The best movies leaving Netflix, Prime Video, and Criterion Channel at the end of January 2025
Briefly

As January ends, notable films are set to leave streaming services. Among these are Phantom of the Paradise, a rock horror-comedy highlighting themes such as betrayal and the commercialization of art, and Kathryn Bigelow's 2012 film about the pursuit of Osama bin Laden, showcasing a compelling female protagonist. This month presents a unique opportunity to catch some lesser-known gems as well as critically acclaimed works before they're removed from platforms like Netflix and Prime Video.
"Phantom of the Paradise encapsulates the definition of a cult film, blending rock horror-comedy with themes of betrayal, revenge, and the commodification of art."
"Kathryn Bigelow’s 2012 thriller about the hunt for Osama bin Laden is paced like a war movie, focusing on a singularly determined woman, Maya."
