There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc

My card got targeted too but thankfully the transaction was flagged, declined, and the card deactivated.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s home-grown style
Lokesh Kanagaraj, the director of ‘Master’, ‘Kaithi’ and ‘Vikram’, owes as much to Selvamani and Aabavanan as Scorsese or Tarantino
