Last Call: The Must-See Movies Leaving Netflix in November 2025
Got unfinished business on your Netflix watchlist? A wave of fan favorites and under-the-radar gems vanishes in November, making now your last chance to press play before they’re gone.
Netflix is doing a big November clean-out, and it hits a lot of crowd-pleasers all at once. Think Shrek, Despicable Me/Minions, Willy Wonka, and a whole Fast & Furious run leaving on the same day. Throughout the month, a few recent theatrical releases and awards players bow out too. Yes, even some Netflix-branded titles are vanishing because licensing is weird. If any of these are on your watchlist, this is your nudge.
Quick heads-up on how to use this: the dates below are when titles leave, so the safer move is to watch by the night before. Also, 'Netflix Original Removal' means it is one of those Netflix releases that still rotates off the service. It happens.

Shawn Mendes: Live in Concert (2020) - Netflix Original Removal
The Nov 1 wave is the big one: all the Shrek movies, the Despicable Me/Minions combo, Willy Wonka old and newish chocolate factories, and a full pit stop tour through the Fast & Furious era. A couple notable recent leavers: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is gone Nov 6, while Madame Web and Smile dip on Nov 14. Awards favorites Past Lives (Nov 2) and A Star Is Born (Nov 8) also bail. If you were eyeing The Gentlemen, note it is the 2020 movie, not the newer show.
If you are triaging, I would prioritize Past Lives, La La Land, The English Patient, The Color Purple (2023), The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Smile, The Gentlemen, and the Jaws run. But if the kids have a Shrek phase going, you know what to do.
