Crime, Power
& Late Summer Cinema
August is late summer at its most intense — crime epics, thriller masterpieces and action films that do not ask for permission. Goodfellas mob world. Scarface Miami excess. The Terminator relentless machine. Gladiator II proving Rome still has stories. And on TV: Breaking Bad desert heat, The Sopranos moral complexity, Peaky Blinders razor blades, Succession power games reaching their climax. From £3, buy 3 get 1 free.
August is the month for the films that match the heat — bold, intense, uncompromising. The crime films and action epics that do not ask for your permission: Goodfellas Copa tracking shot, Scarface say hello to my little friend, The Terminator relentless pursuit through an 80s night. And Ridley Scott Gladiator II — the 2024 sequel that proved Rome still has stories. These are the August movie picks: the films that go hardest.
On television, August heat calls for the shows where power, crime and ambition collide. Breaking Bad Albuquerque desert heat perfectly matches the late-summer mood. The Sopranos New Jersey mob dinners. Peaky Blinders Birmingham razor blades. And Succession — August 2023 was the month the final season aired, the month the Roy family civil war reached its conclusion, the month the internet held its breath for the finale.
