A fresh round of departures is coming to Netflix India at the end of this month. From acclaimed dramas to offbeat comedies and edge of your seat thrillers, several notable titles will leave the platform on July 31. Here’s a look at some of the standout films you might want to watch before they’re gone.

Red Eye (2005)
Directed by Wes Craven, this edge of your seat thriller stars Rachel McAdams as a hotel manager and Cillian Murphy as a mysterious stranger she meets on a late night flight. What begins as a friendly conversation soon turns into a chilling hostage situation mid-air, with a political assassination hanging in the balance.

Awakenings (1990)
Directed by Penny Marshall, this heartfelt drama features Robin Williams as a devoted doctor who uncovers a revolutionary treatment for catatonic patients, including Robert De Niro’s character, Leonard Lowe. Inspired by true events, it’s a powerful tale of hope, healing, and life’s brief, precious moments.

American Beauty (1999)
Directed by Sam Mendes, this Oscar winning dark comedy stars Kevin Spacey as Lester Burnham, a man trapped in suburban monotony who begins to rebel against his life. With Annette Bening, Thora Birch, and Mena Suvari in key roles, the film dives into desire, identity, and the illusions of the American dream.

America’s Sweethearts (2001)
A breezy romantic comedy directed by Joe Roth, featuring Julia Roberts as a publicist stuck between feuding Hollywood stars, played by Catherine Zeta Jones and John Cusack. With Billy Crystal adding comic flair, the film is a behind the scenes look at love and chaos in showbiz.

Punch Drunk Love (2002)
From acclaimed director Paul Thomas Anderson, this offbeat romantic dramedy stars Adam Sandler as Barry Egan, a lonely small business owner with anger issues who unexpectedly falls for Emily Watson’s warm and mysterious character. Quirky, tender, and visually inventive, it’s one of Sandler’s most celebrated performances.
