If you're looking for the perfect movie to bring in the weekend, these brilliant films are leaving Netflix at the end of the day. They run the gamut from small-scale dramas to blockbuster action extravaganzas, and this is your last chance to enjoy them before they're gone.
Netflix removes movies from its service all the time, but there's a surge of content leaving the platform at the end of each month. That's why today—the last day of February—is your last chance to watch so many movies before a new month of content begins. I've scoured the list and cherry-picked the best options for you to choose from, but I'll also put the entire list at the end of this post if none of my highlights take your fancy.
When it comes to original shows and movies, no service comes close to Netflix. New original content is released weekly, so you'll never run out of shows to watch.
Legends of the Fall is a heart-wrenching, Western epic, starring Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins. Opening in the early 1900s, the film spans half a century, following the lives of a father and his three sons who battle through war, the forces of nature, love, and heartbreak in the Montana wilderness. The film was nominated for three Academy Awards, taking home the Oscar for Best Cinematography.

Inception is a mind-bending, sci-fi, action blockbuster from Christopher Nolan. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Cobb, a highly skilled "extractor" tasked by Ken Watanabe to infiltrate the dreams of a rival CEO and leave behind an idea in his subconscious. The all-star cast features performances from Elliot Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine and more. And the time-diluting, multi-layered action sequences are intense, edge-of-your-seat affairs, further heightened by Hans Zimmer's era-defining score.
