While people still navigate their way through the coronavirus pandemic and work out when it’s safe to go outdoors, Netflix UK’s sizeable library of movies and TV shows remains a handy resource for keeping entertained indoors.

But before you start bingeing through its 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:

Leave No Trace – 28th November

Two superb performances power this moving, thoughtful study of home, family and identity.

Sherlock Holmes (2009) – 30th November

Guy Ritchie’s jaunty take on Sherlock Holmes is fun for the 21st century.

A Royal Affair – 1st December

Alicia Vikander shines in this period royal drama.

Being John Malkovich – 1st December

Charlie Kaufman’s witty exploration of identity is hilariously silly and mind-bendingly thoughtful.

Ghost – 1st December

Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore are on charming form in this classic romantic fantasy.

Going the Distance – 1st December

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long make sparks fly in this natural, funny rom-com.

Intolerable Cruelty – 1st December

Miles, a successful divorce lawyer, feels something is missing from his lifestyle despite his wealth and status. When he uses his skills to ensure that gold-digger Marylin gets nothing in her divorce from his client, she vows revenge, leading to their mutual one-upmanship and increasing attraction.

The Raid 2 – 1st December

The Raid 2 has some great action, but it’s far from the greatest action movie of all time.

Wimbledon (2004) – 1st December

Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst have chemistry to spare in this enjoyably cheesy rom-com set at the prestigious sporting tournament.

Rush – 10th December

Ron Howard’s streamlined story of Formula 1 rivalry delivers a thrilling rush of adrenaline.

A Quiet Place – 13th December

This terrifyingly taut survival thriller is so good you’ll be shouting about it for weeks.

Upstart Crow – 13th December

Whether you’re a fan of the Bard or not, there’s enough in this sitcom to Shakespeare in Like.

The Endless – 14th December

Moorhead and Benson tap into the creepiness of the everyday in this cult horror slice of stunningly ambitious cinema.

The Terminator – 18th December

Arnie is on iconic form in James Cameron’s action sci-fi classic.

Julieta – 19th December

Emma Suarez and Adriana Ugarte deliver powerful performances in Pedro Almodovar’s compelling, emotional mystery.

Skyscraper – 19th December

Dwayne Johnson tries to save this nonsensical blockbuster from its own towering ridiculousness.

Black Death – 20th December

Sean Bean is superb in this horror drama that more than lives up to the darkness of its title.

Birdman – 21st December

Stuffed with stars and surreal beats, Iñárritu’s satirical comedy is self-indulgent, amusing and enjoyably unpredictable.

Gone Girl – 21st December

A gleefully dark satire on marriage, media and the stories that are told in each.

Noah – 21st December

Ambitious, confident and vividly human, Aronofsky’s Noah is a thrilling, shocking, daringly unique piece of cinema.

The Revenant – 21st December

Proof that Leonardo DiCaprio will go to any extreme for an award, Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s intense survival epic set on the fur-trading frontier of the 1820s sees DiCaprio’s trapper chased through the woods, battered by blizzards and mauled by a bear.
