You’ve got one last chance to catch these gems before they’re gone.
We’ve already told you about all the exciting new titles coming to Netflix this month, but with that good news also comes bad: Some beloved projects are leaving the service throughout the month. You never know when something might pop up on streaming again (or which of the many services it’ll go to next), so the next few weeks could be your last opportunity for a while to check out some of these fantastic movies and television series.
We’ve got your comprehensive guide to everything that’s dropping off Netflix’s collection this month, including a few highlights that we definitely recommend seeing before they’re gone.
Must-Watch Movies and Shows Leaving Netflix in May 2024
Magic Mike’s Last Dance (Leaving 5/1/24)
If you’ve never seen the third and final installment in the Magic Mike trilogy, now’s the time. Channing Tatum stars as the iconic male stripper — in this film, he departs Florida and heads to London, where he plans to help a rich socialite (Salma Hayek) produce a new play. Expect some steamy dancing and a simmering romantic subplot.
Uncut Gems (Leaving 5/8/24)
A charming yet extremely fallible jeweler (Adam Sandler) who moonlights as a high-stakes gambler makes a bet that could lead to the ultimate windfall. Now, he must juggle his business, his deteriorating relationship with his suburban family, ongoing conflicts with his mistress (Julia Fox), and his many adversaries in pursuit of yet another win.
Boyz n the Hood (Leaving 5/31/24)
In this classic film about live growing up in South Central L.A., Tre (Cuba Gooding Jr.) lives with his father, Furious Styles (Larry Fishburne), in a tough neighborhood where many young men fall victim to gang violence. As Tre and his best friends come of age, they quickly learn harsh lessons about life, love, and tragedy.
The Great Gatsby (Leaving 5/31/24)
In this 2013 film adaptation of the book you definitely read in high school English, Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) is an aspiring writer who befriends millionaire Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) in 1920’s New York. Gatsby is hopelessly in love with Daisy (Carey Mulligan) and the two begin an iconic affair. As a result, Nick becomes drawn into the strangely perverse world of the wealthy and learns that money can spawn as many problems as it solves.
