Netflix quietly removes hundreds of movies, shows
While each month Netflix announces what will be removed from their catalogue to make space for new movies, documentaries and TV shows — averaging about 50 — the streaming giant quietly removed hundreds of programs over the holiday weekend.
According to Mashable, Netflix removed more than 500 programs in total — 300 on June 30 and 200 on July 5.
“The (previous) big purges were always noted by the media, but this one has been done off-schedule so no one notices,” David Speranza said on What’s On Netflix Now.
The blog runner accumulated a list of most of the programs removed, including 19 silent films, two dozen classic films and a few hundred of other, lesser-known titles. Others were listed in the comments section.
“The Apartment,” (1960) “The Graduate,” (1967) “The Odd Couple” (1968) and “Taxi Driver” (1976) are among the classics removed. The service also removed a slew of classic television series including “Knight Rider” and “Mission: Impossible.”
Netflix has yet to release a statement on the purge of programs.
