Netflix is on the cusp of taking down a wide selection of movies and TV series.

The streaming service removes numerous titles each month, but without fanfare; unless you happen to select the thing that’s about to leave, you will have no idea there’s a limited amount of time left to watch.

Fortunately, we’ve compiled a list of every movie and TV show being removed from Netflix in April 2023.

We’ve aggregated all the impending removals from Netflix in the UK and US, which we’ve signalled below. If there isn’t a territory listed next to the title, then it will be leaving both.

Danny Dyer has spoken out about facing classist bias throughout his time as a public figure.

The actor, who left his role on EastEnders at the end of 2022, referred to people mocking his choice to name his daughter, former Love Island star Dani Dyer, after him.

In the interview with The Times, the example of Nigella Lawson’s name being derived from her father, baron and former Tory politician Nigel Lawson, was raised as a similar choice that has not drawn as much critique.

When asked whether the difference in how people perceive this tribute is an example of class bias, Dyer agreed, replying: “I think there is classism.

“As soon as I open my mouth I’m judged as thick and poor and not articulate. I noticed that early doors, but it hasn’t really bothered me.”

Dyer grew up on a council estate in east London’s Custom House neighbourhood.

An underdog sports team of ragtag losers needs to play an incredibly important game and against all odds manages to put up a decent fight, And on top of that the journey solves the personal problems of several team members. Sound familiar? It should, because there are literally dozens of such films about. Feel free to find an older example than 1976's The Bad News Bears or, a bit more adult, 1974's The Mean Machine, but let's all agree that the formula is at least almost half a century old. Korean director Shin Yeon-shick has now made his own entry in this genre with One Win, and it had its world première at this year's International Film Festival Rotterdam.

This year’s Asian World Film Festival will again showcase the very best of Asian cinema, all in an effort to draw greater recognition to the region’s wealth of filmmakers and talent while strengthening ties between the film industries of Hollywood and the continent.

During the pandemic, the 2020 edition was delayed to spring 2021. The festival will highlight pictures from more than 50 countries across Asia. It is unique in that it predominantly screens works that have been submitted to the Oscars and Golden Globes for international feature film and motion picture — non-English language, respectively.

“We started Awff in 2018, and we’re very proud of what we’ve achieved,” says executive and program director Georges Chamchoum, who co-founded the event with Sadyk Sher Niyaz, the former minister of culture of Kyrgyzstan, and Asel Sherniyazova and Brett Syson. “It’s a real passion for me, and our goal is to put a...

This Paper Girls article contains spoilers.

With the first season of Paper Girls currently airing, binge-watchers everywhere find themselves curious about where the story will go next if the series is renewed by Amazon for a second season. (Which feels more than likely given the buzz the show is generating). Seeing how the show diverges from the comics it was based on, much of what you are about to read is timey wimey speculation. That said, we’ve taken a look at both the source material and the seeds planted by the initial eight episodes to see what the future — or the past — will hold for Kj, Mac, Tiffany and Erin.

Tiffany and Erin Do The Time Warp Again

In the first season finale, Tiffany and Erin have escaped from the Old Watch’s time ship with the help of the (seemingly doomed) Prioress. They journey through a folding and land in Larry’s farm,...

Exclusive: Rob Schneider (The Wrong Missy) has signed on to star alongside Jake T. Austin and Isabella Gomez in the action-comedy Pledge Trip from director Tracy Boyd, which will go into production in November.

The film centers on three college freshmen who, in a pursuit to belong, take off down a twisted, debauched, pride-busting road to brotherhood. Details as to the role Schneider is playing haven’t been disclosed.

Boyd and Claudia Horaist penned the script from a story by Eric Prokay. Keli Price will produce under his Price Productions banner, along with Howell Upchurch and John M. Garrigan of Centaurus Entertainment, and John C. Hall. Scott Huneryager of Wave Motion Pictures will serve as the film’s executive producer.

Schneider is an actor, comedian, writer, director and producer who rose to fame in the 1990s as a cast member on Saturday Night Live. The three-time Emmy nominee has previously...

Exclusive: Paris Hilton, Academy Award-winning musician Finneas O’Connell, Emmy-winning journalist Lauren Sanchez, Sandra Seacat and journalist Gayle King will round out the cast of the Vito Schnabel-led dark comedy The Trainer, which has wrapped filming in Los Angeles, New York and the Bahamas.

The film written by Schnabel and Jeff Solomon is based on the former’s original story. It unfolds over eight days of sleep-deprived chaos and follows Jack (Schnabel), a down-on-his-luck fitness expert living with his mother in Los Angeles, who takes a maniacal swing at fame and fortune, trying to realize his version of the American dream. Tony Kaye (American History X) directed the pic boasting one of the most eclectic ensembles in recent memory, which also includes Julia Fox, Steven Van Zandt, Taylour Paige, Stephen Dorff, John McEnroe, Gina Gershon, Luka Sabbat, Gus Van Sant, Lenny Kravitz, Beverly D’Angelo, Colleen Camp, Gavin Rossdale, Soo Joo Park,...

