“Blazing Saddles”
Warner
Bros.

New titles come and go on Netflix every week, but choosing what
to stream can be a daunting task.

That’s why, every week, Business Insider rounds up which of the
newly arrived films and TV shows on Netflix are actually worth
watching.

This week’s titles include the classic-horror film “The Shining”
and the return of Netflix’s animated comedy, “Big Mouth.”

New films and TV shows coming this week:

• “Blade” and “Blade II” (Films — coming Monday, October
  1): Marvel has practically given up on the
  half-human, half-vampire daywalker known as Blade — both on
  screen and in the comics. Fortunately, you can re-live the
  first two “Blade” films, starring Wesley Snipes in the title
  role, on Netflix starting Monday.
• “Blazing Saddles” (Movie — coming Monday, October
  1): Mel Brooks’ classic western-comedy, starring
  the late, great Gene Wilder, is now available to stream.
• “Mystic River” (Movie — coming Monday, October
  1): Director Clint Eastwood’s 2003 drama,
  starring Sean Penn and Tim Robbins, won both of those actors
  Oscars and was also nominated for best picture, best director,
  and more.
• “The Shining” (Movie — coming Monday, October
  1): Stanley Kubrick’s classic-Stephen King
  adaptation arrives just in time for Halloween.
• “V For Vendetta” (Movie — coming Monday, October
  1): Director James McTeigue hasn’t made a good
  movie since his directorial debut with “V For Vendetta,” but
  it’s a compelling-enough adaptation of Alan Moore’s graphic
  novel of the same name, with great performances from Natalie
  Portman and Hugo Weaving and slick action sequences.
• “Big Mouth” Season 2 (TV show — coming Friday, October
  5): Nick Kroll’s crude but hilarious animated comedy
  about teenagers experiencing puberty with the help of “hormone
  monsters” returns on Friday after a brilliant first
  season.
