Now a week into the new year, Max is, like many of us, cleaning house. The streamer is ushering in a new month of library additions and new originals, and, like usual, we have to give to get.
While the streamer has lost a few titles already this month, including 2018’s “The Nun,” nearly all of Max’s departures will make their exit during the final week of the month, including “Birdman,” “Barbarian,” and more!
Before January comes to an end, check out The Streamable’s top picks of what to watch before they’re gone, and see the full list of what’s leaving Max throughout the rest of the month!
What are the 5 Best Shows and Movies Leaving Max in January 2024?
“Barbarian” | Wednesday, Jan. 24
Georgina Campbell leads the horror-thriller as Tess, a young woman who books a rental home only to find it is already occupied by a stranger (Bill Skarsgård). Against her better judgment, she decides to spend the night, but soon, they both find there’s a lot more to fear than just an unexpected double booking. Justin Long, Matthew Patrick Davis, Richard Brake, Kurt Braunohler, and others costar in Zach Cregger’s smart feature debut.

“(500) Days of Summer” | Wednesday, Jan. 31
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel star in the impactful (and often misunderstood) rom-com/coming-of-age film about greeting card writer Tom, who, following a sudden breakup with his girlfriend, Summer, reflects on their 500 days together through his memories of the relationship to try and figure out where things went wrong. Geoffrey Arend, Chloë Grace Moretz, Matthew Gray Gubler, Clark Gregg, Key Williams, and more also appear in the two-time Golden Globe nominee.

Alejandro González Iñárritu’s four-time Oscar winner (including Best Picture) stars Michael Keaton as a washed-up Hollywood actor best known for playing the superhero Birdman who is trying to mount his comeback by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway show.

“I Am Not Your Negro” | Wednesday, Jan. 31
Raoul Peck’s Oscar-nominated documentary imagines the book James Baldwin never got to finish: “Remember This House,” an account of the lives and assassinations of three of his close friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Through multiple chapters, Peck creates a journey through Black history, connecting the Civil Rights movement of the past to the #BlackLivesMatter movement of the present. Samuel L. Jackson narrates Baldwin’s original words amongst the archival material.

“The Terminator” | Wednesday, Jan. 31

Skynet takes over. Michael Biehn also co-stars as Kyle Reese, a soldier sent back in time to protect Sarah.
