Congrats, lovers of Netflix Instant. The network's October lineup of new releases offers more treats than tricks, including beloved classics like Rain Man and cult hits like Galaxy Quest and Team America: World Police.
But the shocking twist is the number of amazing shows and films leaving us this month, including—gasp—every season of every series of Law & Order. Dude, Netflix. Not cool, man.

The Internet started celebrating one of this month's releases early: The online release of all seven seasons of Gilmore Girls seemed to be one heard 'round the world.
Gilmore Girls on Netflix is more important than the iPhone 6 launch. There, I said it.
— Brook Surgeon (@brookmade) September 11, 2014But there are plenty of other reasons to get excited in October. The lineup includes family favorites like the musical Annie, undoubtedly released as a precursor to the upcoming holiday release of the remake starring Quvenzhané Wallis and Jamie Foxx. Also released just before its holiday sequel is The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
The list also includes another Foxx vehicle—Django Unchained, along with other acclaimed dramas like Kramer vs. Kramer.
TV lovers have plenty to celebrate with new seasons of several series already on Instant, like season nine of Supernatural, season two of Arrow, and, at long last, the delayed release of season six of Sons of Anarchy. And although it's technically debuting on Sept. 30, we can't go without mentioning the Netflix premiere of Peaky Blinders, the BBC period gangland drama starring Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy.
