The Netflix lineup of films and TV series is always changing, and although the next weeks will offer us lots of highly anticipated new episodes and blockbuster blockbusters, it will also be time to say goodbye to certain titles.
Among those on the chopping block are blockbusters starring Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, and Henry Cavill, an Oscar-winning 90s classic, one of the 80s’ most fondly remembered coming-of-age films, and a Come Dine With Me spin-off you might have missed the first time around.
So, what is leaving UK Netflix in the next weeks, and how much time do you have to view it?
Here are some titles to check out before they’re gone…
Justice League
The 2017 movie stars Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and The Flash (Ezra Miller), among others from DC Comics.
The narrative revolves around the comic book titans banding together to defend the world from a new menace.
Leaving Netflix on: November 24
Old
M Night Shyamalan’s 2021 thriller about a family that experiences accelerated ageing after visiting a secret beach had us all on the edge of our seats.
If you’ve seen the Sixth Sense director’s previous work, you’ll know what to expect here: mystery, tension, spooky effects galore, and a surprise that will keep you guessing until the end.
Leaving Netflix on: November 25
F9: The Fast Saga
Fast & Furious 9 – despite being the eleventh installment in the franchise overall. Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron join Vin Diesel, Ludacris, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, and John Cena in this one.
Expect fast-paced action as Diesel’s character Dominic Toretto joins forces with the usual suspects to foil a world-changing conspiracy involving his younger brother Jakob (Cena).

Young Adult
Charlize Theron received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in this comedy-drama from the same team that brought you Juno.

Leaving Netflix on: December 1
As Good As It Gets
This 1997 comedy-drama won Academy Awards for best actor and actress for Jack Nicholson, who played a misanthropic, obsessive-compulsive romance author, and Helen Hunt, who played the waitress who begins to soften his hard demeanour.
It’s a modern classic that won the major Oscars the same year Titanic swept the board.
Leaving Netflix on: December 1
Stand By Me
Stand By Me, based on Stephen King’s novella The corpse, is a full-fledged 80s classic starring Wil Wheaton, Jerry O’Connell, Corey Feldman, and the late River Phoenix as four 12-year-old pals on a journey to recover the corpse of a missing adolescent during Labour Day weekend in 1959.
It’s about time you see it if you haven’t already.

Stuart Little
This 1999 box office smash about a couple (played by Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie) who adopt a mouse with extremely human characteristics as a younger brother for their kid (Jerry Maguire’s Jonathan Lipnicki) will transport you back to your youth.
Stuart Little and its sequel will be leaving Netflix shortly, so if you want to see them both, you’d best hurry.

Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves
Call in sick for Christmas because Robin Hood is leaving Netflix! Kevin Costner plays as the legendary Robin Hood, an English nobleman seeking vengeance on the Sherriff of Nottingham (a scene-stealing Alan Rickman) for the death of his father.
You don’t have much longer to get your fill of 12th-century action, romance, and that Bryan Adams song (Everything I Do I Do It For You), which topped the charts for 16 weeks that year.
Leaving Netflix on: December 1
Sausage Party
This hilarious 2016 animated comedy for adults follows the events that occur when a supermarket sausage finds the truth about what happens to goods once they reach the kitchen.
You won’t want to show this to your kids since it’s dark and sweary, but also very, very amusing, with a narrative that will truly make you think.
