With our post about Se7en, it's reminding me about other movies from that era. This one was a real mind fuck. I suggest watching it and don't read any spoilers. Oh, it's about localized terrorism.

Yeah, I went to check Roku just to see real quickly if we could watch it and zero results came back. Was odd, not a lot of movies where it doesn't result in some random streaming service offering. Had to resort to high seas. Good reminder. This, The Game, Seven, Batteries Not Included. Some solid throw backs lately.

To Live and Die in LA is another one I can’t find streaming anywhere. There’s always an eclectic film that just doesn’t exist in digital form for whatever obscure reason.

Is this the one where the main guy is a professor who teaches about waco and ruby ridge and gets sucked into a home grown terror plot? Especially poignant given the modern era.

I believe so, I think Jeff Bridges is the professor and Tim Robbins is his neighbor possibly. I don't think I've seen it since College, and I guess I've had a World trade center related plot, and if I had the hazard I guess that's probably why it's not available on any streaming service.

The terror plot in the film is more a repeat of the McVeigh OKC bombing.

And the reality is there's a TON of films from the 70-90s that are really hard to find that even have plenty of known names. I don't know why this is but it sucks. The only thing I would assume is that the owners are asking more for the rights to stream them than the streamers think they're worth.

I've been wanting to rewatch Kafka with Jeremy Irons. I think it was one of Steven soderberg's first films. I don't believe it ever got released to DVD or anything but I still have a VHS tape somewhere in a box. I've never seen it on any streaming platform, but maybe there's a rip out on the high seas.

They're just a lot of movies out there that are worth watching that simply aren't available unless you got a hard copy. Like you said I'm sure it all has to do with rights and what people are willing to offer and what they want to share their film.

Hold onto your dvds, books, and CDs people. The streaming revolution means it's easy to make things disappear without a trace. And don't forget the new trend of going in and deleting editing/censoring movies because you find them "problematic" by today's standards (e.g. The French Connection edit). If you love your media, preserve it yourself- don't rely on someone else.
