The weather is heating up, and so is Netflix’s release schedule. As the OTT giant is all set to bring in new titles for the fans, a long list of familiar fan favourites is also set to exit. So, before their departure, we have brought you a list of the films and shows to binge before they leave Netflix.

Whether you are craving an emotional drama or a blood-pumping action thriller, this farewell list includes it all. Starting with Britney Spears‘ starrer Crossroads, a cult favourite about three teenage girls going on a cross-country road trip. This film gave us one of the most quoted pop performances of the early 2000s and is sadly saying goodbye. Although not a certified cinematic masterpiece, this film promises you charm, warmth and a tender take on female friendship. So if you are planning to get nostalgic, this film should be your next pick.

Also packing their bags are a few critically acclaimed films that truly deserve a last-minute watch. Charlize Theron’s Tully is one of them. It should be on your list if you wish to witness a moving look at modern motherhood and burnout. This Jason Reitman-directed film tells the story of a mom who approaches a nanny hesitantly after the birth of her third child, and slowly unfolds into exploring their bond.

Similarly, Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick have played two school-run mums to partner in crime in A Simple Favor, the sequel of which has been recently released. This stylish yet slightly twisted thriller-comedy is a fun watch if you are craving something out of the box. So, before you move on to watch the sequel of the film, watch A Simple Favor before it leaves the OTT on May 19th.

If you are more into action and political intrigue, The Sum of All Fears, featuring Morgan Freeman and Ben Affleck, is the one to catch before it goes. The Last Days, the Oscar-winning documentary on Holocaust survivors, is also departing the platform.

Another nostalgic watch, but this time in a family edition, brings you a few animated staples that are leaving the platform. Trolls Band Together, Inspector Gadget and The Batman, all these beloved animated shows are set to leave the station, so it is your sign to binge-watch them.

Not just this, the list also includes some hidden international gems that are worth exploring. Sudani from Nigeria, Kedibone, Dazzling Mirage, and Ayinla, all these films, each telling a personal, regionally rooted emotional story, are leaving Netflix. The best part about these films is that even though they belong to a variety of regions of the world, the stories they tell are of universal experiences which everyone can relate to. These are the stories of romance, resilience, ambition and grief, stories of people like us from different parts of the world. All these films truly deserve one last stream before they leave the platform.

So consider this as your sign and go watch these films and shows before they leave. From bittersweet dramas to classic animation hits, here is every film and series leaving Netflix this week:
