Hurry! These Must-Watch Movies Disappear From Netflix in October 2025

October 2025 is eviction month on Netflix: a wave of fan-favorite films is moving out. Queue the standouts now—or risk missing them for good.
Heads up, Netflix grazers: October is bringing a fairly brutal licensing shuffle. Translation: a big stack of movies (and a few shows and specials) vanish throughout the month, with the heaviest hit on October 1. The lineup is a mix of classics, crowd-pleasers, and recent hits — including an entire run of Mission: Impossible films, The Departed, The Prince of Egypt, The Blues Brothers, and yes, even Talk to Me. Also, some Netflix-branded titles are leaving too, which is always a weird thing to explain to your parents.
A couple of inside-baseball notes: the list below includes a few oddities. The Equalizer 2 shows up twice on October 1 in the original notes (no, it is not leaving twice). And Shamwari Untamed pops up on two different days, likely a staggered pull by region/season. Not every title has a year listed, and a few entries are series or specials that sneaked into the movie roundup. Bottom line: if you care about any of these, do not wait.
What to watch before it goes
Highlights: Scorsese vs. Damon/DiCaprio in The Departed; the original The Blues Brothers; the full early run of Mission: Impossible through Rogue Nation; The Deer Hunter and American Graffiti if you want to go old-school; The Prince of Egypt, Wayne's World and Wayne's World 2 for comfort rewatches; plus recent leavers like Anyone But You and Talk to Me. Now You See Me 1 and 2 are also bowing out, along with Rush Hour 2 and 3 (but not 1, because of course).
