3 new to Netflix thriller movies to watch this week — including Steven Spielberg’s game-changing blockbuster masterpiece (Sept. 3-9)
Netflix's September 2026 slate is adding dozens of movies to the platform's library, and I just found 3 thriller picks you need to watch.
This week, Netflix has added a plethora of new movies to its library, providing thrill-seekers with plenty of options to binge-watch. Among these newly available thrillers, three stand out as must-watch films: the classic "Jaws," the cult favorite "Cruel Intentions," and the iconic crime drama "Scarface."
"Jaws," directed by Steven Spielberg, revolutionized the cinematic landscape in 1975. Set in the picturesque New England town of Amity Island, the movie follows a trio of heroic characters as they attempt to combat a man-eating great white shark. Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, "Jaws" continues to maintain its popularity and influence, captivating audiences for several decades.
"Cruel Intentions," a teen romantic-thriller released in 1999, has become a beloved cult classic. Featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Selma Blair, and Reese Witherspoon in their prime, the film centers on a dangerous bet between step-siblings Kathryn (Gellar) and Sebastian (Phillippe). As Kathryn challenges Sebastian to seduce the virtuous Annette (Witherspoon), the story unfolds with dark comedy and melodrama, creating a wickedly entertaining viewing experience.
Finally, "Scarface," directed by Brian De Palma, is a legendary crime-thriller that chronicles the rise and fall of Cuban immigrant Tony Montana in the vibrant city of Miami. Al Pacino's iconic performance as Tony Montana brought the story of ambition, greed, and power to life. With its gritty portrayal of the drug trade and Pacino's unforgettable portrayal, "Scarface" remains a true masterpiece in the world of cinema.
