Streaming giveth and it taketh away. Every month, new movies arrive on the best streaming services and other titles leave. April 2023 is your last chance to watch some great movies on Netflix, HBO Max and Hulu.
These titles may return eventually, or get picked up by another streamer, but you never know. These departures might not make you want to cancel Netflix or cancel HBO Max, their absence will surely be frustrating to some. Then, again, there's always so much new on Netflix that a new shiny thing might catch your attention.
While you still can, put your subscription to work and watch (or rewatch) these seven departing movies, including a period war epic, a romantic musical and a prison drama.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010)
Sometimes, dating someone can feel as if you're dating their past, as we're all a little defined by the emotional baggage collected over the years. Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs The World (an adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's graphic novels) takes this to the illogical extreme of forcing the titular Mr. Pilgrim (Michael Cera) to defeat 7 of his prospective girlfriend Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)' exes … in video-game style combat.
A gloriously absurd movie, with a stacked cast featuring everyone from the future Captain America and Ms. Marvel (Chris Evans and Brie Larson) to some of the best actors from your favorite shows (Aubrey Plaza and Kieran Culkin), Scott Pilgrim is ultimately rewatchable. Just make sure you realize that Scott's not really a great guy — but someone who's only now ready to possibly learn from his own mistakes. - Henry T. Casey

Master and Commander: Far Side of the World (2003)
A Dad Movie if there ever was one, Master and Commander: Far Side of the World draws from the Patrick O'Brian's novels about the naval adventures of Captain Jack Aubrey of HMS Surprise. Crowe stars as the good captain, who leads the crew in chasing after a French privateer. Alongside him is the ship's surgeon, Stephen Maturin (Paul Bettany), who wishes for nothing more than to study the wildlife on the Galápagos Islands. When an accident occurs on board, Aubrey is forced to put aside his quest to pursue the Acheron. Yet, a stroke of luck brings back the possibility of glory. - Kelly Woo

Miss Congeniality (2000)
Sandra Bullock is a master at marrying comedy, romance and action, and the best example of her genius is Miss Congeniality. As FBI Special Agent Gracie Hart, she's a tough cookie who wears shapeless suits. But when an agent needs to go undercover at the Miss United States beauty pageant, she needs a makeover, fast. Enter pageant coach Victor Melling (Michael Caine), who has his work cut out for him. Properly coiffed and gowned, Gracie has to smile, strut and play harp, all while looking for a domestic terrorist who has threatened to blow up the event. – KW

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Near the top of the pantheon of Dad Movies rests this harrowing incarceration drama based on a Stephen King novella, a film often cited for making grown men weep. Banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) arrives at Shawshank State Penitentiary after he is sentenced to life for murdering his wife and her lover, though he claims to be innocent. There, he befriends Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman), a contraband smuggler. Over the next two decades, Andy is assaulted, mentors other prisoners and becomes embroiled in a money laundering scheme by warden Samuel Norton (Bob Gunton). Through his travails, Andy dreams of living in a peaceful beach town in Mexico. Hope is the only thing he has left. – KW

The Last Duel (2021)
The Last Duel suffered from a misguided publicity campaign. The trailer focused on bad wigs, instead of conveying it as the thought-provoking examination of misogyny that it is. The title is quite literal, as an allegation of rape leads to the last sanctioned duel in France. Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon) grows bitter as his marriage to Marguerite (Jodie Comer) becomes strained and his former friend Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver) gains more favor with their lord, Count Pierre d’Alencon (Ben Affleck). When Marguerite accuses Jacques of rape, Jean challenges him to a duel. While the movie is told from three perspectives, the truth never wavers. - KW
Editor's note: The Last Duel is also leaving HBO Max at the same date.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011)
An elegant, meditative portrait of a master at his craft, this documentary follows the revered sushi chef Jiro Ono, the owner of Sukiyabashi Jiro. The restaurant, which previously held three Michelin stars, has just 10 seats and is located in a Tokyo subway station. Jiro is perfectionist whose passion for cooking is hard to match — as his son Yoshikazu knows only too well. Primed to succeed his father, he struggles with living up an intimidating legacy. – KW

Once (2007)
The boy and girl don't get together in this wistful, charming drama, yet it's as powerful of a love story as you can get. While busking in the streets of Dubling, a struggling musician (Glen Hansard) meets a young woman (Marketa Irglova) selling flowers. When she reveals that she plays piano, they play one of his songs together at a nearby music store. It turns out that he's nursing a broken heart, while she has a child and a long-distance husband. Still, they bond over their passion for making music. After recruiting a few other band members, they spend all night recording a demo for him to take to London. – KW
