Here in America, we don't have a national tradition of taking the entire month of August off from work. We do, however, have a tradition of spending hours in front of screens on weekends to binge watch the latest shows on Netflix and Amazon. Unfortunately, August doesn't see a lot of high profile new premieres, but there are some amazing movie classics tucked in to the new streaming list for this month. Clue, anyone?
