We made it through 2025, and it's been a year packed with compelling dramas and action movies across the best streaming services. Now that we're coming up to the new year, there are a lot of exciting new Netflix movies on the way, but sadly, the curtain call for others.

There are 54 Netflix movies being chopped in January – I know, it hurts me too – but it's action and sci-fi movies that are bearing the brunt in this list, most of them with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. There's not a lot of time left before they leave Netflix, so if you're looking for movies to bring you out of the festivities and back, these are the ones to go for – kicking things off with this action-packed blockbuster from Edgar Wright.

If you love the soundtrack and choppy editing style that Edgar Wright has built his career on, then you won't want to miss his action-thriller Baby Driver before it leaves Netflix in the new year.

Ansel Elgort stars as Baby, a partially hearing-impaired getaway driver who can conduct the swiftest of moves with the right song playing. Contracted to work for mob boss Doc (Kevin Spacey), he's been assisting him on planned robberies to pay off a debt, but decides this is no longer the life he wants to lead.

When he meets girlfriend Debora (Lily James), he sees it as his chance to finally make a clean escape from his crime-ridden life, but he finds himself in a difficult position when Doc enlists his help for one more robbery with a crew of thugs who are too violent to stick to Doc's plans. Will Baby make it out alive?
