Once again, and owing to my TCM-centric watching of older movies, it's Warners Bros. and MGM in the top two spots for movies I've seen.
My theory about the business model of these channels is originally they were developed to promote home video sales. In the 80s, people would watch CASABLANCA on AMC then buy the VHS. In the 90s and 2000s, people would watch CASABLANCA on TCM then buy the DVD and the Blu-Ray.
Now we've entered more of the streaming age, so we are seeing spinoff platforms online like the Criterion Channel which also help keep some of these titles in the public eye.
But there are many titles that have become obscure and don't receive airplay and some have never had home video releases. One title that comes to mind is the neglected Paramount film I LOVE A SOLDIER (1944) in which we have marvelous performances from Paulette Goddard, Beulah Bondi and Barry Fitzgerald. It's fallen through the cracks and deserves to be rediscovered. |
