You have until the end of the week: These 10 great movies are leaving Netflix at the end of February
Catch these top films before they are removed from Netflix.
In order to keep things fresh on our screens, Netflix regularly fades out a lot of its content and introduces new shows, keeping us hooked on their content.
While this strategy is understandable, it’s not great for those who love to rewatch their favourite film every week. This month, the streaming platform are set to get rid of 10 top-tier films that you should really race to watch before it’s too late.
Still Alice (2014)

As they attempt to prove themselves, their clumsy yet determined approach leads to hilarious chaos. Featuring supporting performances from Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton, and Steve Coogan, the film delivers sharp satire, over-the-top action, and absurd humor, making it a standout buddy-cop comedy with plenty of memorable moments.
