8 Must-See Movies Expiring From Netflix in February 2019
Goodbye may seem forever, but in this case, goodbye just means that if you want to watch one of these movies, you'll have to rent it outright. Every month, Netflix has to clear out a little space in its digital vault of goodness for a new crop of film and television titles. This month, we say goodbye to age-old tales from The Dude, The Dead, and also Anne Hathaway. Here's eight movies that you should get on your radar before it's too late.
Black Dynamite (February 1)
Black Dynamite is one of the best Blaxpoitation films to come out in some time. The film walks that fine line between being funny and incredibly intelligent, calling back to the time of the '70s when Blaxpoitation films were having their heyday.
Clerks (February 1)
The mid-90s treasure that is Clerks is a late 20th century indie darling. Shot for literally under $30,000, the black comedy follows the every day life of two store clerks and the people who occupy their lives. You can't say you didn't know what you were getting, you know?
Shaun of the Dead (February 1)
Goodbye sweet, Simon Pegg. Shaun of the Dead is disappearing on February 1, so you still have a few days to lock in a viewing (or two) of the horror comedy that kicked off the Edgar Wright's Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy that has its own cult following.
The Big Lebowski (February 1)
The Big Lebowski is the gift that keeps on giving. The Coen brothers crime comedy starring Jeff Bridges is set of expire from Netflix on February 1. The film follows Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski who is mistaken for a millionaire and thus must deliver a hefty ransom to save a woman's life.
The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (February 1)
This isn't so much because The Princess Diaries 2 is expiring. This is for the few and proud who love a good The Princess Diaries double-feature. If you're so inclined, the lesser of the two Diaries installments is falling off on February 1, so your window to get the follow up story to the Princess of Genovia's narrative is closing in fast.
Woman in Gold (February 1)
Woman in Gold follows a Jewish refugee as she sets off on an impossible mission against the Austrian government to lay claim to a valuable portrait of her aunt seized when the Nazis invaded. Starring Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds (as her young attorney) the two tun the true-story into a sincerely heartfelt journey.
Cabin Fever (February 2)
Eli Roth's directorial debut leads viewers down an intense journey in this horror-comedy film from the early 2000s. Cabin Fever takes on the story of college students who rent a cabin in the woods and end up with a flesh eating bacteria. If you catch it before February 2, maybe eat beforehand?
Sing (February 3)
Sing is a highly-underrated animated film with a ton of famous voices competing in an American Idol-style competition. Come to hear Reese Witherspoon and Tori Kelly sing. Stay for the touching narrative about a gorilla being separated from his crime-stricken gorilla father.
