The best movies leaving Netflix, Hulu, Prime, and Max at the end of June 2023
June is almost behind us, and you know what that means: A new slew of movies landing on streaming is just over the horizon. Before we get there though, it’s worth taking stock of the best films the streaming platforms have to offer this month before they shuffle off their respective platforms.
We’ve got a solid selection of outgoing movies to choose from this month, from a triple-feature of crime dramas starring Denzel Washington, the outstanding romantic comedy High Fidelity starring John Cusack, Martin Scorsese’ Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and so many more.
With choices like that, you won’t have to look far to find something awesome to watch. Let’s get into it.
Year: 2007; 2006; 2009Genre: Biographical crime drama; Heist thriller; Heist thrillerRun time: 2h 56m; 2h 9m; 1h 46mDirector: Ridley Scott; Spike Lee; Tony ScottCast: Russell Crowe, Denzel Washington, Chiwetel Ejiofor
Why not end the month with a Denzel triple-header, celebrating one of the greatest Black action stars to ever grace our screens?
There are no bad eras of Denzel films, but this one was a particularly good one. His collaborations with Tony Scott were in full swing, and this trio sees him working with three master directors all at the top of their games, all while playing memorable (and extremely different) leads.
You could watch them in chronological order (starting with Inside Man and ending with Pelham 123), but starting with the period piece American Gangster and ending with back-to-back heis thrillers just feels right. And then you’ve got a Spike Lee movie bookended by movies from the Scott brothers, all starring Denzel, which just sounds like a terrific way to spend a Saturday night. —Pete Volk
