Last Chance: 7 Must-See Movies and Shows Leaving Netflix the First Week of August

If your queue’s been sitting on a few classics, now’s the moment to hit play. A handful of big-name films and series rotate off Netflix this week, from Tobey Maguire’s original Spider- Man run to anime staple Hunter x Hunter (2011), plus a comfort-watch cult favorite set in a Tokyo night café.

All seven leave Netflix on August 1.

Leaving August 1

• Midnight Diner — After dark in Tokyo’s Shinjuku, a tiny 12-seat eatery opens from midnight to 7 a.m., where the soft-spoken “Master” cooks whatever a patron requests from whatever ingredients he has. Each episode hangs on one Japanese dish and the story of the person ordering it —salarymen, night-shift workers, gangsters, and artists finding quiet comfort in a bowl of something warm.
• The Age of Adaline — After a near-fatal accident at 29, Adaline stops aging and spends eight decades on the move, changing identities and keeping her heart guarded. Things shift when she falls for a modern-day philanthropist—and meets his father, a man from her past—against a backdrop that moves between old-world flashbacks and contemporary San Francisco. Blake Lively carries the film ’s quiet ache; Harrison Ford anchors a powerful second act.
• Atonement — In 1930s England and into World War II, a young girl’s false accusation shatters the lives of Cecilia and Robbie. The film’s unspoken longing is etched into indelible images—the emerald-green dress, a hand skimming a fountain, the sweeping chaos of Dunkirk—driven by Keira Knightley and James McAvoy at full force and capped by a gut-punch twist.
• Hunter x Hunter (2011) — Gon Freecss sets out to pass the brutal Hunter Exam after learning his absent dad is a legendary “Hunter,” and bonds with a vengeful survivor, a would-be doctor, and an ex-assassin. The show evolves from island adventures to futuristic cities and lawless zones, trading simple brawls for intricate power systems and psychological chess matches as its six arcs grow darker and more morally tangled.
• Pretty Woman — Corporate raider Edward hires Hollywood escort Vivian for a week of society events, and a purely transactional deal flips into a modern Cinderella romance. Julia Roberts’ star-making charm, a Rodeo Drive shopping blitz for the ages, and the L.A.-to–Beverly Hills glow have kept this 1990 juggernaut on countless comfort-rotation lists.
• Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man Trilogy — The blueprint for today’s superhero boom: Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker wrestles with power and responsibility while facing Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock, then the alien symbiote that brings out his worst impulses in a showdown that strains everything with MJ and Harry Osborn.
• Labyrinth — After teen Sarah wishes her baby stepbrother away, the Goblin King (a mesmerizing David Bowie) gives her a 13-hour deadline to solve a treacherous maze. Jim Henson’s handmade puppetry, practical illusions, and a hummable soundtrack power a coming-of-age quest about fairness, responsibility, and growing up—no heavy CGI required.

All seven titles exit the U.S. catalog on August 1.
