The high quality unpopular movies don’t make it on anyone’s radar to negotiate streaming rights. The high quality popular movies are too valuable to offer to Netflix for a price they would be willing to pay.
I like Amazon’s pay-per-watch system much better.
- overcast 7y agoBut even that doesn't have EVERYTHING. It's very rare, that I don't find even the most obscure stuff available on Netflix DVD service. I'm a huge film fanatic, and $20 for roughly 3 movies a week is a steal. Streaming service video/audio quality just isn't on par with a Blu-Ray disk. The audio is often horrendous, which I understand most don't care about as long as they can see the picture on their $175 4K TV from Costco. Also, I wish their old distributions points would open back up, used to be next day turn around and Saturday :( I honestly don't know what I would turn to if the service went away.
- paggle 7y agoYeah, I’m not as much of a film buff as you. Pay to rent on Amazon does the job for me except about once a year when I order a disc.
- technofiend 7y agoI wonder if the answer to this is adopting the mechanical royalty model from the music industry. Anyone can stream the movie but a royalty must be paid.
