5 star-studded movies leaving Netflix this month - from The Revenant to Stardust

There are lots to consider when deciding what film to watch on a Friday night, but this task is made a lot easier when a star-studded cast is involved.

Films and TV shows leave Netflix all the time, and this will again be the case during September 2022.

But when the line-up includes Hollywood icons, it can be a race to check out all the hit movies before they get the boot.

To make sure you don’t miss out on any Oscar-worthy performances, we have compiled a list of the top five star-studded movies leaving Netflix this month.

Man on Fire (2004)

Man on Fire is a 2004 thriller directed by Tony Scott, from a screenplay written by Brian Helgeland.

The film stars Denzel Washington as John Creasy, a despondent, alcoholic former CIA operative who accepts a job as a bodyguard from an old friend Paul Rayburn, played by Christopher Walken.

Due to the high rate of kidnappings in Mexico City for ransom money, businessman Samuel Ramos ( Marc Anhony ) hires Creasy to guard his nine-year-old daughter Pita ( Dakota Fanning ).

Just as Creasy begins to develop a fondness for the young girl, a bloodthirsty gunman, played by Jesús Ochoa, kidnaps her.

The plot follows Tristen, a young man from the fictional town Wall who ventures into the magical fantasy kingdom of Stormhold to retrieve a fallen star for his crush Victoria.

The magical movie is being removed from Netflix on September 15.

The Revenant (2015)

While exploring the uncharted wilderness in 1823, frontiersman Hugh Glass, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, sustains life-threatening injuries from a brutal bear attack and is left for dead by members of his team.

In a quest to survive, Glass endures unimaginable grief as well as the betrayal of his confidant John Fitzgerald ( Tom Hardy ) who kills his son Hawk (Forrest Goodluck).

Fuelled by vengeance, Glass must navigate a vicious winter through snowy terrain to track down the man who betrayed him.

The ensemble cast also includes Will Poulter, Domhnall Gleeson, Paul Anderson and Lukas Haas.
