Summer is just about here, and I’m starting to feel pangs of nostalgia for a favorite pastime of adolescence. On hot nights in the 1980s, my friends and I would head to air-conditioned movie theaters. But I wasn’t all that interested in seeing the latest boy-adventure blockbuster from George Lucas or Steven Spielberg. I wanted to see movies that told stories that resonated with my life: adventures of a more down-to-earth, female-centric variety. At that age, my girlfriends and I were trying to navigate the difficult terrain that comes with falling in love; becoming sexual; dealing with friends, family and school, but most of all, growing up and trying to be our own person.

For more insight on why it took “The Other Side of the Wind” so friggin’ long to get released, queue up Morgan Neville’s superb documentary “They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead.” The “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” director gives us an interesting portrait of a complicated Welles during the final phase of his influential career. Neville’s film is endlessly clever and fascinating. It’s also available on Nov. 2. And if you’re ready to leap into the winter holiday season, Netflix is also dropping “The Holiday Calendar” on Nov. 2. Kat Graham stars in this rom-com revolving around a fortune-telling advent calendar.
