Films you'd like to see on Netflix

Netflix UK and US are both very good services and I would not stop using them unless I really had to. What I have found however is that some major films I would want to see simply are not available to be streamed.

As an example I have just been looking up the following films:

The Dark Knight trilogy
The Star Wars trilogy
The Back to the Future trilogy
The Godfather trilogy
The Harry Potter trilogy

There are other individual films that are not on here but the things is these are not new films. Even the Dark Knight has been out for over three years and has had a blu-ray release so why not on Netflix? Do you think it is a cost issue or simply that the film makers don't want them on there to make more money from DVD and TV Deals? Why do you think this is?

I would want to see some of the horror films on there. Halloweeen, the thing, A Nightmare on Elm Street and some of the classics.
I wouldn't mind seeing any of those horror films are not as good as they once were sadly, I hope the filmmakers can make a good come back.

So many haha. Where to begin...
Chaplin
Days of wine and roses
Harvey
Lars and the real girl
Hard eight
Doubt
Rashoman
The diving bell and the butterfly
Mystic river
Ed wood
Win/win
Barry Lyndon.... To name a few .

I want the complete 108 minutes version of California Split on it!

This is why streaming services are no good unless you don't really mind what film you watch.

I don't stream at Netflix, I get the DVDs. BUT Netflix advertises MANY movie titles that they actually don't have. Which is misleading.

....I've got a few of these from my library but mostly these are films that I might never get to see.

Yeah, I think the problem is that they had a physical copy of many titles they say they have, but many have been broken, lost or unplayable and subsequently gone out of print. With streaming their apparent choice of the future, I'm not sure they'll ever get hard copies of them unless they're released on Criterion.

Mark f, unfortunately what you say is most likely the case. I don't think they will ever get those movies unless more people request them. Some of them I have seen but requested just so maybe I would help encorage Netflix to buy the DVDs.


Some of those movies are obscure 30s-50s films. But they don't even have the original Rollerball

I see most of his stuff available on Netflix, including Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire, The Straight Story, Blue Velvet, Dune, Wild at Heart, Lost Highway, The Elephant Man, Fire Walk With Me, The Enitre Twin Peaks TV Series...

The do not have Eraserhead, though. Still...all but one is decent, yes?
