Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Victor, it's over. I've been very, very closely following Netflix for what, nine years? Every year since

streaming, it's become less interested in "hard copy." And it buys very, very few foreign titles.
Truly, the waiting periods have become common for all but the most popular foreign titles; viewers increase, titles don't. They make VASTLY more money from streaming. At this point, they probably continue DVDs as a loss leader. At any rate, I have a massive list of films I compiled from cross-indexing "best of" film lists for five or six years. It is exceptionally rare to find one on Netflix. Even pretty well-known films are ignored. The "Save" feature is a waste of time; films on my list never are offered.
As you can see from this very forum, made-for-cable is the replacement for film. MP3 has its new corollary.
