While there's a constant swathe of new Netflix movies every month, it also means we have to say goodbye to some much-loved titles leaving one of the best streaming services, including a Christopher Nolan classic and a critically acclaimed horror.

Out of everything leaving Netflix in February 2025, I've picked out three of the best Netflix movies with over 85% on Rotten Tomatoes from the critics in case you're wanting to catch a flick before it goes elsewhere.

Ranked as TechRadar's second best Christopher Nolan movie, Inception centers on Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), a troubled thief who steals secrets from people's dreams. Accused for his alleged role in his wife's murder, Cobb's only chance of redemption is to lead a dangerous mission to plant an idea into a target's subconscious. As TechRadar's Matt Bolton writes: "It's all a glorious excuse for some incredible scenes, such as a fight in a rotating hallway, or Paris being folded in on itself and manipulated."
