The best Netflix movies leaving in September 2022
Blade Runner 2049
Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi classic Blade Runner cannot be improved upon — and Denis Villeneuve doesn't try in his sequel film. Instead, he expands the universe that Scott created. And Blade Runner 2049 a visual tour de force, with stunning cityscapes and set pieces (cinematographer Roger Deakins deservedly won an Oscar for his work).
Ryan Gosling takes the lead role as K, a replicant who serves as a blade runner for the LAPD. When stumbles onto a mystery that could trigger a war between humans and replicants, he goes looking for answers. K's journey leads him to Rick Deckard (Harrison), who's been missing for 30 years and who has information that could unleash chaos.

Mean Girls
Teenage Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) was educated in Africa by her scientist parents. When her family moves to the suburbs of Illinois, Cady finally gets to experience public school and gets a quick primer on the cruel, tacit laws of popularity that divide her fellow students into tightly knit cliques. She unwittingly finds herself in the good graces of an elite group of cool students dubbed "the Plastics," but Cady soon realizes how her shallow group of new friends earned this nickname.

Old School
After leaving Saturday Night Live in 2002, Will Ferrell followed it up by making two now-classic comedies: Old School and Elf. The former kickstarted his run of "frat pack" movies with collaborators including Luke Wilson and Vince Vaughn. The three of them play depressed middle-aged men who relive their youth by opening a fraternity.
Mitch (Wilson), fresh off a breakup, moves into a new house near a college campus. His pals Frank (Ferrell) and Beanie (Vaughn) turn it into a party spot. When a dean seeks to evict them, they skirt the rules by establishing a fraternity and inviting college kids to join.

Seven
What's in the box? If you still don't know, this is your last chance to watch Seven on Netflix. David Fincher's neo-noir thriller teams up Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman as detectives tracking down a serial killer whose modus operandi is the seven deadly sins.
It's the final case for William Somerset (Freeman) before he retires. He partners with David Mills (Pitt), a new transfer who has recently moved to the city with his wife (Gwyneth Paltrow). They investigate several elaborate, gruesome murders, such as an obese man who was forced to eat until his stomach burst and an attorney had to cut a pound of flesh from himself. Their target, John Doe (Kevin Spacey), engages the detectives in a dark cat-and-mouse game with no winners.
