Complementing what might be the best month for new arrivals on Netflix in years are some of the most regrettable departures we’ve seen all year. Every month, Netflix loses a small selection of licensed movies and TV shows, but oftentimes, there are only a few that really stand out. Not so in September — it’s hit after hit after hit.
It starts with two of the best superhero movies ever made: Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Remember when DC was consistently putting out great Batman movies? We’re also losing comedy classic Ghostbusters, (modern) classic Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Wes Anderson’s brilliant and touching indie hit Moonrise Kingdom. And if you never saw Disney’s Pete’s Dragon remake, I implore you to give it a shot before it disappears.
Here are the ten best movies that Netflix is dumping next month, and the date on which they will be dumped. If you don’t watch them before then, you might never get to see them on Netflix at all:
- Batman Begins (September 1st)
- Casino (September 1st)
- Dead Poets Society (September 1st)
- Forgetting Sarah Marshall (September 1st)
- Ghostbusters (September 1st)
- The Dark Knight (September 1st)
- Pete’s Dragon (September 14th)
- Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead (September 15th)
- Moonrise Kingdom (September 16th)
- The Imitation Game (September 28th)
Once you’ve had your fill of content that will be disappearing from Netflix next month, you can check out the full list of movies, shows and specials being added to Netflix in September to take their place.
