HBO Max is About to Lose One of its Best Movies, as Nolan’s Masterpiece Confirmed for Removal

by

HBO Max is removing over 70 movies and TV shows next month as part of a content update. Some of the titles leaving the platform include popular films like Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, Saltburn, Brendan Fraser’s The Mummy films, and Logan. However, HBO Max is also adding some great new content, such as Hell or High Water, Midsommar, The Room, and recent movie releases like Pillion, How to Make a Killing, and Undertone. Fans can also look forward to the return of House of the Dragon Season 3, but the loss of several well-loved films and series is still significant.

The removal of films from HBO Max includes a significant loss: Christopher Nolan’s breakthrough film, Memento. This incredibly clever thriller is still considered one of the best movies ever made, and it established many of the themes and techniques Nolan would become known for. Its popularity has only increased over time, as evidenced by the strong reaction to the news of a potential remake – a remake that’s been stuck in development for years. While it’s uncertain if that remake will ever happen, the original Memento holds up remarkably well. Even knowing the central twist doesn’t diminish the enjoyment of watching it again and again, which is a testament to its quality.

I’m glad I have Prime or Peacock because I can still watch the movie with my subscription! It’s a shame for those with HBO Max, though – they won’t be able to see it right now.
