Netflix will remove several notable titles from its streaming service in November, including a mix of films and a popular television revival.
On November 1, the platform will lose the 1987 musical biopic *La Bamba*, directed by Luis Valdez. The film chronicles the life of Ritchie Valens, the influential rock musician who died at 17 in a 1959 plane crash alongside Buddy Holly and J.P. Richardson. Lou Diamond Phillips stars in his breakout role as Valens, with a soundtrack featuring performances primarily by the band Los Lobos.
Also departing on November 1 is the 1994 action thriller *Speed*. Directed by Jan de Bont, the film centers on a Los Angeles bus rigged with a bomb set to detonate if the vehicle slows below 50 miles per hour. Keanu Reeves plays the heroic cop racing against time, while Sandra Bullock’s role helped establish her as a leading actress. Dennis Hopper portrays the antagonist responsible for the deadly setup.
On November 14, viewers will no longer have access to *The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo*, David Fincher’s adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s best-selling novel. The film follows investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) and hacker Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara) as they unravel a complex cold case prompted by wealthy industrialist Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer). The film received attention for its atmospheric cinematography by Jeff Cronenweth, which earned an Academy Award nomination.
*True Romance*, a 1993 crime film directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino in his early screenwriting career, will leave the platform on November 19. The movie features Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette as young lovers fleeing danger, with a supporting cast including Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, and Brad Pitt. The film is notable for its stylized storytelling and ensemble performances.
Finally, the Netflix revival series *Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life* will be removed on November 25. The limited series, which resumed the story of the Gilmore family, stars Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, and Kelly Bishop. It received praise for maintaining the original series’ sharp dialogue and handling the passing of Edward Herrmann, who portrayed the family patriarch, with sensitivity.
These removals mark the end of availability for several acclaimed and culturally significant titles on Netflix as the streaming service adjusts its content library.
