Netflix is losing 41 movies this month — here's the 5 you need to stream now
The Netflix movie library is constantly rotating. While the streaming service adds plenty of new flicks each month, it also removes some old favorites to make room. On June 30, 2025, Netflix will remove more than 40 movies from its platform. These cover pretty much all genres, from family-friendly adventures like 'The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water' to jump-scare-landed horror like 'The Nun.' The platform is also removing the complete 'Twilight' saga, so if you want to relive your angst-ridden teen years, you've got only a few days left. While some of the soon-to-be-removed movies probably won't be missed by many subscribers, there's a healthy handful that I'm sad to see go. But don't worry — you've still got a little time to watch because the month isn't over yet. These are the five Netflix movies you should stream right now before they head to the great streaming service in the sky. 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.' is unquestionably one of the most beloved rom-coms of the 21st century. It's not hard to see why, either. Any movie that brings together Steve Carell, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling and Julianne Moore, flaked by John Carroll Lynch, Marisa Tomei and Kevin Bacon, is going to be a hotbed of lovable charm and charisma. Plus, that third-act scene (you know the one) seems to go viral literally every single week, for good reason. This easy-watching comedy opens with Cal Weaver (Carell) discovering his wife (Moore) is having an affair. Thrust back into single life and very out of practice when it comes to dating, a younger hotshot womanizer (Gosling) takes Cal under his wing. But his bar-hopping commitaphobe starts to change his ways when he begins to fall for one of his hook-ups named Hannah (Stone). Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Genuinely funny, surprisingly romantic and effortlessly warm, it's an almost perfect rom-com. Watch on Netflix until June 30, 2025 One of 2024's very best movies is making its exit from Netflix this month. 'Dune Part Two' is another sci-fi masterpiece from Denis Villeneuve, and it gives even 'The Lord of the Rings' a run for its money when it comes to epic scale. This sprawling blockbuster combines intergalactic politicking with deeply compelling characters and a hair-raising sense of spectacle. I thought Villeneuve's first 'Dune' movie was a remarkable achievement, but 'Part Two' raises the bar even further. And I've not even touched upon the ludicrously stacked cast, incorporating more than a dozen recognizable A-list names from Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya to Rebecca Ferguson and Javier Bardem. In the wake of the fall of House Atreides (as depicted in 2021's 'Dune'), Paul (Chalamet) has united with the Fremen clan, as he seeks to liberate the desert planet of Arrakis from the treacherous forces that betrayed his family. Struggling with his supposed destiny to become a great leader who will determine the fate of the universe, he also begins to fall in love with a Fremen rebel, Chani (Zendaya). Gripping from the drop, 'Dune: Part Two' is incredible. Watch on Netflix until June 30, 2025 With the franchise reboot on the horizon (it's set to arrive in theatres this summer), now is a great time to rewatch, or get familiar with, the '90s original. 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' is an archetypal slasher, the type of horror movie that 'Scream' was lampooning just a year prior, and was thoroughly mocked in the first 'Scary Movie.' Yet while it sticks to all the genre conventions, 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' remains an enjoyably silly popcorn-muncher, and there's enough bloody fun to keep you hooked throughout. The movie centers on a group of friends who accidentally hit a pedestrian following a beach trip to celebrate July 4. They swear a pact to hide the body and never speak of the incident again. However, a year later, one of the group, Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt), receives a letter telling her that somebody knows what they did, and the mystery sender wants revenge. Also starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr., it's a pretty cheesy, yet enjoyable watch. Watch on Netflix until June 30, 2025 Netflix is removing the entire original 'Ocean's' trilogy this month, so now is the perfect time for a movie marathon full of gripping heists and larger-than-life characters. Directed by Steven Soderbergh (whose new movie 'Black Bag' is one of the year's best to date), and a remake of the 1960s Rat Pack crowd-pleaser of the same name, it stars a legendary crew of 2000s top-tier talent including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Jula Roberts and Casey Affleck. Clooney plays the leader of the group, Danny Ocean, a career criminal who uses his charms to rob those he believes deserve their comeuppance. Alongside partner in crime Rusty (Pitt), he brings together a sophisticated group of thieves to pull off a seriously audacious heist. The plan is to rob three of Las Vegas' biggest casinos in one swoop, and the stakes are extra personal because the owner of these gambling