Netflix fans have just days to watch a critically acclaimed Steven Spielberg movie hailed as 'a harrowing piece of cinema.'

While the world's largest streaming service is constantly adding to its huge library of titles, it's also quietly removing movies and TV shows each month.

It can be easy to miss - and frustrating to realize.

One day you're searching for that niche film you're sure you'd seen pop up on their menu before. But nope, to your despair - it's disappeared!

So it's best to get in your watches while you can, like this historical drama which has a mammoth 98 percent score from Rotten Tomatoes critics.

And fans almost matched the score, rating it an impressive 97 percent.

Both directed and produced by Spielberg, it was his sixteenth feature film to be released back in 1993.

It tells the remarkable real-life story of German businessman, Oskar Schindler, who saved more than a thousand Jewish people from the Holocaust in World War II.

He employed people in his enamelware and ammunition factories in Poland, essentially creating a 'protected zone' for his workers.

It stars Liam Neeson as Schindler, Conclave's Ralph Fiennes as SS officer Amon Göth, and Shutter Island's Ben Kingsley as Schindler's Jewish accountant, Itzhak Stern.

The movie in question is, of course, Schindler's List. It's based on the historical novel, titled 'Schindler's Ark', by Thomas Keneally.

Chances are, you've seen the critically-acclaimed movie before. But if you haven't - or were planning a re-watch - then you'd better get moving as Schindler's List is being removed from Netflix on Thursday (May 1).

Rotten Tomatoes critics said of the film: "Schindler's List blends the abject horror of the Holocaust with Steven Spielberg's signature tender humanism to create the director's dramatic masterpiece."

Meanwhile, Nancy Nanciann Cherry from Toledo Blade weighed in: "It's the faces that make Schindler's List a magnificent, harrowing, stomach-wrenching, emotional piece of cinema."

Meanwhile, Orange County Register's Henry Sheehan reflected: "This is a movie that succeeds brilliantly not just in bringing a terrible chapter in history back to life, but in meticulously depicting the processes through which a self-obsessed and immature man becomes integrated and responsible."

Schindler's List grossed a huge $322.2 million profit in box offices worldwide, but Spielberg refused to take a salary, calling it 'blood money.'

Instead, he nobly founded the USC Shoah Foundation in 1994, set up to remember and honor those who survived the Holocaust.

Schindler's List is available to stream on Netflix until May 1.
