There is less than one week before Netflix removes a crop of films from the service. Some of the marquee films leaving by February 1 include La La Land, Damien Chazelle’s musical romance starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone; 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, Michael Bay’s action thriller about an infamous attack in Libya; and Call Me by Your Name, Luca Guadagnino’s coming-of-age story that kick-started Timothée Chalamet’s rise to stardom.

January 31 is the last day to watch these select movies. Below, you’ll find three more films leaving Netflix at the end of January 2024. Our picks include a romantic drama with an A-list actress, an animated film that started a franchise, and a 1990s thriller starring one of Hollywood’s greatest action stars.

Eat Pray Love (2010)

Eat Pray Love is the definition of a vibes movie. The audience gets to spend 133 minutes with Julia Roberts as she travels to beautiful locations and experiences the culture firsthand. While Eat Pray Love is a vibes movie, there is a plot. It revolves around Roberts’ Liz Gilbert, a woman suffering from a midlife crisis.

With a seemingly perfect life, Liz divorces her husband (Billy Crudup), engages in an affair with a young actor (James Franco), and sets off on a globe-trotting mission of self-discovery. Liz samples delicious cuisine in Italy, learns about the power of prayer in India, and gains another shot at love in Bali. It doesn’t get much better than hanging out with the legendary rom-com queen in exotic locations.

How to Train Your Dragon (2010)

It’s remarkable how far How to Train Your Dragon, one of the best kids movies on Netflix, has come since 2010. The film’s success spawned a billion-dollar franchise, with two sequels and one live-action film set for 2025. Relive the magic of the first film before it leaves Netflix. In the village of Berk, a young Viking named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) wishes to join his father, Stoik the Vast (Gerard Butler), in the town’s fight against dragons.

Though he’s deemed too small and weak to fight, Hiccup manages to shoot down the dragon Night Fury, but elects to keep it alive. Hiccup later ventures into the forest and finds Night Fury unable to fly because of his injuries. Instead of killing it, Hiccup befriends Night Fury and nicknames it Toothless. However, their newfound friendship does not sit well with the villagers, forcing Hiccup to protect Toothless and convince his people that dragons don’t have to be the enemy.

In the Line of Fire (1993)

Considering Clint Eastwood (The Mule) is still directing films at the age of 93, the fact he starred in In the Line of Fire 30 years ago is an unfathomable accomplishment. Directed by Wolfgang Petersen, In the Line of Fire stars Eastwood as the cynical Frank Horrigan, a former Secret Service Agent who failed to protect President John F. Kennedy on the day of his assassination. This stain on Frank’s career has tormented him for decades.

However, Frank receives a shot at redemption when he learns about a future assassination attempt against the current president by a mystery man named Booth (John Malkovich), who taunts Frank over the phone about his career mistakes. Frank is then assigned to the current president. Determined to save the president, Frank sets off on a manhunt and goes toe-to-toe with Booth in this invigorating 1990s action thriller.

This underrated 2019 action movie is a big hit on Netflix now. Here’s why you need to watch it
Sasha Luss in Anna.

If it seems like there's an unexpected champion on top of the list of Netflix's most popular movies every week, that's because there often is. There's always at least one film that comes out of nowhere and blows away the competition from both the major studios and Netflix itself. This week, that movie is Anna, a 2019 action thriller from writer/director Luc Besson that bombed during its initial run in theaters. But when has that ever stopped Netflix users from embracing a flick?

One of the big reasons why Anna failed to connect with audiences the first time is that Lionsgate dropped Anna in theaters with little fanfare, so it wasn't surprising when people simply didn't show up to see it. Now that the film is enjoying a surge of popularity, it's time to go over the four reasons why you should watch Anna on Netflix.

Thrillers come in all shapes and sizes. There's the psychological or serial killer thriller, which was popularized in the '90s by The Silence of the Lambs and Se7en. There's the erotic thriller, which had its heyday in the late '80s and early '90s with such hits as Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct. And then there's the action thriller, which is probably the most popular offshoot of the genre right now, with the Taken series and Salt as prime examples.

Recently, there's been a revival of a subgenre that's been dormant since the 1970s: the journalism thriller. From Nightcrawler with Jake Gyllenhaal to the Oscar-winning Spotlight to 2022's She Said, this type of thriller usually centers around journalists pursuing a controversial and sometimes dangerous story. One of the best journalism thrillers has just been released by Netflix: Scoop. In chronicling how the BBC managed to snag the scoop of the decade by interviewing Prince Andrew about his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the movie manages to be suspenseful, informative, and one of 2024's most purely entertaining films.
