Max has tons of great TV shows and movies. This makes it the best streaming service available today. But to make room for new shows and movies, it needs to get rid of some. And unfortunately, that means some really good movies are about to leave Max at the end of October.

Many of the films leaving the Max this month contain elements of horror and thriller. But there are also classics like Martin Scorsese's "Raging Bull," a prestigious drama worth watching. Here are the seven best films leaving Max this month.

Not to be confused with the 2010 film of the same name, the 1984 horror classic "A Nightmare on Elm Street" is definitely in the pantheon of horror films. Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), one of the three most iconic horror movie villains of all time, along with Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees, also counts in the pantheon of horror films.

In the original "A Nightmare on Elm Street," teens begin to see a mysterious, ugly man who turns their dreams into nightmares. After one teen dies, Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) engages in a fight to the death with the villain. It is then that she realizes that she must stay awake if she wants to survive. But you won't have any trouble staying awake after watching this film. If anything, once you watch it, you will have a hard time falling asleep.

Two of the best movies off the max have started, but there are already two movies that you will never be able to sleep again. In "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," parasitic aliens come to colonize Earth. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Driscoll (Brooke Adams), an experimental scientist at the San Francisco Health Department, notices that her partner has become cold and distant. Soon she and her colleague Matthew Bennel (Donald Sutherland) begin to figure out what is going on, but by then it may already be too late.

This 1978 film adaptation of Jack Finney's 1955 novel is actually a second attempt at "Body Snatcher," and while the 1956 film is considered quite good in its own right, this remake is probably more famous today. That's thanks in part to the excellent cast of Jeff Goldblum and Leonard Nimoy, in addition to Adams and Sutherland. Both versions are worth seeing, but be sure to catch this one before it disappears from Max later this month.

"Cabin in the Woods" may be my favorite horror film of all time. Even if it isn't, it's definitely in my top three. At first it feels like a very ordinary horror film, but by the end it is not. Instead, it's a brilliant satire on the slasher genre and one of my favorite twists in any film.

"Cabin in the Woods" features Kristen Connolly as Dana Polk, Anna Hutchinson as Jules Louden, Chris Hemsworth as Kurt Vaughn, Jesse Williams as Holden McCrea, Marty Mikalski Fran Krantz is starring in the film. Meanwhile, Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford play Gary and Steve, technicians at an underground facility where things go wrong. Williams in particular is excellent, but it is this Jenkins/Witford duo that really shines. I recommend that you don't miss this one before it ends its run at the end of this month.

For many, "Rocky" is probably the greatest boxing movie of all time. But if you survey 100 people, I bet at least one will say it's "Raging Bull". The film, in which Robert De Niro plays real-life boxer Jake LaMotta, is actually similar to "Rocky" in that the main character overcomes hardship to reach the top. Whereas "Rocky" dabbled in mafia stories, the story of "Raging Bull" centers on organized crime.

Aside from their Italian-American roots, the lead characters could not be more different. Whereas Stallone's Rocky follows the conventional hero's journey of "starting from the bottom and now rising to the top," De Niro's La Motta is often far from a hero and is definitely a villain. But regardless of the character's morality, De Niro's portrayal of La Motta was excellent and earned De Niro his second Best Actor award. Scorsese's acclaimed film should not be missed before it disappears from Max, perhaps forever.

Apparently, when one acclaimed Gene Hackman drama is added to Max, another must leave to make room. While this may not be an official rule, it is an interesting coincidence that "The French Connection" is being added to Max this month and "No Way Out" is leaving.

"No Way Out," with Kevin Costner as Lt. Col. Tom Farrell and Hackman as Defense Secretary David Blythe, is a brilliant political thriller. Fans of Jack Ryan, as well as fans of Hackman's other political thriller, "Enemy of the State," should definitely see it before it disappears from the Max. The story keeps your attention from beginning to end, and the twist ending is downright shocking.

Now back to horror films, and finally two excellent comedy-horror films. First, Little Shop of Horrors, based on the off-Broadway play based on the 1960 film, this 1986 comedy film tells the story of an unusual florist who deals in even more unusual plants. With Rick Moranis as Seymour Krelborn, Mushnik's florist, and Levi Stubbs as the voice of Audrey II, the villainous blood-hungry insectivore, "Little Shop of Horrors" stars Steve Martin, with John Candy and Bill Murray also starred in the film.

There is one drawback, however. Little Shop of Horrors" is a musical. So if you are not a fan of musicals, you will probably skip this one. But if not just to see Steve Martin give Bill Murray a "long root canal," I urge you to give it a shot. Seriously, "Little Shop of Horrors" is comedy gold and well worth the 94 minutes it takes to watch it. Even if it does have a lot of plant and human songs.

"Beetlejuice" only appeared on Max earlier this month, but apparently Max's appearance was a spooky seasonal special. Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse," but he never returned. It's a shame, because this ghoulish comedy is hilarious.

Starring Michael Keaton in the lead role, Betelgeuse (pronounced Beetlejuice) is full of acting talent. Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis play the recently deceased Adam and Barbara Maitland. When Charles Dietz (Geoffrey Jones), Delia Dietz (Catherine O'Hara), and Lydia Dietz (Winona Ryder) suddenly move in and start changing everything, the Maitlands call Betelgeuse to get rid of the Dietzes.
