12. Jan 5th: Maiden

And to finish up our 12 Days of Streaming here’s a documentary hidden gem with an ultra-high 98% Rotten Tomatoes score that you must watch before it sails away soon. You don’t need to be into sailing (nor sport as a whole) to have a real appreciation for this real-life tale from which everyone can learn something.

Maidentells the awe-inspiring story of Tracy Edwards, a passionate yacht racer who in the late 1980s assembled the first ever all-woman crew to take on the astounding challenge of the Whitbread Round the World Race. Part of what makes the documentary such a success, though is that it does a terrific job of not just portraying the physical challenges that the crew faces, but also delving into the emotional realities, too.

11. Jan 4th: Ali

Will Smith’s turn in this Oscar-nominated sports biopic is stellar viewing, whether you’re a boxing fan or not, so catchAli(and not a fist… or a slap?) before it leavesNetflixthis month. Don’t sleep on it.

No one could ever really give the man his full impact on screen, but Smith comes close. He seems to embody the man known as “The Greatest” both in the ring and outside of it, with press conferences and interviews that just ooze charm.

10. Jan 3rd: The Terminal

A stone-cold classic starring Tom Hanks is leaving Netflix on 15 January, so catch it if you can… and, no, we’re not riffing on Hanks' other great,Catch Me If You Can(as that left the streaming service some time ago), rather the superbThe Terminal.

Get all the latest news, reviews, deals and buying guides on gorgeous tech, home and active products from the T3 experts

Based on true events,The Terminalfollows Victor Navorski, a man from a fictional Eastern European country hoping to visit New York, USA. When his plane touches down at JFK airport, however, it becomes clear he won’t be going anywhere. A coup in his homeland leaves Victor in diplomatic limbo, and he’s forced to live in the airport.

9. Jan 2nd: Drive

While it’s back to work for many, if you swerve that gym time you promised yourself then instead check out this intense Ryan Gosling classic,Drive, which is departing Netflix very soon. You’ve got until the 4 January, though, so just shy of the weekend’s arrival.

Driveis a brilliantly unique movie that combines some amazingly-shot car chases, a burning romance, and some frankly horrible (yet justified) violence. It often goes a long time without dialogue, relying instead on the superb soundtrack. In the approach to Blue Monday, it’s the perfect accompaniment.

8. Jan 1st: Saltburn

Saltburnis the second feature film from director and writer Emerald Fennell, who made such a crazy splash with her full-length debutPromising Young Woman, starring Carey Mulligan, back in 2020. Like that movie,Saltburnis dark (likefull capital letters dark), and goes to some frankly unbelievable places. Watch it, but watch it with caution!

7. Dec 31st: The Gentlemen

What better to watch on New Year’s Eve than a British gangster movie? This Cockney criminal caper is a must-watch – and soon you must watch it, as it leaves Netflix this week an' all – from acclaimed director Guy Ritchie. It’s almost like a third part to theLock StockandSnatch, taking on similar themes and brilliant witty comedy.

Ritchie is well-known for his comedy-infused crime capers andThe Gentlemendoesn’t disappoint. Fans agree, too, scoring the flicka positive 85% score on Rotten Tomatoes. That’s a deserved step above the critics' score of 75% – but that score is no surprise, as it echoes critics' sentiment of Ritchie’s other similar movies.

6. Dec 30th: Paranormal Activity

Okay, forget the Christmas cheer (that’s pretty much over and done with now anyway, right?), today’s entry is a chilling horror classicwith 83% on Rotten Tomatoes– but Paranormal Activity also leaves Netflix in just 11 days' time.

Paranormal Activitytook the “found footage” genre and brought it kicking and screaming into modernity (for the late 2000s). Its footage comes, ostensibly, from a camera that its starring couple sets up to film their night-time slumber in the hopes of dismissing the idea that they’re in any way haunted. Cue lots of suggestive scares that’ll disturb you in am eerie psychological manner…

5. Dec 29th: Bill & Ted

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventurewas the teen movie that shot Keanu Reeves and co-star Alex Winter to fame, as they play the titular Bill and Ted respectively, two high school nobodies about to flunk their finals – until a mysterious time-travelling phone box (plus Rufus, of course) takes them on a historical-gathering mission.

It’s almost hard to believe this movie was released in the late 1980s (1989 to be exact), so you can anticipate all the retro looks, plus various calamities and hilarities along the way (so typically associated with this era of movie-making). If you’ve never seen it, Bill & Ted depart Amazon Prime Video on 1 January, so best be quick!

4. Dec 28th: No Country For Old Men

Some of the biggest movies of all time missed out on Best Picture wins at the Oscars. It takes a rare feat of cinematic perfection to win such a hallowed award, butNo Country For Old Menpicked up the gong back in 2008 (along with three others for Best Director, Best Supporting Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay).

But it’s not 2008 any more, and as we knock on the proverbial door of 2024, The Cohen Brothers' masterpiece is slated to depart Netflix. Indeed, you’ve only got until 1 January to watch this brooding, brilliant flick. Critics agree, too,awarding an epic 93% Rotten Tomatoes score.

It’s a dazzling and downright weird fantasy straight from the mind ofThe Muppetsmaster Jim Henson. It’s also from that pedigree of ostensibly family-friendly films that nonetheless contain a fair few creepy or unnerving moments – some of them more detectable for older viewers, and others still plenty scary for young’uns. We say that as a good thing, mind – too many kids’ movies now are over-saccharine…

2. Dec 26th: The Bank Job

Jason ‘The Stath’ Statham stars in this brilliantly, er, Stathish action movie,The Bank Job, which first hit our screens back in 2008. It was critically well received,landing a solid 80% on Rotten Tomatoes– and it’s departing Netflix on 1st January.

1. Dec 25th: Bridget Jones’s trilogy

If you’re a fan of the Bridget Jones trilogy then you’d best act fast, as all three movies will exit Netflix before 2024, so don’t let the clock strike midnight on New Year’s Eve 2023 without having watched these classics.
