More than 80 movies and a handful of TV shows -- including `` Titanic , '' `` Top Gun '' and some seasons of `` Saturday Night Live '' -- will no longer be available for streaming through the site as of Wednesday , according to a post on Reddit . It was not clear who posted the list , but a search on Netflix for many of the titles reveals that they will indeed expire Wednesday for Netflix 's nearly 40 million streaming subscribers . The company 's DVD customers -- it has about 7 million in the U.S. -- may still order the discs in the mail .

'' ) Among the TV shows being purged from Netflix 's streaming menu : the original `` Dark Shadows , '' `` Mr Bean '' and `` The Kids in the Hall . '' A number of new titles also will become available for streaming on Netflix at or near the first of the year , including `` Jack Reacher , '' `` The Talented Mr. Ripley , '' `` Hansel & Gretel : Witch Hunters '' and seasons 5-8 of `` Dexter , '' the spokesperson said . On Monday , Netflix also began offering some new members a single-device streaming plan for $ 6.99 a month -- a dollar less than its current two-screen streaming option .
