9 Netflix Movies To Watch Before They Disappear In November
Remember that movie you added to your Netflix queue but forgot about while binge-watching "House of Cards" or "Breaking Bad"? Well, it could be gone due to Netflix's monthly purge, and to prevent such a scenario from playing out on Nov. 1, here are the best movies to watch before they are gone. You can check out the full list of Netflix movies that are disappearing in November here.
"Serenity"
"Take my love, take my land. Take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take 'Firefly' from me," is the unofficial remix for fans of the show, but Netflix is planning to remove "Serenity," the 2005 film directed by Joss Whedon, in November. "Firefly" was canceled by Fox but revived as a movie due to its rabid cult following. While "Serenity" may not live up to the series, it does provide a lot of answers and gives fans a sense of closure.
"The Good, The Bad & The Ugly"
Maybe spaghetti westerns are not your thing but there's no denying how great Sergio Leone's epic tale of three men joining up to find some buried gold. Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach are just incredible to watch, and who can forget Ennio Morricone's score or the gorgeous cinematography of Tonino Delli Colli? "For a Few Dollars More," the second movie in the "Dollars Trilogy," is also leaving Netflix in November.
"Apocalypse Now"
Francis Ford Coppola's dramatic Vietnam War film is wrapped in madness, as the viewer follows the story of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz who becomes a god to a local tribe. "'Apocalypse Now' is more clearly than ever one of the key films of the century. Most films are lucky to contain a single great sequence. 'Apocalypse Now' strings together one after another, with the river journey as the connecting link," Roger Ebert said of the movie in 1999. While the movie itself is considered a classic, the behind-the-scenes stories are just as compelling and documented in "Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse." A re-edited cut of the film "Apocalypse Now Redux" is also disappearing in November.
"Say Anything"
John Cusack, the '80s and Cameron Crowe, need we say more? "Say Anything" is a fun story of an underachiever who finds love and is willing to do anything, which includes holding a boombox over his head and blasting Peter Gabriel outside of his love interest's house. For another 80s option, check out "St. Elmo's Fire" or "Footloose" before they disappear.
"Candyman"
For something Halloween-related, "Candyman" is a nice diversion. Not the scariest horror movie, but it's a fun diversion that is well made. "In 'Candyman,' adapted by Bernard Rose from the [Clive] Barker novel 'The Forbidden,' the horror unfolds inside a housing project and plays out provocatively against a backdrop of racial injustice," says Janet Maslin in her review for the New York Times.
"American Psycho"
Christian Bale delivers a great performance as Patrick Bateman that explores greed, excess and Wall Street. Bateman is a psychopath whose desires and fantasies spiral out of control, culminating in a shocking ending.
"Single White Female"
Do not watch this movie if you are looking for a roommate or have just moved in with a relative stranger. Things start off well enough, but it gets creepy in a hurry.
"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"
The whole movie is a giant chase scene as the two train robbers try to flee the law. Robert Redford and Paul Newman deliver iconic performances of two real-life criminals.
"Trees Lounge"
Steve Buscemi's debut as a director, "Trees Lounge" is a great character study of an unemployed man trying to find meaning in his life.
