I'm shaking
>>217070754That 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
>>217070754Then pull up Amazon and watch shit from before then. Non issue
>>217070754People who want to watch movies are not on netflix
>>217070754And these are the people who will be the stewards of WB's history
>>217070754HBO max has gone with the wind and a bunch of TCM, paramount has a bunch ch of movies from the 20s
>>217070754>go to russian youtube>watch any kino from any era streaming instantly fo free with zero adsimagine paying for shitflix
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.
>>217070754>Nobody watches Noh anymoreWho cares nigga
>>217070754This 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
>>217070754Fake and gayStill, you are talking about fucking 52 yearsHow many people in the 80's were interested in watching movies from the 30's?
>>217070754I 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.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_in_public_domain#United_StatesWhy don't they just add movies that are in the public domain?
>>217073120It'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.
>>217070867The public domain cutoff currently is at 1930, so that theory doesn't hold water.
>>217070754What's terrifying about that? The Sting is a really good movie btw.
>>217071098>30 years on from its demose and the Soviet Union is still giving back to the worker
there's only like 5 good movies before 1990
>>217071098What yt channel?
>>217071068LOL
>>217075938Mosfilm
>>217070754I don't know about Sting (1973) but Sting (2024) was a masterpiece.
>>217073722His should isn't an affirmation of truth, but of virtue.In a good world, movies made before 1973 SHOULD be public domain.
Torrentchads stay winning
>>217070754You can watch a lot of the old stuff on youtube and free ad slop like plex. a lot of old classics belong to legacy studios, which netflix hardly owns. the rest of the public domain shit just isn't popular enough. most of these films are on youtube in full 4k but hardly have any views. the vincent price and john wayne usuals do alright but the comments are like a fucking end of life ward. 20 years from now, 90% of the people watching this shit will be dead
>>217073206Why would they need to? Theres not too much to gain from distributing vintage antiques that anyone can legally watch anywhere else.
>>217071085The original version of Gone with the Wind? Doubt.
>>217076173C&F
>>217076152Are you nodding off on heroin while you watch this?
>>217070754accounting for inflation The Sting is one of the highest grossing movies of all time. How? its really not that good.
It's not called Netflix, faggots
