Netflix subscribers are always looking for what’s new on the popular streaming service. But it’s also worth remembering that Netflix removes content each month to make way for all the fresh additions. Don’t miss your last chance to stream an old favorite.
On March 1, 2026, a couple of dozen movies will be waving goodbye to Netflix (for now, at least), and I’ve combed through the list and picked out five flicks worth streaming while you still have the chance. These include Oscar winners, superhero blockbusters, harrowing dramas and more.
The good news is that you’ve still got time to watch these great movies on Netflix, but the clock is ticking. Put these films at the top of your watchlist and get streaming them as soon as possible.
‘Pulp Fiction’ (1994)
It feels almost silly to make a case why you should watch “Pulp Fiction” ahead of its removal from the Netflix movie library. Widely considered Quentin Tarantino’s magnum opus, the near bulletproof reputation of this 1994 crime epic speaks for itself. You’ve heard of “Pulp Fiction,” you’ve likely already seen it, and you probably don’t need me to explain why it’s brilliant.
Need a quick refresher? “Pulp Fiction” collects multiple interconnected chapters that crossover in consistently delightful ways. Each character is intriguing enough to anchor an entire movie, but are just part of the glorious puzzle that is “Pulp Fiction”. There’s the hitman duo, Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), crime boss Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames), his actress wife, Mia (Uma Thurman), and debt-drowning boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis).

‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ (2013)
Martin Scorsese’s filmography is so strong that I genuinely couldn’t pick a favorite (why not try yourself in the poll below?). But I think “The Wolf of Wall Street” might just be the Scorsese movie I’ve watched the most. That’s some achievement considering its chunky three-hour runtime means it’s no quick watch. But that sizeable time-investment is well rewarded. Not only do you get a ridiculously entertaining flick that reveals in excess, but it also features one of Leonardo DiCaprio’s best performances to date. “The Wolf of Wall Street” delights in moral decay, in the best way.
Based on the true story of stockbroker Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio), “The Wolf of Wall Street” charts his career from selling worthless penny stocks to starting his own powerful brokerage firm. Along the way, Belfort has no qualms about crossing over the line into illegal trading. If DiCaprio at his charismatic best isn’t enough of a draw for you to watch, there’s strong support from Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie and Matthew McConaughey. “The Wolf of Wall Street” might be three hours long, but the time flies by.

‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ (2012)
“The Amazing Spider-Man” series has become the ugly duckling of the web-slingers’ two-and-a-half-decade run on the big screen. It doesn’t have the nostalgia (and meme-fueled) fanbase of the Rami trilogy, nor the MCU-backed strength of Tom Holland’s current run as Peter Parker, but “The Amazing Spider-Man” does still have its merits. Andrew Garfield makes for a great Spider-Man, playing a loveably dorky Parker and the perfect wisecracking Spidey. Plus, Garfield’s chemistry with his on-screen love interest, Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy, is completely off the charts.
Perhaps the movie’s biggest flaw is the decision to again recount Spider-Man’s origin story. The core narrative feels extremely played out from the drop. Still, in this spin on Parker’s transformation from high schooler to crime-fighting hero, he squares off against the Lizard (Rhys Ifans), which at least feels new. But word of advice, skip the also-leaving sequel. “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” is a complete mess and not worth your time.

‘Braveheart’ (1995)
“Braveheart” proves that when making a period epic, you shouldn’t necessarily let historical accuracy get in the way of crafting a great movie. Yes, “Braveheart” takes many liberties with the true story of Scottish warrior Sir William Wallace, but when the final result is a Best Picture-winner, who can argue it’s not a worthy trade-off? Directed by and starring Mel Gibson, “Braveheart” is a movie full of grand moments and spine-chilling speeches.
Set in the 13th century, William Wallace (Gibson) is a Scottish patriot who sparks a revolution against the English forces, led by King Edward I (Patrick McGoohan). Wallace’s quest is one of revenge after English soldiers executed his wife, but he’s also fighting for his native land’s freedom. “Braveheart” may not be beholden to the historical facts, but it’s unquestionably epic. I dare you to watch and not get totally invested.

‘Still Alice’ (2014)
“Still Alice” was warmly embraced back in 2014. Julianne Moore even took home the Best Actress Oscar for her performance, while Kristen Stewart was also much praised. In fact, the drama flick started a shift in perception for Stewart after her time in the maligned “Twilight” franchise led many to dismiss her acting chops. But, over the past decade or so, it’s fallen a little into the shadows, but I think it deserves to be remembered even now.
Based on the novel by Lisa Genova, “Still Alice” centers on Dr. Alice Howland (Moore), a razor-sharp professor at Columbia University. When her mind starts to become foggy, she receives a devastating diagnosis: early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. As the cruel illness takes hold of Alice, her husband (Alec Baldwin) and three adult children (Kristen Stewart, Kate Bosworth and Hunter Parrish) watch on as the Alice they know slips away.
