Each month, several films and TV shows leave Netflix’s catalogue. We provide a list of departing titles so you can watch them before they’re gone forever (or are just available on a different site). For more comprehensive coverage of the best titles available on Netflix and elsewhere, check out Vulture’s What to Stream Now hub, which is updated throughout the month.
Good-bye, farewell, and amen: M*A*S*H (Seasons 1 to 11)
All 11 years of the Korean War comedy leave Netflix at once, so unless you fall into some sort of Alan Alda–tinged fugue state, you’re not going to get to all of it. Still, check out “Abyssinia, Henry,” “Old Soldiers,” and the very, very dark finale if you have the time. Leaving April 11.
Bring me everyone! Léon: The Professional (1994)
A hardened hit man befriends a young Natalie Portman. The rest of the plot spirals ludicrously outward as the two team up to get revenge on a bad DEA agent (Gary Oldman, gloriously overacting). Léon launched Portman’s career, cemented director Luc Besson’s, and remains thrilling and unsettling to this day. Leaving April 1.
Know your foe: Starship Troopers (1997)
A sci-fi film turned send-up of a fascist state, Paul Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers imagines a brutal, ceaseless battle against bug aliens fought by the world’s best and brightest teen heartthrobs. It’s The Hunger Games without the glitz of reality TV, but with Neil Patrick Harris doing the propaganda videos. Leaving April 1.
Twisted love: Let the Right One In (2008)
Bergman-like Scandinavian vampire horror — with children! A lonely boy befriends a mysterious, dark girl, and they have the kind of puppy love that leads to increasingly brutal acts of violence. As if small blonde children weren’t frightening enough already. Leaving April 10.
A Danish girl: A Royal Affair (2012)
The Swedish Alicia Vikander began her rise to American prominence with this Danish feature about a queen who falls in love with her physician (Hannibal’s Mads Mikkelsen). Filled with sumptuous period costuming, A Royal Affair also manages to focus on the purpose of royalty and the challenges of adapting to a modern world. You’ll learn a lot about the history of Denmark, and then you’ll try to explain it to your friends, probably inaccurately. Leaving April 25.
