That should be due to everything before 1973 having become part of the public domain instead of the current system where copyright has been extended so many times that almost every movie that enters the public domain was from before even the people in nursing homes were born.

All the people that are interested in classic films on streaming services already use mubi or criterion collection. hbo max probably has a better selection of old films i bet. tubi too.
slopflix watchers only care to have something on in the background while they scroll tiktoks, not consciously think about what they're watching

Then pull up Amazon and watch shit from before then. Non issue

People who want to watch movies are not on netflix

And these are the people who will be the stewards of WB's history

HBO max has gone with the wind and a bunch of TCM, paramount has a bunch ch of movies from the 20s

Good, old movies are problematic and have no place in modern civic society.

i haven't had netflix in over a year but this is surprising, I figured every service had a handful of old movies buried in their collection, Tubi which I use regularly has a huge old movie backlog

95% of movies are disposable culture. studios understood this until the '80s or so which is why they junked so many ancillary elements.

>Nobody watches Noh anymore
Who cares nigga

This is awful. I can't go up to complete strangers in public and say "bro you GOTTA watch Seven Samurai" anymore because now they'll just pull the "it's not on Netflix" card.

I don’t like old shit because the graphics are bad

Fake and gay
Still, you are talking about fucking 52 years
How many people in the 80's were interested in watching movies from the 30's?

I love how Netflix dumped 99% of their licensed catalog because it was too expensive yet they don't seem to have a problem spending $500 million to produce a single season of their own show.

Why don't they just add movies that are in the public domain?

It's called the Golden Age of Hollywood for a reason

If you're pointing to Netflix as your movie library then you're a fucking idiot.

The public domain cutoff currently is at 1930, so that theory doesn't hold water.

>>217070754
What's terrifying about that?
The Sting is a really good movie btw.
