Whereas a handful of major shows are being added to Netflix in the coming month, not many are leaving.
Rather, a variety of hugely influential, insightful, and magnificent films are being chopped from the roster, to make room for a handful of new ones.
Most of them expire on the first of the month, making Halloween night your last night to watch masterworks like Joel and Ethan Coen’sFargo,Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s stunningCleopatra,The Blues Brothers,David O. Russell’sThree Kings,Martin Scorsese’sThe Last Waltz,Wes Craven’sScream, andZhang Yimou’s intoxicatingHouse of Flying Daggers, none of which would necessarily count as a good Halloween movie.
For that, you could go forFunny Games, the infamously sadistic satire fromMichael Haneke, the controversial Austrian helmer behindCache,The White Ribbon, andAmore, or any of theSawmovies…if you must.
Beyond that, the excellent, enigmatic French thrillerStranger by the Lakewill be deleted mid-month, while the end of the month will bring the expiration ofLeviathan, arguably one of the best documentaries of the decade thus far.
Skim the list to see if there’s anything you’ve been meaning to get to, because who knows when they’ll make it back into the streaming rotation.
