There’s plenty to watch across the major streaming services this week, but some movies and shows won’t be sticking around for much longer. From Netflix and Prime Video to Hulu and HBO Max , several titles are preparing to leave their respective platforms over the next few days.
That means it’s time to check your watchlist and see if there’s anything you’ve been putting off. I’ve rounded up 40 movies and shows worth catching before they disappear, including a few hidden gems, familiar favorites and titles you might have missed the first time around.
Whether you’re after a gripping horror flick, a compelling crime film, or something a little more romantic, there’s plenty to choose from. So, if any of these have been sitting on your watchlist, now might be the time to watch before they’re gone.
Genre: Survival thriller movie
What it's about: Medical student Nancy Adams (Blake Lively) travels to a secluded Mexican beach to surf, but her relaxing getaway takes a terrifying turn when a great white shark attacks her. Injured and stranded on a small rock just 200 yards from shore, Nancy must find a way back to land while the predator circles nearby. With limited supplies, rising tides and no immediate help, she faces a desperate fight to survive.
Why you should watch it: "The Shallows" is a great choice when you're after a tense survival thriller that gets straight to the action. Blake Lively carries the film with a convincing physical performance, while director Jaume Collet-Serra makes the most of its isolated setting and terrifying underwater encounters. There's very little padding here, with the 87-minute runtime keeping the story focused and the tension consistently high. It's a particularly good watch if you enjoy shark movies.
Watch "The Shallows" on Netflix until Nov. 15
Genre: Dark comedy action-thriller movie
What it's about: Once a radical revolutionary, Bob Ferguson (Leonardo DiCaprio) has settled into an isolated life, raising his teenage daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti), away from the world. But when his former nemesis, Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw (Sean Penn), resurfaces after 16 years and Willa mysteriously disappears, Bob is forced back into action. Desperate to find his daughter, he reconnects with former allies and confronts the dangerous consequences of his past.
Why you should watch it: There's a lot going on in "One Battle After Another," but that's exactly what makes it such an entertaining watch. Paul Thomas Anderson throws Leonardo DiCaprio into a chaotic story full of outrageous situations, explosive action and some genuinely funny moments. Sean Penn is particularly good as the film's menacing antagonist, providing a strong foil to DiCaprio's character. The unpredictable plot and standout performances give you plenty of reasons to stick around until the end.
Watch "One Battle After Another" on Prime Video until Nov. 18
Genre: Disaster movie
What it's about: In "Twisters," former storm chaser Kate Carter (Daisy Edgar-Jones) returns to Oklahoma at the request of an old friend to test a new tornado-tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), a reckless social media star who chases storms with his crew. As an unprecedented tornado outbreak threatens the region, the rival teams must work together to survive increasingly destructive weather.
Why you should watch it: Few disaster movies deliver quite as much spectacle as "Twisters." The tornado sequences are easily the biggest draw, with some impressive visual effects and genuinely nerve-racking moments as the characters find themselves caught in the path of increasingly dangerous storms. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell make an enjoyable leading pair, bringing enough charm and humor to balance out all the destruction.
Watch "Twisters" on Hulu until Nov. 15
