Before you start bingeing through Netflix’s new originals, don’t miss out on catching up with some other gems before their rights expire and they head to another service, or just disappear into the digital ether.

This is your last chance to stream the following on Netflix UK:

45 Years – 17th December

A haunting study of relationships and memory.

Dawn of the Dead (2004) – 17th December

Zack Snyder’s debut feature reimagines Romero as a visceral, amped-up apocalypse in the shadow of 9/11.

Escape Room (2019) – 26th December

This fast-paced, puzzle-driven thriller is a fun, fiendishly executed ride.

A Quiet Place Part II – 29th December

Simple terrors and sharp visual storytelling make this moving sci-fi horror sequel as rivetingly tense as the first.

Bridget Jones’s Diary – 31st December

A charming cast and witty script make this romantic comedy a winning tale of a woman turning the page and writing her own story.

Labyrinth (1986) – 31st December

David Bowie and Jim Henson join forces for this cult fantasy classic.

Love Life: Season 1 to 2 – 31st December

If it’s messiness you want, look no further than Love Life, HBO Max’s wonderfully observed romantic comedy, which takes the form of an anthology – each season follows a new protagonist’s romantic entanglements, while each episode introduces another flame that is either kindled or expunged.

No Country for Old Men – 31st December

Brooding, unforgiving and full of portent, No Country for Old Men is a tense noir Western that grips throughout.

The Raid (2011) – 31st December

Gareth Evans’ bone-crunching, jaw-dropping action thriller is brutally entertaining.

The Raid 2 – 31st December

Gareth Evans’ follow-up to his blistering thriller isn’t in the same league, but does apply his uniquely visceral approach to set pieces to that action movie staple: the car chase.

The Truman Show – 31st December

25 years on, The Truman Show is speculative but spot-on in its reality TV satire.

Warrior (2011) – 31st December

This hard-hitting MMA drama starring Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton packs a real punch.

Watchmen (2009) – 31st December

Zack Snyder’s striking and ambitious adaptation of Alan Moore’s graphic novel is an underrated semi-success.

Werewolves Within – 31st December

Josh Ruben’s hilarious werewolf whodunnit shows the divided community of America with real charm.

Hellboy (2004) – 1st January

Guillermo del Toro’s imagination runs wild with this wonderfully weird comic book adaptation.

Drive (2011) – 3rd January

Ryan Gosling is iconic in Nicolas Winding Refn’s cool, compelling genre mixtape.

Bros: After the Screaming Stops – 14th January

A hugely entertaining and surprisingly moving documentary, whether you’ve heard of the band Bros or not.

The Ice King – 17th January

An engaging portrait of a significant sportsman who never set out to be an activist.

The Square (2013) – 17th January

This isn’t just what a revolution looks like – it’s what it feels like.