James Hampton, who played the bumbling bugler Hannibal Dobbs on F Troop, the prison inmate Caretaker in the original The Longest Yard and Michael J. Fox’s furry father in Teen Wolf, has died. He was 84.

Hampton died Wednesday at his home in Fort Worth, Texas, of complications from Parkinson’s disease, a family spokesperson said.

Hampton was great pals with Burt Reynolds — the two first met on a 1963 episode of Gunsmoke — and they were castmates in The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing (1973), The Longest Yard (1974), W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings (1975) and Hustle (1975). Plus, he wrote and/or directed several episodes of Reynolds’ CBS sitcom, Evening Shade.

The special “In Memoriam” segment on the 2018 Emmy Awards ceremony will be especially tearful this year. Beloved television legends Steven Bochco, Anthony Bourdain, Robert Guillaume, Monty Hall, John Mahoney, Jim Nabors, Charlotte Rae, Burt Reynolds, Neil Simon and Craig Zadan will certainly be just a few people honored with in a musical tribute.

Let’s take a look back at these TV icons as well as over 50 others who have died since mid-September last year. Many will be included in the memoriam for the live Emmys ceremony hosted by Michael Che and Colin Jost for NBC on September 17.

Bochco died on April 1 at age 74. The 10-time Emmy winner was the creator of such TV classics as “Hill Street Blues,” “L.A. Law,” “NYPD Blue” and “Doogie Howser, M.D.” He was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1996.

Bourdain died in France on June...

Along with Roger Corman, Robert Aldrich seems to be the director most represented on Trailers from Hell. This prison-set anti-authoritarian football movie has similarities to The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. Burt Reynolds, who also appeared in the 2005 Adam Sandler (!) remake, plays a violent anti-hero who makes us root for him against the corrupt establishment anyway, but Sandler in the remake is pretty much of a wimp. Remade in England as Mean Machine in 2001.

The post The Longest Yard appeared first on Trailers From Hell.

This past week Burt Reynolds, perhaps the most self-deprecating movie star to ever cruise to box-office domination, died during a hospital stay in Jupiter, Florida, at the age of 82. “I’m pretty passionate about my work,” he once said, “even though I sometimes have this realization on the second day of shooting that I’m doing a piece of shit. So, I can do one of two things: I can just take the money, or I can try to be passionate. But the name of the boat is still the Titanic.” Yes, on top of being effortlessly likable and undeniably sexy, Reynolds was naturally funny too. And yes, there are a lot of confirmed pieces of shit floating around out there in which he received top billing. But even if the bad ones in his oeuvre outnumber the good ones (and I would argue that this is indeed the case...

Jupiter, Fla – When I met Burt Reynolds in 2011, I knew I was meeting Hollywood royalty… he filled the room as a Movie Star King. He was frail at that time, complaining of the injuries he endured in the over 90 films in his career, but nothing stopped his stardom until it was over. Reynolds died on September 6th, 2018. He was 82.

Burt was age 75 at our meeting, and he still had that the charm bearing that audiences adored in his heyday in the 1970s and early ‘80s, when he was the King of the Box Office. He started in 1950s TV, bounced around in that and B-movies in the ‘60s, and found his niche as a humor-motivated “good old boy” in a series of films in the ‘70s, culminating with “Smokey and the Bandit” in 1977, his most memorable hit. But even in his later years, he broke ground with “Boogie Nights,” and worked up to the end…...

New titles available on Amazon Prime next month include Amazon original series like “Six Dreams” Season 1, the second half of “Wishenproof” Season 2, “Pete the Cat” Season 1, “Forever” Season 1 and “King Lear” Season 1.

Some classic comedies will also become available in September, like the original “Ghostbusters,” “Jerry Maguire,” and “Smokey and the Bandit.” In more of a dramatic mood as the weather shifts? Dramas like “Sleepless in Seattle” starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan should do the trick.

Other movies arriving include newer flicks “Future World,” “Beirut,” “Strangers Prey at Night,” “Pistorius,” “Stronger,” “On Chesil Beach,” “My Little Pony,” “Hot Summer Night,” “Escape Plan 2,” “Jigsaw” and “Suburbicon.”

All week long our writers will debate: Which was the greatest film year of the past half century.  Click here for a complete list of our essays. I was one of the first to select years for this particular exercise, which probably allowed me to select the correct year. The answer is, of course, 1974 and all other answers are wrong. No matter what your criteria happens to be, 1974 is going to come out on top. Again, this is not ambiguous or open to debate. We have to start, of course, with the best of the best. "Chinatown" is one of the greatest movies ever made. You can't structure a thriller better than Robert Towne and Roman Polanski do, nor shoot a Los Angeles movie better than John Alonzo has done. Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway give the best performances of their careers, which is no small achievement. If you ask...

