Netflix in August: ‘Titanic, ‘Family Ties' Replaced With New ‘Doctor Who,' Vintage ‘Reading Rainbow' and a Whole Lot of Nicolas Cage

Netflix taketh, and Netflix giveth back. Kind of.

Every month the streaming site sends out an update of what content will be disappearing from streaming, and what movies and TV shows will be added. It's an announcement we've come to expect, but this time around the swap out is kind of...weird. Or awesome, depending on your feelings about Nicolas Cage.

First let us explain. There are some seriously good picks leaving Netflix in just a matter of days-- titles like "Driving Miss Daisy," "Family Ties," "Kiss The Girls" and "Jiro Dreams of Sushi." And who could forget "Titanic"? Everyone's favorite version of Leonardo DiCaprio (get out of here, "Great Gatsby" fans!) is no longer going to be available to us at the click of a button whenever we need him. There'll be no more Jack Dawson gambling, no more Jack Dawson dancing in steerage and certainly no more Jack Dawson teaching Rose (Kate Winslet) to fly.

Never one to leave us completely hanging, Netflix also made sure to let viewers know that is going to be available on the site–and that's a whole lot of Nicolas Cage. He's even got his own category, WWNCD? (That's What Would Nic Cage Do, naturally). In addition to "National Treasure," perhaps the greatest Cage film of them all, this August will also see "Lord of War" and "Outcast" added to the lineup. So there's really a silver lining to everything.

Also streaming in August is "Reading Rainbow" volume 1, "Girl Meets World" season 1, "The Hurt Locker and the latest season (8) of "Doctor Who."
