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

Man buys an acid tab. Goes home and leaves it on the kitchen table. Goes upstairs. Comes back down later and it's disappeared. Says to his Mum "have you seen my tablet?" Mum says "never mind your tablet. There's a dragon on the shed."
