Like all the best streaming services<\/a>, Netflix gives with one hand and takes with the other. Because while the platform is always adding new movies for subscribers to watch, to make room in its sizeable content library, it also removes some old favorites every month.<\/p>\n

At the start of April 2026, Netflix is set to remove a couple of dozen movies, and I\u2019ve combed through the list of films that will soon be waving goodbye to pick out the five you need to watch while you still can. These range from a palm-sweatingly intense documentary, a crowd-pleasing comedy, a thrilling Stephen King adaptation, and a total \u201cdad movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The good news is you\u2019ve still got time left to enjoy these movies while they\u2019re available on Netflix, but don\u2019t delay, put them at the top of your streaming watchlist before they go.<\/p>\n

‘Misery’ (1990)<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cMisery\u201d ranks as one of the most celebrated adaptations of Stephen King\u2019s works, and even more than 25 years later, it\u2019s just as compelling and tense as ever. Directed by the late Rob Reiner and starring Kathy Bates in perhaps her most iconic role to date (a role for which she won an Oscar), it\u2019s a chilling story of obsession taken to sinister extremes. It makes a few changes from the original novel, but most of these alterations actually add to the tension.<\/p>\n

What to read next<\/p>\n

Caught in a blizzard, famous novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan) gets into a car accident on a winding country road. He\u2019s recused by Annie Wilkes (Bates), a nurse, who just so happens to be a megafan of Sheldon\u2019s popular series of books about a character named Misery Chastain. Recuperating at her remote home, Sheldon finds out he\u2019s really a prisoner. He\u2019s kept captive and forced to write a new Misery novel that will satisfy Annie\u2019s demand.<\/p>\n

\n\"Molly's<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Aaron Sorkin\u2019s directorial debut sees the acclaimed screenwriter bring his trademark energy to \u201cMolly\u2019s Game,” a biographical drama based on Molly Bloom\u2019s 2014 memoir, a hopeful Olympian who became known as the \u201cPoker Princess\u201d after organizing various high-stakes games for A-list stars and influential business people alike. Molly’s exploits also land her in trouble with the FBI and some very shady characters who want a share of the prize pot.<\/p>\n

Molly\u2019s journey from competitive skier to running an underground poker ring sees her rub shoulders with some of the biggest Hollywood stars of the 2000s, but also inadvertently get involved with a group of mobsters. This cinematic retelling of her story jumps between the present day and flashbacks, slowly revealing the story in a way that will keep you hooked throughout. It stars Jessica Chastain as Molly with Idris Elba in support. \u201cMolly\u2019s Game\u201d is a highly entertaining drama bursting with Sorkin\u2019s unique brand of sharp-witted script-writing.<\/p>\n

‘Pitch Perfect’ (2012)<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cPitch Perfect\u201d came out of nowhere in 2012 to make a cappella singing cool, oh, and it was also responsible for the viral \u201ccups\u201d trend that swept social media. While the sequels were fairly unnecessary, the original is certainly a guilty pleasure of mine. Actually, scratch that, there\u2019s no guilt here; this musical comedy is a hoot. Starring Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp and Brittany Snow, you\u2019ve got a cast of talented females who really can sing!<\/p>\n

The cynical Beca (Kendrick) is a new student at Barden University, dragged into the world of competitive a cappella singing when she joins the Barden Bellas. The all-female group has long been in the shadow of the college\u2019s championship-winning male team, the Treblemakers. Wth a new ragtag group of recruits, the Bellas are determined to win the Collegiate A Cappella Championship. Some of the music choices feel very 2010s, but \u201cPitch Perfect\u201d is consistently funny, and the various mash-ups will get stuck in your head.<\/p>\n

Watch “Pitch Perfect” on Netflix<\/a> until April 1<\/p>\n