establishments happens to be dating Danny's ex-wife, Tess (Roberts). Watch on Netflix until June 30, 2025 'The Equalizer 3' has enjoyed a fruitful run on Netflix, holding the No. 1 spot for several weeks when it first arrived on the streaming service in early 2024. Since then, it's always been in and around the top 10, but all good things must come to an end, and Netflix will soon lose one of Denzel Washington's best action efforts to date. For anybody who (foolishly) doubts it, 'The Equalizer 3' again confirms Washington's status as the coolest man in Hollywood. The second sequel to the 2014 original sees Washington return as Robert McCall, a former Marine and government assassin who now protects the vulnerable in society who are unable to defend themselves. Having moved to southern Italy to escape his past actions, McCall's sun-soaked retirement is short-lived when he's forced back into the field to save his new friends from a local mafia boss, who might be McCall's most ruthless foe yet. Watch on Netflix until June 30, 2025

Horror fans rage 'that's two hours of my life stolen' after streaming movie dubbed 'worst they have ever watched'
A resurfaced clip from a 2021 horror initially piqued the interest of prospective horror viewers, but the excitement didn't last long after they branded the movie 'bone dry' and 'disappointing'. John And The Hole, a coming-of-age psychological thriller, follows the story of 13-year-old John (Charlie Shotwell) who feels disillusioned with his wealthy family. He discovers an underground bunker on their estate - and for no apparent reason, decides to drug his family and hold them captive inside it. John then carries out the mundane, yet familiar, childlike fantasy of 'living like an adult', while his family wrestles with the implications of their confinement, in a sinister Home Alone-esque narrative. John and the Hole was the directorial debut of Pascual Sisto and featured prominent horror stars including Taissa Farmiga (The Nun, The Conjuring, American Horror Story) and Michael C Hall (Dexter). It captured attention at the 2020 Cannes and Sundance festivals, thanks to an ingenious marketing campaign - but failed to live up to viewers' expectations. One reviewer on Reddit highlighted the disappointing hollowness of the movie despite having a 'cast that had so much potential'. The film attempts to explore the psychological perplexity of adolescence but appears to be more irritating than insightful to viewers, many of whom perceive it to be a directionless euro-arthouse romp. 'You could cut 15 minutes from this film just by trimming time off long stares and useless establishing shots that serve limited purpose,' writes one Letterboxd reviewer. 'It's a showy film that wants you to think it's artsy. The performances work and the film does build tension effectively but it's an annoying type of tension.' 'Sick of these empty "ambiguous" exercises with nothing of consequence', writes another. 'Nobody cares about your static shots and your failed attempts to be literary. I'm done with this empty, meaningless yuppie-core festival bait.' Many were also disheartened by the movie's lack of commitment to the horror genre, calling it 'boring' and a 'snoozefest' with unbearably slow pacing. Critics rated the film 59 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, with audience ratings at an even harsher 24 per cent and it averages a 1.7/5 rating on Google reviews.

This is one shallow hole.' Another echoed: 'WORST MOVIE EVER!! I want my life back!! 'You are forced watch the most ridiculous situation ever and you are waiting for a resolution that makes sense of the absolutely stupid premise and then… NOTHING!!!! 'It's the stupidest, sorry, who paid for this? Who read this script and went, YES!! A movie WITH NO POINT.' The dull film is a far cry from a controversial horror film that was aired on BBC2 on Friday night, which caused mass crowds to walk out during its first screening. Crimes Of The Future, which stars Twilight's Kristen Stewart and Lord of the Rings' Viggo Mortensen, is not for the faint-hearted. Dozens of viewers could not handle it at its debut screening at the Cannes Film Festival and had to leave. But the 2022 David Cronenberg hit - which has been described as 'skin-crawling - also received a seven-minute round of applause, as well as an 80 per cent Rotten Tomatoes score. The film includes a gory child autopsy scene, shots of bloody intestines and characters who orgasm by licking each other's open wounds The synopsis reads: 'As the human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the body undergoes new transformations and mutations. 'With his partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux), Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), celebrity performance artist, publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. 'Timlin (Kristen Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed... 'Their mission - to use Saul's notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.' Cronenberg told Variety previously about the walkout uproar: 'It doesn't make me sad. 'I mean, the worst thing is if your movie is boring and I've been some screenings in Cannes where nobody walked out, but nobody cared about the movie either.
