:-( I've been a subscriber nearly from the start and I've watched hundreds of movies via this service. It is a tragedy simply because so much content is not available any other way or a myriad of disparate streaming services that I am not going to subscribe to. There was a good article about this topic in the WSJ from a few months ago [0]. As the article states:

"This month the Washington Post’s Ty Burr reminds us of some movies we can’t stream: “Cocoon” (1985), directed by Ron Howard, “Short Cuts” (1993) by Robert Altman, “New York, New York” (1977) by Martin Scorsese, “Henry & June” (1990) by Philip Kaufman and “Silkwood” (1983) by Mike Nichols."

The only silver lining is I am probably going to start exploring the Kanopy catalog more which may be available via your local public library.
