Diamonds are forever ... but Bond movies on Netflix are most certainly not. The Big Red Streaming Behemoth today received its license to kill off a bunch of movies and TV shows in April – and Bond is next on its hit list, with "Casino Royale," "Goldfinger," "The Spy Who Loved Me" and eight other 007 adventures biting the bullet.
Unfortunately, Netflix isn't done there with big-name blockbusters bailing off the streaming service. The Adam Sandler '90s double whammy of "Billy Madison" and "Happy Gilmore" will both go to their home at the start of the month, joined by the more R-rated, sex-obsessed shenanigans of "American Pie." And speaking of the '90s, if you're a well-reviewed movie from that decade and you're currently on Netflix, well, you probably aren't after April, as "Heat," "L.A. Confidential" and "Seven" (or "Se7en" if you're nasty) will all get the boot on April Fools' Day.
The good news is that you'll likely be able to find all of these movies streaming elsewhere. The bad news is that you'll probably need to get another service to do so, whether it's Hulu, Amazon, Disney+, Apple's future streaming network, Warner's future streaming network or whoever else is getting into the business. Get pumped for the future!

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
