If you wanted to wind-down the long holiday weekend with a classic film or an episode of Melrose Place on Netflix, think again. The streaming service has purged more than 500 movies, TV shows and documentaries between the end of June and July 5.

The purge, which What's On Netflix Now's David Speranza calls "a massacre," has affected all genres across the service.

Selections as varied as 1935's silent film Happiness to various Ken Burns documentaries (Baseball) to 2000's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon have been purged.

Will McKinley has done a good job of cataloging some of the bigger losses, which include The Apartment, The Graduate, Taxi Driver and Patton.

And it's not just movies and documentaries. Classic CBS-owned TV shows are also disappearing from the service.

Not only is the original Mission: Impossible TV show and Knight Rider now gone from the service, both versions of Melrose Place have disappeared.

Look, Netflix. It was one thing when you took Beverly Hills, 90210 and 90210 off your service about 18 months ago. I was upset, but I've seen every episode of the Brenda years of 90210 enough times to be at peace with the decision. But Melrose Place? That's just cruel.

If one were a conspiracy-minded individual, she might think that the purge of CBS-owned shows is a ploy from CBS to get viewers to pay for its CBS All Access plan for $6 a month. Nice try, CBS.

I've had conversations with fellow film fans recently about the fact that Netflix is increasingly only about television — and certain types of television at that. Make no mistake — I still love Netflix, but I miss the Netflix that had a great array of movies.

Meanwhile, over at HBO Go/HBO Now, you can watch Gone Girl and Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead at your leisure. So that's something, at least.

Update July 6, 2015: Updated to clarify that more than 300 titles disappeared on June 30 and another 200+ disappeared on July 5.
