While I'm ranting about Netflix, a few weeks back, I was scrolling around on the streaming site only to discover "Bridget Jones's Baby" was now on Netflix – an odd thing to be surprised by since I write an article every month about exactly that topic: the movies the company is getting and dropping.
At least that was a pleasure surprise though – not like the time I discovered while perusing through Netflix to watch 2014's terrific thriller "The Guest" (added to the site in July two years ago) only to discover the movie was no longer available. Was this on Netflix's monthly report? Nope! It's hard to argue that Netflix isn't killing movies when sometimes, out of nowhere and without warning, it kills a movie off its site. Or, in the case of last year's indie gem "Sing Street," it's added to the site without the kind of helpful buzz these kinds of articles could generate.
So, in short, if a movie you love disappears off Netflix without it popping up on lists like the one below, don't blame me or any of the other writers posting these lists. Blame Netflix. Be like Hollywood, and blame Netflix for all your problems – like scrolling through the streaming site and suddenly bring dragged into having to watch a years-too-late Renee Zellweger rom-com that you didn't expect to see there in the first place.
Or problems like not being able to watch "This Is Spinal Tap," "The Blair Witch Project," "D2: The Mighty Ducks" or any of the other titles listed below, since they're all bailing from Netflix next month. Get on them now while you can!

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.
