These are very great films. Over time, they have accumulated almost as many fans as money. Five films leave Netflix on April 30. Cumulatively, they represent no less than 2.3 billion dollars in revenue. If you want to understand the enthusiasm that exists around these feature films, you only have very little time left to enjoy them. The first of them, Stop me if you can, dates from 2002. This great film by Steven Spielberg, which received two Oscar nominations in 2003, tells the story of the conman Frank Abagnale. As he prepares to be extradited from Marseille to the United States, he thinks back to what landed him in prison. We then follow Frank, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, through his various scams, his cat and mouse game with the police, and the relationship with his Franco-American family. Tom Hanks, Nathalie Baye, Jennifer Garner and Ellen Pompeo are also part of the cast.

In In troubled waters, the enemy is much bigger than a virus. In this film released in 2018 – and of which a second part was released last year – Jon Turteltaub depicts a world in which a 20 meter long prehistoric shark, the Megalodon, threatens scientists on an expedition in the Pacific. Jonas Taylor, a former Navy captain played by Jason Statham, is hired to confront this extraordinary predator.
In Rampage: Out of control, the fifth film to leave Netflix on April 30, it is on Earth that a strange beast threatens men. After a genetic experiment goes wrong, an albino gorilla named George, very close to the primatologist Davis Okoye (Dwayne Johnson) who tamed him, becomes uncontrollable. With two other animals, also mutants, he ravages Chicago. Scientists must find a way to stop them and return them to their normal state.
