Streaming exclusives
by JetFred | created - 04 May 2022 | updated - 1 month ago | PublicThis is a list of movies and series I would buy, but they are streaming-only releases. Some are because they are related to directors I like. Others are remakes of or sequels to titles I have. A few simply feature actors or topics I like, but I can usually let that stuff go. You can see I'm frustrated by Disney's streaming-only handling of the MCU and Star Wars franchises.
