Not all the movies available on Netflix are permanent. Non-platform productions are subject to time-limited licensing agreements, and once these rights expire, they are quietly removed from the digital library, even if they are among the most popular or impactful films.

In the coming period, Netflix is preparing to remove a selection of non-original films, including iconic and popular works that have left a clear mark on cinematic memory.

Below, we present 10 films that will soon leave Netflix, along with a brief about each one and why they are still worth watching.

Why does Netflix remove movies?
The platform relies on streaming contracts with various studios and production companies, and when the license expires, the movie is automatically removed unless the agreement is renewed.

The departure of these films is a reminder that Netflix's library is constantly changing, and some works don't last long. If any of these films are on your delayed watchlist, perhaps it's time to renew your Netflix subscription and watch them before they disappear from the platform.

Today's list is your last chance to revisit films that have crafted collective memory, whether classic, humane, or entertaining.
