You Have Only A Few Hours To Watch One Of These 5 Classic Movies Before They're Removed From Netflix

As fall gets a little colder and Netflix, Inc. NFLX renegotiates and renews content contracts, users will see a slate of new titles arrive, but many others leave the platform.

While some of the movies departing are certainly dispensable, others are a must-see.

Here’s a list of five classic films you should watch before Netflix removes them from their U.S. portal.

1) The Truman Show (1998)

IMDb Rating: 8.1

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 94%

Production Company: Viacom, Inc. VIAB’s Paramount Pictures

Today is your last chance to catch this Peter Weir and Jim Carrey classic where a man discovers his whole life has been a lie, made for television.

2) Almost Famous (2000)

IMDb Rating: 7.9

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 89%

Production Company: Sony Corp (ADR) SNE’s Columbia Pictures and Viacom, Inc. VIA’s DreamWorks SKG

A not-sot-old classic, Cameron Crowe’s film follows a young boy who tags along a rock band tour as he writes a feature for Rolling Stone Magazine.

3) E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

IMDb Rating: 7.9

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 98%

Production Company: Comcast Corporation's CMCSA Universal Pictures

Grab some popcorn and get ready to binge, because Steven Spielberg’s E.T. is also leaving on Tuesday.

4) Fresh (1994)

IMDb Rating: 7.7

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 89%

Production Company: Lumière Pictures and Miramax

You’re probably frustrated by now and don’t want to read this, but Fresh is also slated for removal from Netflix’s catalog on Tuesday. Are you into heavy, realistic dramas? This movie is certainly for you.

5) Into the Wild (2007)

IMDb Rating: 8.2

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 82%

Production Company: Viacom’s Paramount Vantage

The picture that makes you want to be young and adventurous is set to commence its own journey without Netflix on Tuesday.

Feeling down? Remember Christopher McCandless’ words: “I will miss you too, but you are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from the joy of human relationships. God's place is all around us, it is in everything and in anything we can experience. People just need to change the way they look at things.”

Might he be suggesting you switch to Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN Prime?
