Netflix’s seemingly never-ending variety of movies and shows is what makes it the best streaming service, and though it’s frustrating to see your favorites leave the platform, it can be somewhat of a relief to say goodbye to poorly-rated titles. As for everything leaving Netflix in October 2024, this is the case.
This month we’ll bid farewell to the Expendables, Magic Mike, and Chucky movie franchises in hopes that they will make space for better titles that are new to Netflix in October 2024. Instead, there are three movies with over 89% on Rotten Tomatoes leaving on October 31, which we’d rather spend our time catching before their untimely departures.
Thankfully, our roundup of best Netflix movies remains untouched, so there’s no need to fret on that front. But I suggest you catch these movies as soon as you can, as we all know how fast the month can fly by.

With movies like La La Land and Whiplash (2014) under his belt, Damien Chazelle has proved that not only can he direct but he can put together a damn good soundtrack. Aspiring to make it big in show biz, Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) and Mia (Emma Stone) bond over their shared ambitions and admiration for entertainment which sparks a romance. As the two grow closer to achieving their long-desired success, they are faced with tough decisions that could tarnish their relationship. I don’t believe you for a second if you say that you didn’t cry when watching the final scene – it ruined me.
