Many things, like Star Wars, aren't available because the owners have no interest in selling the streaming rights.

Even Hulu won't have most of the movies you listed and they specialize in old stuff they can get the rights to for cheap. Netflix streaming isn't supposed to have every movie every made. That's just impractical. Netflix as more quality movies and TV shows than any person can watch. Also, try other regions. Tons of content outside the US.

And that is what frustrates me more than anything else. These companies talk big and want us to stream movies and such nowadays rather than buy them, but they don't want to provide them to companies to stream them. I miss the days of Video Factory and Blockbuster when I could walk into any one of them and find nearly every movie in existence there to rent. Nevertheless, of course JDF can afford to only be paid $1 for an episode of PR, he is gouging his fanbase of their money instead.

Streaming is all about licensing, which makes is bullshit because I should have access to see any movie I want whenever I want. I cannot even rent these movies because the only places left to rent movies are Red Box and they only carry the big boobied explosion movies. I cannot rent classics from Red Box.

Honestly, I have to say I am a bit disappointed in JDF. The man talks about how much he loves the fandom. How he would do a Power Rangers episode for $1 just to please the fans, as the fans are the reason he is where he is to this day. Yet, he is going to be at Denver Comic Con next weekend, and he is charging $40 for an autography. FOURTY FUCKING DOLLARS!!! Walter Jones and David Yost want $20, which is still a rip off, especially from a person who wasn't even on the show for two full seasons.
