Netflix Titles Leaving In December 2017: Best Movies, TV Shows Disappearing

It’s that time again. Netflix will do their monthly cleansing as they add new titles in December. Several popular movies and TV shows will leave the streaming platform, and you might want to catch these before they leave Netflix for good.

“All I Want For Christmas” (Dec. 1) It’s the beginning of Hallmark Christmas movie season, but this classic is leaving Netflix. Jesse (Jimmy Jax Pinchak), a 10-year-old, enters a national contest with a video called “All I Want For Chistmas is a Husband For My Mom.” His mom Sara (Gail O’Grady) is thrust into the spotlight and accepts a marriage proposal from a wealthy man—but she might not be in love just yet.

“Super Size Me” (Dec. 1) Morgan Spurlock’s Academy Award nominated documentary follows him as he eats McDonald’s fast food for an entire month. If the cashier offers to “super size” the order, he must get the larger size.

“Young Frankenstein” (Dec. 1) The 1974 classic is leaving Netflix in December. The late Gene Wilder stars as Dr. Frankenstein, who starts trying to recreate his grandfather’s experiments. The arrival of his fiancée (Madeline Kahn) and the creation of his own monster (Peter Boyle) make things a bit complicated. Mel Brooks directed the movie.

“Holes” (Dec. 2) Based on the Louis Sachar novel, this 2003 film follows Stanley (Shia LeBeouf), who is falsely convicted of stealing a pair of shoes. He is sent to Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention camp, where he must dig holes for a vicious warden (Sigourney Weaver). However, it wasn’t just a bit of bad luck that brought Stanley here — it was a curse.

“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” Seasons 1-11 (Dec. 9) This long running FXX comedy will disappear from Netflix in December. The show follows a group of friends who own a pub together, but they always find themselves in uncomfortable situations.

“Dance Academy” Seasons 1-3 (Dec. 19) This Australian teen series is beloved and gained popularity in the U.S. through its release on Netflix. It follows high school students at the National Dance Academy of Sydney as they create friendships, go through romances and grow up while training for their dance careers.

“Pirate of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” (Dec. 25) It’s the film that introduced audiences to characters like Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swan (Keira Knightley) and Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). Nothing beats the original, so be sure to watch before it disappears from Netflix on Christmas Day.
