worn a gold dress as the favourite to take the night's biggest award. Fellow nominee for the Gold Logie Lisa Millar has dazzled in purple (our favourite colour), while Sonia Kruger looks stunning as ever in her tight-fitting number. And there was plenty of shimmer from sports presenter Jelena Dokic. Colourful Costa strikes again Gardening icon Costa Georgiadis is known for bringing a bit of colour to the red carpet and this year is no different. He's once again styled his outfit with an array of flowers, this time throughout his hair. Georgiadis has previously spoken about his choice to wear thrifted clothing on awards nights to promote sustainability. Home and Away stars one year on after launching relationship The 2024 Logies was their first red carpet outing as a couple as they launched their relationship. And 12 months on, Home and Away stars Ada Nicodemou and James Stewart look as in love as they did this time last year. The man who doesn't want your vote arrives Here he is. The only male Gold Logie nominee, Hamish Blake. And while he could make it a hat-trick of Gold Logie wins tonight, he's joked he doesn't want you to vote for him. " Hi Hamish Blake here, and as you know I'm the only guy in the running and therefore it would not be a great look if I won," he told fans in a message shared to Nine shortly after the nominations were revealed. "So just organise, figure out your favourite lady and get right behind her." It's the first time women have outweighed male nominees in the top award since 2011. Blake, who is also up for the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter, previously won the Gold Logie in 2012 and drag on again Well you think they would have learnt their lesson, wouldn't you?

How 'little trophy' changed Grant Denyer's life Let's now bring you some of what the biggest stars are saying, with Yahoo's Lachlan Guertin down on the red carpet. He spoke with Grant Denyer earlier, and he revealed how life-changing winning a Gold Logie was for him. 'You know what it did for me? I spent my entire life feeling inferior, like I'm not worthy, like I'm unlovable, like I don't deserve this," he said. "And then weirdly, it was like this incredible experience where I was kind of like, hey man, you are enough. "And then I just calmed the hell down and settled and was the happiest I've ever been. Who would've thought a little trophy would do that? How magical! It psychologically changed me into a new person, weird.' Denyer won the 2018 Gold Logie for his work hosting Family Feud. He was previously nominated in 2016 and 2017. Let's now bring you some of what the biggest stars are saying, with Yahoo's Lachlan Guertin down on the red carpet.

Ooms, who was the last woman standing on SBS's survival show Alone, has reused plenty of her mementos from the show to create her outfit. The dress is made from the tarp she slept under for 70 days, while her bag is made from wallaby hide from the exact wallaby she famously caught on the show. The dress took more than 20 hours to make.

The only male Gold Logie nominee, Hamish Blake. And while he could make it a hat-trick of Gold Logie wins tonight, he's joked he doesn't want you to vote for him. " Hi Hamish Blake here, and as you know I'm the only guy in the running and therefore it would not be a great look if I won," he told fans in a message shared to Nine shortly after the nominations were revealed. "So just organise, figure out your favourite lady and get right behind her." It's the first time women have outweighed male nominees in the top award since 2011. Blake, who is also up for the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter, previously won the Gold Logie in 2012 and 2022. Here he is. The only male Gold Logie nominee, Hamish Blake.
