The movies leaving Netflix this month

Throughout May, high school and college students across the country are finishing their final exams, donning their commencement robes, and shaking and taking their degrees to start the next chapter of their lives. But they aren't the only ones closing a door—in May 2025, 46 movies are tossing their streaming caps and graduating from Netflix, just without the same pomp and circumstance. 

There are quite a few reasons a movie can get dropped from a streamer like Netflix; perhaps the film's rights are no longer available, or its popularity doesn't justify the cost of licensing. The motivation may vary, and though most of Netflix's May 2025 movie casualties already met their fate on the first of the month, there's still time to catch some of the departing films. 

As the summer 2025 blockbuster season starts to accelerate, it's the perfect time for an action-packed mini-marathon. Why don't you start with 2008's "Rambo," which stars Sylvester Stallone as the former Green Beret who gets called back into duty to save a bunch of missionaries from the Burmese Army? Then follow it up with Rambo's final adventure, 2019's "Rambo: Last Blood," which sees him take vengeance against a Mexican cartel targeting his family. Both titles leave Netflix on May 10. 

Looking for a mischievous mystery instead? There are a couple of weeks left to enjoy the 2018 dark comedy "A Simple Favor," starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick. The film centers on a Connecticut mom vlogger (Kendrick) who discovers her wealthy and glamorous friend (Lively) has gone missing, prompting her to investigate her disappearance. The movie's sequel, "Another Simple Favor," just dropped on Prime Video on May 1, 2025, so now's the perfect time to watch its predecessor before it vanishes from Netflix without a trace on May 19.

There are many more fan favorites whose days are numbered on Netflix.
