Or if new releases weren’t your cup of tea, you could skip to the last part (sans the longing for the new release that wasn’t meant to be). Even though you didn’t always get the movie you wanted, this was a far simpler time. Leap forward to today when a consumer is lucky if they can name all of the available digital video services.
