The arrival of the new year also features the arrival of many blockbuster movies to Netflix.
The Shawshank Redemption, Caddyshack, The Truman Show, Apollo 13, National Treasure, Training Day, Troy, Wedding Crashers, The Godfather trilogy, all four Lethal Weapon movies, and five Batman movies are among the January additions.
After December was a huge month for Netflix on the originals and documentary front (Planet Earth II, Dark, The Crown, Peaky Blinders, Bright, etc), January appears to be a bit thin there. But there are a few intriguing titles, and every month there seems to be a surprise gem or two (like Dark in December).
Unfortunately, January features several popular titles leaving Netflix. Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, E.T., Grease, Gremlins, Mean Girls, Miss Congeniality, The Mighty Ducks, and all of the Saw films are on their way out on New Year’s Day. And the entire Lost series leaves on Jan. 4, so if you’re if you’re in the middle of watching that, you’d better hurry up and finish (or just give up). The same goes for seasons 14-17 of Law & Order: SVU, as well as seasons 7-10 of Futurama.
Here’s a full look at what’s coming to Netflix in January. (I’ve put some notable titles in bold to try to help you out, but keep in mind there may be some selections you find more important than I do):
