Netflix adds new movies to its already sizeable library every single month, but at the same time, it also removes some old favorites to make room. It's called "content churn," and it's an unavoidable trend across all the best streaming services.

While the new additions tend to get the spotlight, it's worth taking some time to look over the movies set to leave Netflix as well. After all, in just a few days, these movies will wave goodbye and won't be available to stream anymore (well, not available on stream on Netflix, at least).

I've combed through Netflix's confirmed slate of movies leaving the platform at the end of June 2026 and picked out a trio you should place at the top of your watchlist. Watch these great movies while you still can.

'Deepwater Horizon' (2016)

Watch On

Mark Wahlberg headlines this disaster thriller based on the true story of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion. The movie’s real-life inspiration grounds the on-screen events, helping the emotional beats really hit home. The impressive effects are a highlight, and even if the character work is fairly pedestrian, “Deepwater Horizon” will have you invested quickly.

On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig exploded, instantly killing multiple crew members and leaving the survivors in a dangerous situation as flames engulfed the installation. The movie version of events follows technician Mike Williams (Wahlberg) as he attempts to lead his colleagues to safety while battling against the chaos. Also starring Kurt Russell, John Malkovich, Dylan O'Brien and Kate Hudson, “Deepwater Horizon” may have struggled at the box office, but it’s worth watching before it waves goodbye to Netflix.

Watch "Deepwater Horizon" on Netflix until July 1

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

Watch On

When a reboot/sequel to 1995’s “Jumanji” was announced, I can’t exactly say I had high hopes. So color me (pleasantly) shocked when the end result, “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” proved to be an entertaining popcorn blockbuster. This big-budget follow-up is heaps of fun and does a great job of paying respect to its predecessor, while taking the franchise in a slightly new direction. Plus, it stars The Rock at the peak of his powers.

Set a couple of decades after the first “Jumnaji,” four high schoolers are given detention, where they discover an old video game system and a cartridge bearing the Jumnaji name. Booting up the game, they are sucked into a virtual jungle, becoming their chosen in-game avatars (played by Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Jack Black). To escape the jungle and return to the real world, they’ll need to complete the game before they run out of lives.

My Girl (1991)

Watch On

Anybody who has seen “My Girl” can attest that this coming-of-age comedy is both deeply heartwarming and emotionally devastating. I won’t reveal any spoilers here, but let’s just say it’s one of only a handful of movies that have produced a genuine tear from me. Starring a host of ‘90s favourites including Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis and Macaulay Culkin, it’s a family movie at its heart, but with a sobering edge that makes it an even richer watch.

11-year-old Vada Sultenfuss (Anna Chlumsky) is raised by her widowed father (Aykroyd) after her mother died in childbirth. This tragedy and her father’s work in a funeral parlor have led to Vada becoming something of a hypochondriac. Her world is turned upside down when her father begins dating a new woman, Shelly (Lee Curtis), and along with some help from her best friend, Tommy J. (Culkin), she attempts to break them up.

Watch "My Girl" on Netflix until July 1
