These are best TV shows and movies leaving Netflix in November.

Movies Leaving Netflix In November 2018

Jurassic Park

Yes, I know – you’ve seenJurassic Park. Everyone has. Multiple times. But if you want tostreamSteven Spielberg’s dinosaur extravaganza, your last chance to do so will be this month. You know the story: dinosaurs are cloned and brought back to life at an amusement park, and then they run wild, literally. People die,Jeff Goldblumcracks jokes, andLaura Derneats some ice cream. Through it all, Spielberg proves why he’s the best in the biz, blending dynamic storytelling with visual splendor. The original twoJurassic Parksequels are leaving Netflix as well, but no one is going to miss them.

Paddington

Life can be cold, bleak and depressing, especially here in the hell year that is 2018. But every now and then, a spot of light shines through. ThePaddingtonfilm series is part of that light. Here is a warm, friendly, forgiving movie about beingnice. I know that might sound silly to some, but trust me, it’s not. Even the coldest of cold hearts will be thawed by this film, as a polite bear joins a human family in the U.K. Sure, there’s some stuff in here aboutNicole Kidmanwanting tomurderPaddington, but that’s not enough to rob this movie of it’s feel-good power.

“A movie about ahaunted mirror?! That sure sounds dumb!” – me, when I first heard aboutOculus. My ignorant opinion changed quickly when I finally watchedMike Flanagan’s spookfest, which is way better than any haunted mirror has any right to be. If you enjoyed Flanagan’sHaunting of Hill Houseseries this month on Netflix, you should definitely check outOculus, which employs a similar past-meets-present framing device. Here, two siblings (Karen GillanandBrenton Thwaites) reunite with hopes of destroying the cursed mirror that contributed to the death of their parents. But the mirror isn’t going to just sit back and take it. Things do not go according to plan, thanks to the supernatural powers of that damned mirror. Spooky, clever, and exceedingly well directed,Oculusis worth your time. Watch it before it’s gone!

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

Hellboyis getting a big reboot in 2019, but before that, we hadGuillermo del Toro’s wonderful two films. The firstHellboyhas its flaws, while still maintaining the del Toro spirit. The follow-up,Hellboy II: The Golden Army,gave del Toro a lot more freedom. The result is much better, asRon Perlman’s big red demon has to face off against an evil prince who wants to raise an army of killing machines. Visually stunning, and filled with incredible creature designs,Hellboy IIis superhero movie unlike anything you’ve seen before. It’s a shame del Toro didn’t get to finish out his trilogy. And it’s a shame this film is leaving Netflix next month.

Up in the Air

Jason Reitmanhas had a rough few years, with a string of mostly disappointing films. But when he first started off as a filmmaker, he delivered some memorable titles, likeUp in the Air. This comedy-drama starsGeorge Clooneyas a corporate downsizer, flying from office to office to tell people they’ve been fired. Tagging along with him isAnna Kendrick, who doesn’t seem to realize how difficult the job is. It’s a simple set-up, but it yields great character-driven results. Clooney is likable, in a smug sort of way, and Kendrick makes for a plucky co-star.Vera Farmigais also wonderful as a woman Clooney’s character falls for.Up in the Airisn’t flashy, or full of big moments. It’s a quiet movie – the type I wish Reitman would go back to.Leaving November 1
