Three Movies Not To Miss Before They Leave Netflix April 1st!

All good things must come to an end.  And so it is for these three classic films that will be leaving Netflix at the beginning of April 2018 . . . to make room for some other classics.

Catch ’em while you can!

“Caddyshack” (1980)

Well over 35 years after its release, this sports comedy still gets laughs, as is considered to be a crude classic. With the legendary Harold Ramis at the helm, and starring Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, and a motley crew of recognizable faces from the ‘80s, it’s the sort of comedy film that they just don’t make anymore. And yet, for many younger generations, it remains on the bucket list of films you’ve been meaning to see but never got around to. Well… here’s an excuse to finally scratch it off that list! With the title leaving Netflix imminently, why not watch it now while it’s still just one click away?

“Apollo 13” (1995)

Tom Hanks has been called Hollywood’s historian. Whether acting or producing, he’s played a role in bringing many important moments from American history to life on the big screen. Even amidst his impressive filmography, “Apollo 13” stands out. The film explores the ill-fated titular lunar mission and the unbelievable story of how these astronauts got themselves home against astronomical odds. With a stellar cast that includes Hanks, Bill Paxton and Ed Harris, and Ron Howard in the director’s chair… it’s a classic Hollywood drama. So whether it’ll be your first viewing or a repeat, why not take a trip into outer space with Tom Hanks and co. while the film is still available?

“The Shawshank Redemption” (1994)

It’s not every day that one of the greatest films ever made leaves Netflix! But sadly… one of these tragic occasions have arrived. For Netflix subscribers, it’s time to say goodbye to Andy and Red, and some of the more unsavory staff members of Shawshank Penitentiary… and what better way to send them off after their stint on the streaming service than with one last quality viewing? Directed by the talented Frank Darabont and adapted from Stephen King’s novella “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption”, this film is a masterpiece of storytelling. No matter how many times you’ve seen it, with its challenging subject matter and outstanding performances, the movie never fails to move you.
