It looks like a lot of great movies and series are making their way to Netflix next month.

According to a report by Polygon, Netflix is adding a few new films to its roster starting Dec. 1 and it looks like the popular online streaming service is adding a few blockbusters to celebrate the holiday season.

First off the list is the Marvel superhero film, "Captain America: Civil War." Released earlier this year, the film is one of the biggest titles to come up on Netflix and apparently is a result of Netflix's new deal with Disney which allows the online streaming site to gain rights to Disney's and Marvel's films after they've been cinematically released. From now on,  Netflix subscribers can expect more Marvel, LucasFilm, Pixar and Disney Originals to stream on the site thanks to the arrangement between the media outfits.

Aside from "Captain America: Civil War," there are also a few classics set to appear on the online site as well, including "The Little Rascals" and "Animal House." Subscribers can also check Netflix original biopic of Obama titled "Barry" and a comedy special of Reggie Watts, "Spatial."

Polygon also reports that "Fuller House" is also set to return to Netflix for its second season along with "Always," "Angels in the Snow," "Beverly Hills Cop," "Beyond Bollywood" "Black Snake Moan," "Chill with Bob Ross: Collection," "D2: The Mighty Ducks," "David Blaine: Street Magic," "Dreamland," "For the Love of Spock," "Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce," "Glory Daze: The Life and Time of Michael Alig," "Harry and the Hendersons," "Hitler: A Career," "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," "House of Wax," "Hannibal," "Merli," "Merry Kissmas," "National Lampoon's Animal House," and many more.

With so many films and series coming in to Netflix this December, however, it seems like the site will have to remove a few films on the site. These movies include  "American Beauty," "50 First Dates," "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood," "Elizabeth: The Golden Age," "Eagle Vs. Shark," "Star Trek: First Encounter," and "Top Gun."
