As a new month approaches, Netflix users will receive a slew of new content — but that also means saying goodbye to some great films that will be leaving the platform.
Watch With Us combed through the list and selected three of the best movies you must watch before they’re taken off of Netflix on June 1.
‘Pride & Prejudice’ (2005)
“You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love … I love … I love this movie.”
Joe Wright’s beloved adaptation of Jane Austen’s timeless novel recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, and it still holds up. The costumes, the sets and the performances from Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen are all rich and romantic. Most of the dialogue is adapted directly from the novel, yet it feels natural and realistic coming from these gifted actors.
Steamy Period Dramas to Watch After Bingeing ‘Brigderton’
Pride & Prejudice is a sumptuous, swoon-worthy film. Watch it before it’s gone.
‘The Dark Knight’ (2008)
Heath Ledger won a posthumous Oscar for his portrayal of the Joker in this Christopher Nolan film, the second in his acclaimed Batman trilogy. Christian Bale plays the titular Caped Crusader, but it’s Ledger and Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent/Two-Face who really steal the show.
The Dark Knight’s villains explore the darkest depths of the human heart, and despite the dark and gritty tone of the movie, it still leaves the viewers inspired with a message of heroism and good winning out over evil. Don’t miss this magnetic film.
‘Goodfellas’ (1990)
One of the most famous mob movies of all time for good reason, Goodfellas tells the story of the rise and fall of mob associate Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) and his interactions with the Italian-American crime syndicate. Set between the 1950s and 1980s, it provides an unflinching glimpse into the inner workings of organized crime in New York City through Henry’s outsider perspective.

Liotta plays opposite Robert De Niro as seasoned gangster Jimmy Conway and Joe Pesci as the volatile Tommy DeVito. If you’re interested in superb crime storytelling, this movie is essential viewing before it’s taken off Netflix.
