Over the next few days, Netflix is embarking on a mass-deletion blitzkrieg, with over 60 movies and TV shows set to disappear from its servers. Noteworthy casualties include Grease, Donnie Darko, The Godfather, Ocean’s 11, the Oscar-nominated Room and er, Miley Cyrus’ LOL.
Here’s everything that will be gone on November 30. Watch them while you still can!
Each month, the Australian site New On Netflix lists the third-party movies and TV shows whose licences are set to expire. The final days of November will see a whopping 65 movies and TV shows axed from the service. Which is rather a lot.

Here’s everything you can look forward to on Netflix this festive season.”]
Movies Leaving Netflix – November 30
Sadly, there are a bunch of stone-cold classics leaving the service this week, including The Godfather, Forrest Gump, Donnie Darko, Network, Ocean’s 11 and the original Grease. If you’ve not seen these films, I highly recommend giving them a watch pronto.
There are some significant ‘family friendly’ casualties too, including Disney’s Beauty and the Beast remake and the modern stop-frame masterpiece Kubo and the Two Strings.
Oddly, Netflix is also removing a bunch of Christmas shows just before December, including Miracle on 34th Street, Beethoven’s Christmas Adventure and Jingle All The Way. Go figure.
