August brings a selection of movies ideal for streaming, including classic and modern teen comedies. 'Dazed and Confused' remains a beloved coming-of-age film with a memorable cast and soundtrack. 'Adventureland,' featuring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart, has gained appreciation over time for its nostalgic music and impactful performances. Also premiering this month is 'Caught by the Tides,' an experimental drama that blends fiction and nonfiction to explore romance in a contemporary context.
Dazed and Confused is still arguably Richard Linklater's most fun movie about that particular coming-of-age journey, in addition to being one of the best-cast indie films of all time.
Adventureland has gotten better in retrospect - a movie that's anchored by killer needle drops from the '80s, sharp supporting turns by Stewart and Bill Hader, and a humanity that evokes Eisenberg's more recent directorial debut, A Real Pain.
Caught by the Tides premieres on streaming this month, blending fiction and nonfiction in a probing romance that speedruns the 21st century.
