This Memorial Day Weekend will be the last time to watch movies and films that will soon be leaving the Netflix library on June 1. The online streaming platform will add tons of great content (e.g. TK) but will also remove a whole slew of films and shows. Below are five things to binge-watch before they’re gone.
Bridget Jones’s Diary: This cult-favorite chick flick features Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones and stars Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. The story chronicles a woman trying to regain control of all aspects of her life by writing in her diary. The third installment of the series comes out later this year, so fans should watch the classic while they can.
Sophie’s Choice: If you’re in the mood for a tear-jerker this is the way to go. The drama is set in 1940s Brooklyn focusing on Sophie (Meryl Streep), a Holocaust survivor who is in a relationship with a troubled man and becomes friends with a young writer. Through a series of flashbacks, the film reveals, piece by piece, what Sophie has endured.
About A Boy: This 2002 comedy features Hugh Grant as an irresponsible adult that pretends to have a son to attend single parent meetings to meet women. In the process, he becomes friends with a 12-year-old boy and the two manage to help each other in their respective lives.
Groundhog Day: Fan of fantasy films and groundhogs? The film stars Bill Murray as a weatherman who has to cover Groundhog’s Day. After getting stuck in a blizzard, he gets stuck in a time warp that makes him re-live the day over and over.
The Bank Job: If an action flick is what you’re in the mood for, then this Jason Statham flick has it all: action, a bank robbery, a reformed criminal and a band of misfits.
