Every month, Netflix adds a bunch of new content to its library of films and TV shows. But to make room for the newbies, some of the shows and movies you always wanted to watch—and had in your My List for months or years—suddenly disappear.

So each month, we keep you up to date with the latest list of what's leaving the service. Let's start with a peek at our top choices for what you should view before it's too late. The full list is below.
