Forum: Movies, TV, Celebrities

I recently got a new hyperfixation about an actor and am in the process of watching everything this man has been in. Mostly i can find the movies pretty easily, but some literaly disapeared from the face of the earth. Like why remove them? I can't pay to watch them becouse no streaming service offers them and I can't find it on any pirate site(?).

Like if it was a small production or something ofc I won't find it on netflix or sky(?), but like not even patrion? Where do they post these movies? Isn't it their plan for people to watch them, yet they are no where to be found?

Is there like a website for movies specialy like this where poeple post them and you pay to watch or?

most hard to find movies are on sflix.to but otherwise just search it into like google or safari or whatever and just look around, often there is a reddit thread that tells you where the movie is or like a random youtube video with the movie in it, i altso reccomend going on like amazon or something and bying the dvd of it cuz theres usually a dvd for the film. i think if you look hard enough it will eventuaally appear. good luck :P

Sounds like the movie the actor is featured in is fading into obscurity; worse being a lost media. I hate to break it to you. You either pay a hefty sum for a physical copy or consult to a piracy website. 

There's also likely it's region locked or not licensed to be streamed in Netflix. If you want to find the movie through legal means but can't find a service to watch it. Physical copy it is :v

I like to collect physical media of pretty much everything and I think the worst has to be "28 Days Later". Finding even an old used DVD that wasnt too expensive was super difficult

I would recommend possibly checking your local library (specifically their catalog/Worldcat, which would allow you to request items out of the system)! Libraries have a lot of films that are not readily found on streaming, etc.... I work at a library and we have a lot of older things and more indie stuff that falls into that category. The Internet Archive is also really good for movies and stuff too! And maybe YouTube too, some ppl may have uploaded stuff there
