Netflix is doing its spring cleaning, and that means a handful of must-see classics, thrillers, and guilty pleasures are on their way out.
If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to rewatch GoodFellas or finally hit play on Burlesque (yes, we’re looking at you, Cher stans), now is your last chance as these titles leave the platform starting June 1, 2025.
What’s on Netflix confirms this wave of exits is due to Netflix’s licensing deals expiring with major studios like Sony, Warner Bros, and Universal. And yes, even some Netflix Originals aren’t safe.
So if your queue is full but your time is short, we’ve done the heavy lifting. Here are seven movies you absolutely should prioritize before they vanish from Netflix…and one bonus pick we couldn’t resist!
Grab your popcorn and make a plan, because once these are gone, they may not be back anytime soon.
Top movies leaving Netflix in June 2025
GoodFellas (1990)
Martin Scorsese‘s GoodFellas is the gangster epic that changed the genre. With a star-studded cast (Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, and Joe Pesci), this crime story has style, grit, and one-liners to die for. Pesci’s Oscar-winning turn as Tommy still gives us chills.
Watch GoodFellas on Netflix here.
Pride & Prejudice (2005)
For Austen purists: Joe Wright’s Pride & Prejudice is a still stunning and resonant adaptation that stuns nearly two decades later. Keira Knightley’s Lizzie is fierce and flawed, and that rain-soaked “I love you” scene? Iconic.

The Dark Knight trilogy (2005–2012)
Yes, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises are all vamoosing. Christopher Nolan‘s dark reimagining of the Caped Crusader fed us Heath Ledger’s iconic Joker and established the gold standard for superhero storytelling. Don’t snooze on the trilogy that brought Gotham to life!

Burlesque (2010)
Campy, glittering, and full of vocal runs that could tear the roof off, Burlesque is a Vegas fever dream. Cher and Christina Aguilera go full glam in this cult fave. It’s one of those rare “so bad it’s good” movies that doubles as a serotonin booster.

Ma (2019)
Octavia Spencer goes full psycho in Ma, a Blumhouse thriller that’s equal parts weird and wild. It’s the kind of horror movie that knows exactly how over-the-top it is. And leans all the way in. Watch it with friends for chaotic energy!
Watch Ma on Netflix here.
Ted & Ted 2 (2012, 2015)
Before the Deadpool era of raunchy comedies, Ted broke the mold with a foul-mouthed stuffed bear and a surprisingly heartfelt bromance.
Seth MacFarlane’s absurd humor isn’t for everyone. But if it’s for you, double feature this before it’s gone.
Watch Ted on Netflix here and Ted 2 here.
Closer (2004)
This emotional gut-punch starring Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, Jude Law, and Clive Owen is a raw meditation on love, betrayal, and all the messy stuff in between. If you love your romances complicated and cynical, Closer delivers.

Bonus pick: Den of Thieves (2018)
Think Heat, but with Gerard Butler as the morally grey anti-hero chasing down a crew of high-stakes bank robbers. Surprisingly stylish, slickly edited, and full of shootouts that’ll keep your pulse up. Don’t miss this underrated action movie.
