If you subscribe to Prime Video in the UK, you better clear some time from your schedule to watch as many movies as possible, because the Amazon-owned streaming service is about to lose a wide selection of classics.

Before the end of the year, a collection of classic sci-fi, war, action and comedy movies are about to leave the streamer in the UK, including at least one original for the streamer.

Movies directed by the likes of Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Guy Ritchie, Kenneth Branagh, Antoine Fuqua and Ben Stiller will all be removed over the next few weeks, with must-watches starring Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphey and a whole lot more set to leave the platform.
