Movies that cost money

[Mandofred]

Why....just why.....do you still have to pay money to watch Doc Savage? It's a truly horrible movie (which I like).....is there some behind the scenes reason why these types of movies are for money only? I look for some movies occasionally....really old and NOT popular....and you can only watch them if you pay for them.

Well, to be fair, all the movies cost money. If on Sky, by your Sky, Netflix, Amazon, etc. by subscription, if on BBC by the licence fee. If on ITV, by the advertising.
If it's on Sky, just wait a bit as it will come available without extra charge eventually. Otherwise channels like TCM, Sony, Paramount are great places for finding films like these.

Yes....I understand that movies are paid for. My point....some movies like Rio Bravo are on every day (and dam* it, I still watch it), and other movies just disappear.....never seen again.....unless you want to pay for them. Doc Savage.....really? It sucked. It's a terrible movie...... what's the theory here? Is there something with terrible movies that only pay off if someone will pay to watch them again?
