  • Heads up, Netflix subscribers–today might be the last day to watch some of the content in your instant stream queue. Netflix is dropping more than 80 instant streaming titles to kick off the start of the New Year. Of the 80-plus titles Netflix is purging, the majority of the content is movies, with a few TV shows sprinkled in.

    Removing (and adding) content is nothing new for Netflix. That said, some users are surprised at the volume and quality of some of the content that Netflix is purging from the instant stream service. Some classic titles that will go away on Netflix’s streaming are Born on the Fourth of July, Braveheart and Platoon. Check out the list of expiring TV shows and movies below.
