Gone In December
Netflix has so much content, it's impossible to watch it all (trust us...we've tried). But along with all that content, the streamer is also always adding new stuff—and every month, they are removing things as well. These are the movies that will be leaving the service in December of 2024. So, if you'd been planning to watch them, you might wanna do so sooner than later.
Leaving On December 1st: Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
Brilliant performances from Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Ed Harris, and Alan Arkin—and a genius script from David Mamet (based on his Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name)—make this one of the best films of the last 40 years. If you haven't seen it...you need to. If you have, watch it again before Netflix sends it on its way.
New Line Cinema, Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
December 1st: It Chapter Two (2019)
If you haven't seen Chapter One yet, you better get to it quick so you can enjoy Chapter Two before December 1st.
