Movies are constantly coming and going on the best streaming services. Every month brings new arrivals and ushers out other titles. February 2023 is your last chance to stream several great movies on Netflix, HBO Max and Hulu.
We’re not sure if any of these departures will push you to cancel Netflix or cancel HBO Max (both are high up in our ranking of the best streaming services) but their absence will surely be frustrating to some.
These titles may return, or get picked up by another streamer, but you never know. Put your subscription to work and watch (or rewatch) these five departing movies, including a blockbuster romance, a cult classic comedy and a war-time drama.
Here’s what to watch before they leave Netflix, HBO Max and Hulu in February 2023.
Best movie leaving Netflix
Sorry to Bother You (2018)
Sorry to Bother You has an intriguing premise: Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) works as a telemarketer for a company called RegalView, but can’t make any sales. That all changes when he discovers that he can use a “white voice” (David Cross, hilariously) to engender trust in his middle-class customers.
But as the movie progresses, it turns out that RegalView is in bed with some very, very weird companies. From there, Green enters a world of drugs, genetic engineering and voluntary-ish indentured servitude, and even the best-laid plans to get the world back to normal might not go far enough. – Kelly Woo

Best movies leaving HBO Max
Atonement (2007)
Based on Ian McEwan’s novel, the romantic war drama features powerhouse performances by the three young, main stars. Atonement cemented Keira Knightley as a star, launched James McAvoy as a leading man and netted Saoirse Ronan the first of four Oscar nominations.
Like the book, the movie explores a number of themes: coming of age, class, privilege, perspective, guilt, jealously, forgiveness and regret. It tracks the devastating fallout from a wealthy girl’s mistaken accusation against the housekeeper’s son. Years later, World War II changes all of their lives. Make sure to pay particular attention to the stunning five-minute tracking shot of the Dunkirk evacuation. – KW

Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
Michelle Yeoh is deservedly enjoying some time in the spotlight, as an Oscar nomination adds to all the accolades she and her film Everything Everywhere All at Once have received over the past year. She’s had a long, varied career that has seen her hop from martial arts action (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) to sci-fi TV (Star Trek: Discovery) to comedies like Crazy Rich Asians.
Yeoh is perfect as the icy matriarch who looks down on Rachel (Constance Wu), the American girlfriend of her son Nick (Henry Golding). Nick’s family is very wealthy, which shocks Rachel when they travel to Singapore for a wedding. Their relationship is put to the test by their class differences and his mother’s disapproval. – KW

The Dark Knight (2008)
The gritty superhero movie trend happened for a reason, and that reason is Heath Ledger’s amazing performance as The Joker. While the first chapter of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy is underrated (and also leaving this same day, along with the questionable The Dark Knight Rises), Ledger’s Joker redefined Batman’s nemesis. While Mark Hamill and Jack Nicholson had owned the character previously, Ledger set a standard that has yet to be topped.
But The Dark Knight isn’t just about Ledger. Highlights include that impressive opening that’s an homage to the film Heat, a series of twisted puzzles and set pieces and an actually-good version of Two-Face (Aaron Eckhart). It all adds up to makingThe Dark Knight is a supremely rewatchable movie.
Oddly enough, The Dark Knight is not only leaving HBO Max this month, but it’s also leaving Hulu as well. – Henry T. Casey

Magic Mike XXL (2015)
If you thought the original Magic Mike was too somber and thoughtful of a film, then you need to see Magic Mike XXL. This sequel thrives since it doesn’t need to set anything up. All it needs to do is embrace the female gaze and the ridiculousness of a troupe of traveling male strippers. Which it does.
An excellent story of friendship that’s full of charm and saucy numbers, Magic Mike thrives off the chemistry of Mike (Channing Tatum), Ken (Matt Bomer), Richie (Joe Manganiello), Tarzan (Kevin Nash) and the rest of the cast. – HTC

Best movies leaving Hulu
Fruitvale Station (2013)
Fruitvale Station is a seminal film in modern Black cinema. And it’s not not just because of star Michael B. Jordan, whose career truly took off with his portrayal of Oscar Grant. Jordan’s portrayal of Grant, one of the many Black men whose story is filled with tragedy because of systemic racial injustice, earned him a ton of well-deserved attention and applause.
Fruitvale Station is also the directorial debut for Ryan Coogler (Creed, Black Panther). Coogler and Jordan team up to tell Grant’s tragic story with respect and care, showing how the man worked to live on the up-and-up after serving time in San Quentin. Doing his best to support his girlfriend and young daughter, Oscar is pulled into an altercation with the police, one that’s all-too-familiar for many. – KW

Office Space (1999)
Mike Judge’s workplace satire came and went at the box office with hardly a peep, but in the years since, it’s become a cult favorite and meme factory. There’s not much to the plot — Peter (Ron Livingston) and his co-workers at a software company combat the drudgery and boredom of their jobs.
Office Space is a sharp, witty, incisive portrait that will feel all-too-familiar to many workers who deal with micromanaging bosses, mindless paperwork like the film’s TPS reports and the constant fear of layoffs. There are so many Peters out there, whose few highlights of the day include flirting with a local waitress and dreaming of getting revenge on the powers that be. – KW
