Disney’s live-action “Lilo & Stitch,” Hollywood’s only $1 billion grosser of 2025, lands on Disney+ Sept. 3, meaning families will stream it non-stop. If you loved the cartoon, prepare for the same heart – just in live-action form. Pick a night for the kids; it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
2 – Highest 2 Lowest (Sept. 5 on Apple TV+): Spike Lee and Denzel go cinematic again

Netflix’s two-part “aka Charlie Sheen” lands Sept. 10, promising raw interviews and new personal details. Documentary fans get a candid arc about fame and recovery; it’s also a nostalgia pull. If you want a deeper, conversation-ready watch, this is it.
