Movie and TV Shows to Binge Watch Before they Leave Netflix in Feb 2016!

Every month movies and TV shows leave Netflix as their contracts expire. It’s one of the reasons Streaming is no replacement for having a hardcopy (DVD or Blu-Ray) of a movie or TV series you love, and want to have readily available.

So disappearing content is an unavoidable reality of Streaming. However this month is an especially impactful month for Netflix in terms of what is going away.

Among the notables are:

• 18 Classic seasons of Doctor Who are leaving.
• All 8 seasons of the modern Doctor Who are leaving. So last chance to enjoy the best of 50 years of Doctor Who.
• You’re losing 4 seasons of the great JUSTICE LEAGUE animated series, helmed by the late, great Dwayne McDuffie.
• YOUNG JUSTICE Season 1 of the Animated Series, One of the best Animated Shows since JUSTICE LEAGUE is departing

So that, is a bit chunk of quality programming leaving, so view it while you can.

 

Or do what I did and purchase the seasons worth having:

Doctor Who: Season 8 [Blu-ray]

Doctor Who – Season 3 [Blu-ray]

Doctor Who – Season 4 [Blu-ray]

Doctor Who: Genesis of the Daleks (Story 78)

Doctor Who: Complete Series 9 [Blu-ray]

Young Justice: The Complete First Season [Blu-ray]

Justice League Unlimited: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]

What’s Leaving NETFLIX this December that you should watch or purchase before it’s gone!

UNA NOCHE – A lushly photographed look at young Cuba prior to the return of Capitalism. While many extol the economic virtues of Capitalism’s return, including one of the protagonists of this film seeking to escape Cuba for Miami, I think this film shows you (as background, not main story)the fragile multicultural stew and unity that Cuba has managed, and that will arguably be lost when Capitalism/Colonialism returns.

Shorn of the 60 year old blockade, Cuba will be able to get new cars, and new technology, and new infrastructure, but that comes at a very steep, and very historic price. It comes at the price of also accepting America’s and Capitalism preferred vices, of rule by division, and stratification based on color, and loss of cultural and local and familial touchstones and interdependence.

Cuba of the coming dawn, is poised to trade its minor corruption of getting a radio or tv, for the big time corruption of gentrification and rule by corporations. This debut film by Lucy Mulloy is a wonderful slice of Cuban Neo-Realism, and in its way as interesting as its Italian neo-realist forbears, such as the brilliant ROCCO AND HIS BROTHERS.
