by

Five great movies are leaving Netflix this weekend, on Sunday, February 1st, 2026. If you want to watch them, now’s your last chance before they’re removed from the streaming service.

This collection of five films features beloved classics from a variety of genres – including thrillers, dramas, and action movies – and even includes a recent Academy Award winner. Catch these highly-rated movies on Netflix before they’re gone!

Parasite

Released in 2019, Parasite is widely considered one of the best films of the 21st century. Directed and co-written by Bong Joon-ho, it won four Academy Awards in 2020, including Best Picture.

Okay, so “Parasite” is this absolutely brilliant Korean film. It’s a dark comedy with some really unsettling psychological twists. Basically, it follows the Kim family, who are seriously down on their luck, and how they start working for the super-rich Park family. It’s not just a simple story though – it gets incredibly complex, and it’s a really thought-provoking, yet surprisingly entertaining, look at the issues of greed and class differences. It’s tragic, it’s thrilling, and honestly, it’s one of those movies that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

The popular 2005 action comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith, starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (in one of their only on-screen pairings), will soon be removed from both Netflix and Prime Video. It’s a classic, fun movie that many remember fondly from the 2000s.

John and Jane Smith are both highly skilled assassins, but they work for competing agencies. Their secret romance becomes incredibly complicated when they’re each assigned to kill the other.

Groundhog Day

Bill Murray’s performance in Groundhog Day is a classic, but it’s ironically being removed from Netflix right before Groundhog Day itself! The movie follows a self-centered weatherman who gets stuck reliving the same day repeatedly. It’s a hugely influential film that has inspired many others, and it’s perfect for family viewing.

28 Days Later

Before the recent hit film 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, there was the groundbreaking original, 28 Days Later. Starring Cillian Murphy and directed by Danny Boyle, both Academy Award winners, this movie is a classic dystopian thriller and a must-see for any horror enthusiast.

The Terminator

This weekend, the action classic The Terminator, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and directed by James Cameron, is leaving Netflix. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time viewer, be sure to catch this influential film before it’s gone from the streaming service.
