June Expirations: Riding Into the Sunset

For those of you who also subscribe to Netflix, most of the below titles may look familiar—the majority of them are also streaming there. But not all of them are expiring from both services (a bit confusing, yes).

In addition to the shared titles that are expiring this month, a number of PRIME ONLY movies are also leaving, five of which belong to the increasingly beleaguered category of Genuine Classics. That means fans of westerns like 1958's The Big Country, starring Gregory Peck, and 1950's Broken Arrow, with Jimmy Stewart—not to mention John Ford's 1939 Drums Along the Mohawk and the John Wayne-starrer Brannigan (1975)—should move those titles to the top of their watchlists right away (especially The Big Country, which clocks in at almost three hours).

If you've already seen those but are still craving something less current than the usual streaming fare, check out the more obscure Lily in Love (1984), starring Christopher Plummer and Maggie Smith, or the Alistair Maclean thriller, When Eight Bells Toll (1971), featuring a young Anthony Hopkins in a rare action-adventure role. Some of the more highbrow critics championed Paul Schrader's Douglas Sirk-like melodrama, Forever Mine (1999), but I found it a bit hard to take (even with generous helpings of Gretchen Mol's many charms). View at your own risk.

Here's the full list of what's expiring in the next few days. Feel free to add your own in the comments below.
