Every Movie Leaving Netflix in July 2025

Summer is in full swing, and if you’re not feeling up to going to the beach or braving the heat, there are thankfully plenty of things to do indoors, like watching movies. If you’ve somehow exhausted all possibilities on your streaming services, there are several great new choices next month, but that also means that several beloved titles will leave the Netflix library. As such, we’re giving one final hurrah to the best films leaving Netflix in July 2025.

‘Do the Right Thing’

Leaving July 1

Over 25 years since its release, Spike Lee’s seminal masterpiece Do the Right Thing feels as powerful and depressingly relevant as ever. Set entirely over a single summer day in Brooklyn, the film depicts gradually escalating tensions between a neighborhood’s African-American community and the Italian-American owners of a pizza shop. Tragedy eventually strikes, leading to a harrowing finale in which violence erupts.

Lee’s stroke of genius is that he never preaches to his audience, and he’s not afraid to force the viewer to reckon with difficult questions. Especially in a time when racial tensions only seem to be escalating, it would be foolhardy to give easy answers, and Do the Right Thing is all the more masterful for it. While Driving Miss Daisy, a more palatable picture, walked away with the Best Picture Oscar that year, there’s no question which film almost everyone still remembers, and Netflix viewers have until July 1 to watch it.

‘Dune: Part Two’

Leaving July 1

For all Netflix subscribers hoping to bear witness to Lisan al-Gaib, your deadline is fast approaching. Even over a year after its release, it’s still shocking how masterful Dune: Part Two was, exceeding our already astronomical expectations. Continuing almost immediately where its predecessor left off, Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic continues the journey of Paul Atreides as he plots revenge against House Harkonnen, ingratiates himself with the Fremen, and tries to reconcile his love for Chani with his supposed destiny as the Kwisatz Haderach.

‘Dune: Messiah’ Gets a Sandy Update as Sci-Fi Sequel Casts Two Major Characters

The Children of Dune have been cast in the next ‘Dune’ sequel, tentatively titled ‘Messiah.’

The scale and ambition displayed in Dune: Part Two still puts almost all other contemporary blockbusters to shame, and in a time of flux for mainstream Hollywood, it’s a welcome reminder that our breath can still be taken away on occasion. However, it’s also a darker, richer film than its predecessor in deconstructing the “chosen one” narrative, illustrating how power corrupts and culminating in a devastating yet not unfair tragedy. Your last chance to experience Arrakis on Netflix is July 1.

The ‘Twilight’ Saga

Leaving July 1

Over a decade after the series wrapped, it’s frankly bizarre to reflect on how massively popular the Twilight saga was at its peak, and how inescapable the backlash to it was. In hindsight, we were probably all too hard on it; while we can’t reasonably call the films “good,” people got too moralistic about the subtextual themes, when the series’ appeal was always as a purely pulpy romance. Considering how boys are allowed to enjoy similarly pulpy franchises like Fast & Furious, we can’t reasonably say there’s no place for Twilight. Besides, even if unintentionally so, they’re a laugh riot and a blast to watch, especially with a group.

Everyone knows the setup by now: awkward teenage girl Bella Swan falls in love with the hottest man in her class, Edward Cullen, only to learn that he’s a vampire. As she becomes increasingly smitten with him, she’s drawn into a world of danger, finding herself a target of other vampires and specifically the Volturi, a society determined to keep their existence secret from humans. As mentioned, the films aren’t high art by any means, but they’re undeniably entertaining and will please franchise diehards and lovers of so-bad-it’s-good cinema alike. But hurry up, because the entire series leaves Netflix on July 1.

‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’

Leaving July 16

Trying to top one of the greatest action films of all time, in hindsight, was a fool’s errand. But what made Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga stand out was how adamantly mastermind George Miller refused to try to match the maximalist heights of Fury Road, and made his long-awaited prequel feel like a unique and standalone work. While its predecessor was a manic, high-wire chase movie, Furiosa is more of a slow-burn revenge epic reminiscent of Ben-Hur.

50 Best New Movies on Streaming to Watch Right Now

From Netflix to Max, here are 50 unique and new movies to watch on streaming right now on every major platform.

As the title promises, the picture follows a younger Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy, channeling Charlize Theron’s intensity to an uncanny degree) as she seeks vengeance against the man who kidnapped her, Dementus (a deliciously against-type Chris Hemsworth). While it may not be the franchise at its peak, Furiosa nonetheless stands as a perfect example of a prequel done right, one that makes Fury Road even better, and it departs Netflix on July 16.
