Netflix streaming was never intended as a one stop shop for movies. Who told you it was?

  That's what people want though. Who told them not to make it such?

    It wouldn't be $10 a month then

      Why not? Does the average person earn the total movie industry more money in any other way? Having 100 million subs (Netflix has 120 million atm) would then give you 1 billion per month -- which sounds decent enough to support a comprehensive movie archive, especially since most of it would be a long tail of movies that make tiny or no profit today and that would cost next to nothing to store for the occasional user. And for the popular titles, you could even opt for a distributed (e.g. bittorrent like) serving, to further lower your costs.
