Netflix is adding a huge number of new movies every month, because, as the old saying goes, "Out with the old, in with the new," and Netflix is sending some of its library to the streaming service under the sun And in February 2024, Netflix will remove some must-see movies But don't worry, there's still a little time

Some of Netflix's best movies that will end service this month include a gritty sci-fi action film directed by Pon Joon-ho and an adaptation of Stephen King's classic novel (and this is no horror film) In addition, Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" can be seen on Netflix before "Dune Part 2" is released in March

Based on Frank Herbert's legendary novel of the same name, "Dune" is an ambitious epic tale of complex political machinations set in a rich science fiction world Boasting breathtaking direction by Denis Villeneuve and an outrageous cast that includes Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, and Jason Momoa, "Dune" does what "Game of Thrones" It's a science fiction film that does for fantasy what fantasy did for science fiction

While there are many plot developments in this first chapter (as noted, "Dune Part 2" opens in just one week), the main plot follows young Paul Atreides (Chalamet), who arrives on Arrakis after his father (Isaac) accepts a position as overseer on the desert planet It appears to be a baronial wasteland, but is actually rich in spices, the most precious resource in the galaxy Paul and his friends will soon face betrayal from all sides as various factions vie for control of Arrakis

If you have a slightly silly sense of humor, you are almost guaranteed to enjoy The Good Boys This foul-mouthed film follows a trio of sixth-graders who can't act their age Max (Jacob Tremblay), Lucas (Keith L Williams), and Thor (Brady Noon) are supposed to be at school, but instead they skip class to replace a broken drone that Max stole from his father, and as a result, they spend all day messing around

In the process

In the process, they deal with pre-adolescent issues such as bullying, social anxiety, learning to kiss, and coping with their parents' separation They also accidentally find themselves in possession of illegal drugs and engage in some pretty creative cursing for a group of 12-year-olds The Good Boys is full of crazy sequences and outrageous potty humor, but it also has enough heart to keep you from feeling cynical, and the lovable leads quickly grow on your affections Just be warned, this is not a movie for the whole family

"Snowpiercer" takes place on a giant train that permanently orbits the Earth after its surface becomes uninhabitable in an attempt to stop global warming The train carries the last surviving humans on Earth, but the passengers are not equal The lower class citizens live in poverty at the tail end of the train, while the elite first class passengers enjoy luxury on the top deck Curtis, played by Chace Evans, is a former member of the group that leads a revolution against this unjust system

This sci-fi film offers adrenaline-pumping action, characters you can't help but root for, and a couple of well-placed twists, but what makes it more than just a popcorn movie is its message about our society Unfortunately, these reflections on climate change and class structure have become more relevant 10 years after its initial release, making "Snowpiercer" a very timely film Furthermore, if you enjoy this film, you will also enjoy the film adaptation of the television show, which aired for four seasons beginning in 2020

"The Last Negro in San Francisco," a semi-autobiographical drama in which Jimmy Fales plays his distorted self, won Best Director at the Sundance Film Festival and catapulted Joe Talbet into the limelight The film centers on Jimmy's mission to reclaim the San Francisco home his grandfather built Jimmy's family lost that house years ago, and the surrounding neighborhood has gentrified and is worth far more than Jimmy's salary But he will not give up so easily

A quirky comedy that is not afraid to get serious when necessary, "The Last Negro in San Francisco" also includes some surprisingly inventive visuals with an eye toward important themes such as identity and nationalism While the eccentric elements may be off-putting to audiences seeking a more accessible film, the strong characters and touching ending are particularly enjoyable

When you hear "based on the novel by Stephen King," you might think "Stand by Me" is a terrifying horror film packed with demonic clowns and other nightmarish creations, but this serious story is actually the one of the greatest coming-of-age stories ever told Based on King's 1982 novel The Body, the film replaces nerve-wracking horror with coming-of-age adventure and follows four friends in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine in the 1960s

The easygoing film follows four boys, played by Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O'Connell, as they set out on an adventure to find a dead body (it's a Stephen King story, so there has to be a body somewhere) Along the way, the best friends encounter a variety of obstacles, from a gang of bullies to a scavenger dog named Chopper What begins as an innocent way to spend a summer afternoon in the wilderness ultimately becomes a defining event in their young lives
