Charles EstherStreaming platforms are constantly rotating content in and out, and Max is no exception.
While the service continues to drop fresh titles every month, it’s also time to say goodbye to some beloved films that have made their mark.
This May, five standout movies are scheduled to exit Max — and each one is worth squeezing in before it disappears.
From award-winning multiverse drama to animated family favourites, here’s what to watch now before time runs out.
1. Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 94%
Directors: Dan Kwan & Daniel Scheinert
Age Rating: R
Runtime: 132 minutes
A genre-bending, emotionally resonant masterpiece from A24, Everything Everywhere All At Once took Hollywood by storm.
Michelle Yeoh stars as Evelyn Wang, a weary laundromat owner suddenly thrown into a multiverse-spanning mission to save reality.
What begins as chaotic action turns into a moving exploration of identity, generational trauma, and healing.
The film cleaned up at the Oscars, earning wins in major categories including Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actor.
It’s a once-in-a-generation kind of movie — and it’s departing Max soon.
2. The Imitation Game (2014)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 90%
Director: Morten Tyldum
Age Rating: PG-13
Runtime: 113 minutes
Based on a true story, The Imitation Game stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Alan Turing, the brilliant mathematician who cracked the Nazi Enigma code during WWII.
While he helped shorten the war and save millions of lives, Turing was later punished for his homosexuality, a tragic chapter in British history.
The film blends war-time tension with emotional depth and offers a vital look at the cost of genius and the injustice that followed.
It’s both inspirational and heartbreaking — a modern classic that deserves another watch before it leaves Max.
3. The Florida Project (2017)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 96%
Director: Sean Baker
Age Rating: R
Runtime: 111 minutes
Set in a budget motel just outside the flashy gates of Disney World, The Florida Project tells the story of six-year-old Moonee and her struggling mother.
With striking realism, director Sean Baker captures the joy and resilience of childhood against the backdrop of economic hardship.
Willem Dafoe’s performance as the motel manager earned him widespread praise and an Oscar nomination.
This deeply human film is both heartbreaking and hopeful — a gem you’ll want to experience before it’s gone.
4. Paddington (2014)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 96%
Director: Paul King
Age Rating: PG
Runtime: 95 minutes
Based on the beloved children’s book, Paddington is a delightful family movie that won hearts around the world.
After an earthquake destroys his home in Peru, Paddington Bear travels to London in search of a new life.
He’s adopted by the warm-hearted Brown family, but soon becomes the target of a villainous taxidermist played by Nicole Kidman.
Filled with humour, kindness, and adventure, this is comfort viewing at its finest — and it won’t be on Max much longer.
5. Deadpool (2016)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 85%
Director: Tim Miller
Age Rating: R
Runtime: 108 minutes
When it hit theatres, Deadpool flipped the superhero genre on its head.
Irreverent, gory, and hilarious, Ryan Reynolds stars as Wade Wilson — a former Special Forces operative turned mutant antihero.
With his self-aware humour and unconventional style, Deadpool became a fan-favourite and box office smash.
Unlike anything Marvel had produced before, it’s a refreshing break from traditional hero arcs — and one of the most rewatchable action-comedies around.
