Granted, I only saw the movie once about 30 years ago, but I don't
remember a twist.

Stop playing with my emotions like this! I just checked and it's
available on HBOMax, nothing about an end date in the description. I
spot checked several other movies on the list and some had end dates,
but they were listed twice. Once under HBO/HBOMax and separately just
under HBOMax. The HBO/HBOMax had an end date, the separate HBOMax entry
did not have an end date.

Maybe these movies are leaving streaming from "HBO" but will still be
available on HBOMax? Perhaps the confusion is if you have HBOMax you
also get to stream stuff from HBO, which maintains it's own separate
list of movie and end dates. At least that's my theory.

I'm going to roll the dice that I don't have to change my watch plans
and watch The World The Flesh and the Devil today. I already have a set
of movies that I want to watch today, and I *want* to watch them today.
Plus I've already started... That being said, I do have an opening
next Sunday and can *easily* shift what I had planned to watch and do my
last people on Earth marathon then instead...
