Netflix to Remove 33 Movies In One Week – Here Are 3 to Watch Before They Leave

The TV Answer Man = Follow me on X.
Netflix plans to remove 33 movies from its streaming lineup on May 1, 2025. Here are the three to watch before they leave, in my humble opinion:
Whiplash (2014)
Damien Chazelle’s brilliant direction (his debut) and the exceptional performances by Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons make Whiplash one of the best films of the century to date. Teller plays a young drummer who will sacrifice anything (including relationships, personal health and mental well being) to succeed while Simmons is a ruthless (and cruel) music teacher who lives to mold talent into greatness regardless of the consequences. Whiplash is an amazing exploration of what it takes to reach the top. Great film!
Schindler’s List (1993)
Director Steven Spielberg’s poignant Holocaust drama tells the true story of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who saves the lives of more than a thousand Jewish refugees. It is a haunting and powerful testament to the triumph of humanity and arguably Spielberg’s best film ever.
Apollo 13 (1995)
Director Ron Howard’s harrowing account of the Apollo 13 space mission that nearly costs the lives of the three astronauts on board. Tom Hanks is pitch perfect as the ship’s commander, Jim Lovell, but Kevin Bacon and Bill Paxton are equally as good as the other two crew members. You may know the story of Apollo 13, but Howard and company do such a great job with the retelling that you will be on the edge of your seat until the very end.
