Make sure to watch these masterpieces while they're available.

While streaming is convenient, it has one very serious flaw. Unlike DVDs and Blu-ray discs that you can keep around the house, your favorite movies aren't available on demand forever, because movies and shows are constantly being added and removed from streaming services. For instance, these ten movies will soon be removed from Apple TV+.
