August will see numerous of classic titles like "Scarface," "The Da Vinci Code" and "The Fifth Element" and franchises like "A Cinderella Story,""Final Destination," and "The Butterfly Effect" leaving Netflix. Here are ten other titles that caught my eye.

"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"

Director Terry Gilliam("Brazil," "12 Monkeys") has a way of dividing critics and audience alike. His take onHunter S. Thompson's novel "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"is one of the most divisive.Johnny Depp and Benicio del Torostar asRaoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo, a pair of journalists who embark on a drug-fueled journey through Las Vegas.

"Hairspray"(1988)

You might be familiar with the Broadway play or the 2007 version, but once upon a time "Hairspray" was a strange turn in the career of writer/director John Waters (in this case meaning it was far more accessible than anything he had done before). The musical tells the story of a teen (Ricki Lake) who looks to fight segregation through dancing on a local television show in Baltimore 1962. (Leaving 8/1/19)
