When I was working on a movie's online presence, one of the things that was noted in the guidelines and advice is that when a movie has to compete with a library of other titles, especially old ones, you're going to have a hard time. The industry doesn't want Netflix to be the place you primarily subscribe just to watch a catalogue of old favorites, they want you to watch what they just put out. They don't need to make an additional $2 mil with some old James Bond film, they want to make that money with the new one, so it pushes for an additional installment, awards, and acclaim.
It is the kind of demand that has poisoned the music industry with reissues, remasters, new collections of work that's about to expire, etc, etc.
I'm the kind of person who'd rather wait and save money to be honest. I take a long time to read a book as it is.
