Netflix's September movie lineup is a sampler of everything the streaming service has become known for: riveting, real-life documentaries, family-friendly romances and great films from all over the world.
One of the month's biggest titles is sure to be aka Charlie Sheen, the two-part documentary about the actor's life. Sheen has been on a path to sobriety and reflects on his often chaotic life, which was fodder for tabloids for decades. That film arrives on Sept. 10.
In The Wrong Paris, out Sept. 12, Miranda Cosgrove and Pierson Fode star as two reality dating contestants, Dawn and Trey, who find love despite the fact that Dawn thought the show would be filming in Paris, France, not Paris, Texas.
Romance seems to be the name of the game this month, because you'll also find love lurking in the new Thai release Same Day With Someone, the Tyler Perry-produced Ruth & Boaz, and French Lover, a new film out of France starring Omar Sy.
These originals, along with loads of library titles such as Inglourious Basterds, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret and Adam Sandler's other huge 1990s hit, Billy Madison, are among the best new titles coming to Netflix in September.

Universal Pictures/The Weinstein Company Inglourious Basterds (Sept. 1) One of Quentin Tarantino's best, Inglourious Basterds is an alternate World War II history that reimagines what would have happened if a group of American soldiers carried out a plot to assassinate a group of Nazis in Paris during the war. The film co-stars Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Melanie Laurent and Diane Kruger, and it won Christoph Waltz an Oscar for his darkly comedic portrayal of Austrian SS officer Hans Landa.
Universal Pictures Billy Madison (Sept. 1) With everyone obsessing over Happy Gilmore 2 (and the original Happy Gilmore) this summer, let's not forget that Adam Sandler had a string of massive hits in the 1990s. That list includes another iconic film, 1995's Billy Madison, which is arriving on Netflix this month. In the film, Sandler stars in the title role as the immature son of a hotel owner who refuses to hand over the family business to Billy when he retires unless Billy goes back to school to redo his entire education -- grades 1-12 -- and prove his worth. The film is juvenile and silly, but that's the appeal. Plus, it gave us the line, "If peeing in your pants is cool, then consider me Miles Davis," so what's not to like? Bradley Whitford and Norm MacDonald co-star, Chris Farley makes an unforgettable appearance as a bus driver and Bridgette Wilson plays Miss Veronica Vaughn.
Netflix aka Charlie Sheen (Sept. 10) aka Charlie Sheen, a new two-part documentary premiering on Sept. 10, chronicles the highs and lows of one of the most controversial actors in Hollywood. From his TV and film career to the antics and addictions that made him tabloid fodder, the film explores every aspect of Charlie Sheen's life, with input from the actor himself -- now seven years sober -- along with his ex-wives Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller, friends Jon Cryer, Sean Penn, Heidi Fleiss and more.
Gracie Films Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret (Sept. 11) The heyday of Judy Blume's young adult fiction might have been the 1970s and '80s, but its themes are timeless and still hold up. (Look no further than the great adaptation of Forever, out now on Netflix, for evidence.) The 2023 film Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret, is another excellent screen adaptation of one of Blume's most beloved books. Abby Ryder Fortson stars as the titular Margaret, a girl who moves from New York City to the New Jersey suburbs just as she's hitting peak adolescence and has to navigate puberty, new friendships and her own family's delicate ecosystem all at once. Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates and Benny Safdie co-star.
