Quick, find me the 90's era SNL character movie Bob Roberts, starring Tim Robbins, Giancarlo Esposito, and Gore Vidal. It's not available anywhere. Until obscure movies like this are a few taps away, streaming services will have not met their true potential.
- kkjjkgjjgg 5y agoLately none of the movies I am looking for are available. I've been starting to think of classics I should watch with my kids. Ruefully buying DVDs again.
- skinnymuch 5y agoThe Critereon Collection might be able to handle a lot of classics. I’ve never checked it out personally. Only heard about it.
- capitainenemo 5y agoNetflix DVD service does in fact still exist... They even have an android app.
- kkjjkgjjgg 5y agoInteresting. I'm in Germany, will see what I can find.
- nickthegreek 5y agogoogled it to find the whole thing is on vimeo. So... technically its on a streaming service.
- abruzzi 5y agoI have a huge list of movies (and a few TV shows) that don't seem to have made the jump. Some are great (the BBC series of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's People), some of them are very cult (Meet the Feebles), and some are just bad (Poor White Trash II, originally titled Scum of the Earth). Everyone said that streaming would make the "long tail" accessible because the costs to transfer and distribute would be so low, but that doesn't seem to have happened, at least to the extent that I'd like. (I've had the same issue with music--my MP3 collection consists of a few dozen LPs that I've ripped because they were never digitized and added to the different services.)
