The movies leaving Netflix this month
The start of a new year provides the perfect chance to make some big lifestyle changes. That could include mixing up your diet, committing to more exercise, or spending more quality time with friends and family. But if those personal goals seem a bit daunting, especially during one of the coldest months of the year, we don't blame you for wanting to curl up on the couch and resolving to stream more Netflix instead.
After all, now's the ideal time for that easily attainable resolution: a handful of fresh films are joining Netflix's streaming library, but many are also saying goodbye. There are quite a few reasons a movie might leave Netflix; the film's popularity may not justify the cost for Netflix to license it, or perhaps the rights are no longer available. To help you plan your January viewing schedule, Stacker has compiled a list of all 22 movies leaving Netflix in January 2025, which includes recent horror titles, some action comedies, and even a music documentary.
If you're a horror fan, you have a diverse group of spooky films to choose from. For example, you'll have until Jan. 25 to catch "The Babadook" and "The Rental," a couple of sinister, haunted-house offerings that will make your skin crawl with paranoia.
For those looking for the quintessential combination of action and laughs, try rip-roaring "21 Jump Street" and "22 Jump Street," which depart Netflix on Jan. 31. The pair of films star Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill as a couple of rookie cops who go undercover as high school and college students, respectively, to catch the suppliers of some new drugs.
There are plenty more hijinks leaving Netflix at the end of the month, too. Take your pick from "Project X," about a high school house party gone wrong, or "White Chicks," which features two Black FBI agents who go undercover as white women. Then there's "We're the Millers," a crude fake-family comedy starring Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston that signs off on Jan. 31, too.
Netflix also has music lovers covered with a documentary about Whitney Houston, one of the best vocalists of all time. "Whitney," directed by Kevin Macdonald, chronicles the icon's life, music, and struggles that led to her untimely death at the age of 48 in 2012. Fans of "The Voice," as she was known, have until the last day of January to catch the film on Netflix.
There are many more favorites that only have a few more days left on Netflix. Check out the full list of every movie leaving Netflix in January 2025, including supplementary insights from IMDb on each movie's director, cast, and runtime. It's time to get started on your streaming resolution!
