Looking at the movies on the Internet Archive and some of them look ok. Selection isnโt as bad as I thought.
Some of them are a no thanks for me but there seem to be a few cult movies on there
Edit: There are still a few rare ones (Sympathy For Mr Vengeance, Lone Wolf And Cub) ~~and Beetlejuice~~. But a lot of the entries for the ones I wanted to check out first (classic slashers) mostly consist of crud like podcasts discussing them, soundtracks, trailers, art etc. Angery.
Still not succumbing to the subscription streaming bullshit though. I just want to go back to the days of Blockbuster, where I could rent 5 weekly videos for $10 and heat up a frozen pizza to eat while I watchโฆ
