With Thanksgiving successfully ruined, it's time to start planning for the rest of the holiday season, one typically comprised of crying and drinking until mid-March. Netflix has decided to celebrate the Coming Of Darkness by snatching classic films like Spice World, Dirty Dancing and RoboCop 2 from our streaming grasp, which is terribly sad. Thankfully, though, we're getting a few films that pair well with wine and winter tears, like Almost Famous, A Knight's Tale, The Wolf of Wall Street, plus the criminally underrated Troop Beverly Hills.
