Netflix Movies Disappearing 2015: Over 60 Movies And TV Shows Expiring In January
Jan. 1 marks the end of the Christmas season for many people – including Netflix. The streaming service will ditch “Love Actually” along with more than 60 other titles on New Year's Day, Vulture reports.
The 2003 film is a modern Christmas classic for many movie watchers. The film follows several intertwined love stories on Christmas Eve with an all-star cast including Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy, Emma Thompson and more. The format sparked a trend with movies like “Valentine’s Day,” “New Year’s Eve” and “What To Expect When You’re Expecting” following similar layouts with various interwoven stories and large casts. Some might be upset to see it go, but it’s one of a few recent films to expire in January 2015.
Netflix will also take “Taylor Swift: Journey to Fearless” off on Jan. 1. It seems Spotify isn’t the only Swift-less streaming service. Swift’s 2010 special consisted of three parts, but fans will have to watch before 2015 if they want to see Swift before she left country for pop.
Those who are fans of old classics will also have to deal with many losses. Many classic film adaptations of classic books are leaving Netflix. The 1940 adaptation of John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes Of Wrath,” the 1959 movie version of Jules Verne’s “Journey to the Center of the Earth” and the 1976 version of Stephen King’s “Carrie” will all expire on Netflix in 2015. Also, some 1980s favorites like "The Breakfast Club," "Red Dawn" and "Kramer vs. Kramer" are scheduled to disappear. Don’t worry, Netflix won't be low on films after these expire. Plenty of titles are being added in January, including 10 seasons of "Friends." See if any of your favorite films or TV shows are leaving below.
