Thanks for following.

As long as there isn't a massive exodus of old movies off streaming platforms, I'll keep doing this now. When the big shift from DVDs to streaming happened, older movies were left behind and for a good long while there were hardly any old movies available. Netflix still barely has any. Thankfully other streaming services have come along (finally!) to fill that market for the old movies.

Another reason was that I cut the cable cord. I used to record movies off TCM like crazy. When I got rid of cable, I lost that tactic, too.

And now streaming has caught up and then some. Not sure how many of the movies from Ozu, Naruse and Mizoguchi I would have gotten to see (not to mention foreign movies from other countries) had I still needed to rely on DVD rentals and TCM.