Richard Kiel, the 7'2" actor best known for portraying steel-toothed villain Jaws in a pair of James Bond films, has died. He was 74. A spokesperson at Saint Agnes Medical Center in Fresno, California, confirmed Wednesday that Kiel was a patient at the hospital and died. Kiel's agent, Steven Stevens, also confirmed his death. Both declined to provide further details. Kiel famously played the cable-chomping henchman who tussled with Roger Moore's Bond in 1977's The Spy Who Loved Me and 1979's Moonraker. Bond quipped of the silent baddie: "His name's Jaws. He kills people." Despite his appearance in several other films and TV shows,...

Actor Richard Kiel has died at the age of 74. The 7'2 tall, Detroit-born actor had been admitted to a hospital in Fresno after breaking his leg last week.

Kiel starred in numerous films and TV shows over the years including "Happy Gilmore," "Tangled," "Force 10 from Navarone," "The Longest Yard," "The Nutty Professor," "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.," "The Greatest American Hero," "Starsky and Hutch," "Kolchak: The Night Stalker," "The Wild Wild West," "The Twilight Zone," "I Dream of Jeanie," "I Spy," "Daniel Boone," "Simon and Simon" and more.

At one point he and Arnold Schwarzenegger were the original choices to play the title character in the 1977 TV series "The Incredible Hulk". Kiel was cast and shot the pilot, but was ultimately replaced by Lou Ferrigno.

It is, however, one role in two films that Kiel will always be remembered for - the iconic steel-toothed henchman Jaws in the Roger Moore-era...

Richard Kiel, whose towering height and distinctive baritone voice defined his nearly 50-year career in television and films, most notably as the steely toothed James Bond villain Jaws, died Wednesday afternoon in Fresno, Calif. at the age of 74, TMZ reports. The actor had been hospitalized after breaking his leg earlier in the week, but it is still unclear if that was related to his death.

Kiel’s rep did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.

Bettye McCartt, the longtime agent-manager for Tom Selleck and television director Tony Wharmby, has died. McCartt died Friday in Santa Barbara after a long illness, according to the Santa Barbara News-Press. She was 81. McCartt was owner of Agency For Artists and a partner in McCartt, Orck and Barrett Talent Agency, where she repped Selleck and Wharmby. Her other former clients included George Clooney, Billy D.

London, May 19: Richard Kiel found popularity when he played one of the most memorable Bond villain 'Jaws' in the 1977 movie 'The Spy Who Loved Me' and 'Moonraker' in 1979.

The 7f 2in actor, who continues making TV shows and films to this day, said that initially he wanted to become a lawyer but his family could not afford the expenses due to the big recession in 1958, Daily Express reported.

The international star, who has acted in many movies including 'The Mean Machine', said that his appearance in 'Barbary Coast' got him noticed by the Bond people.

Michigan-born Kiel said that even though he considered Jaws to.

The country music superstar had been admitted to Nashville’s Vanderbilt University Medical Center with high fever and irregular blood pressure, and died this morning, according to multiple reports. He was 81. George Jones‘ hits included “She Thinks I Still Care” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today.” In 2008, he was a Kennedy Center honoree, and last year received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. But the Texas-born singer was also known for his rocky personal life which included struggles with cocaine and alcohol addiction and four marriages — including one to country music icon Tammy Wynette. He earned the nickname “No Show Jones” after he failed to appear for several concerts. Many television shows including Nashville and The Wire featured Jones’ music. He also appeared in movies including The Longest Yard and Smokey And The Good Time Outlaws.

The remakes continue to come fast and strong, as Variety reports that Paramount has decided to redo its 1974 comedy The Longest Yard for Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions. The studio is currently on the lookout for a writer to update the story of jailed inmates who form a football team and play against a team of prison guards. The original Longest Yard starred Burt Reynolds as a retired pro quarterback sent to jail, and was one of the first films to cement Reynolds' film star status in the `70s. The update is expected to include more contemporary elements, and if Paramount partners with MTV Films, may feature a number of urban music stars. While Sandler's company will produce, he's not expected to star in the film.

British actor Vinnie Jones has returned to his soccer hardman roots for his latest movie - a remake of the 1974 Burt Reynolds classic The Longest Yard. And the former soccer player has proved he's as tough as ever, after insisting that all the action in the soccer-based movie should be genuine. Jones, who was feared by fellow players during his sporting career, plays a former professional footballer, Danny Mehan, who winds up in prison and organises a team of inmates to take on the prison guards. Starring alongside are his co-stars from Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, Vas Blackwood and Jason Statham - who've already had to endure a series of crunching tackles for the cameras. Vinnie, who's acting as adviser on the film, enthuses, "The tackles are pretty damn good. There is no moody (fake) stuff in it, what you see is proper football."...
