It's not even doing a good job of that, though. The other day someone mentioned the 1990 movie "Taking Care of Business" with Jim Belushi and Charles Grodin. It's a pretty unremarkable movie, but I remembered liking it as a kid for whatever reason and wanted to see it again.

Of course, it's not on any of the four streaming services I pay for (I'm outside the US so ymmv). And why? Why is the studio hoarding access to this film that probably stopped making them money decades ago when they could just lease out the streaming rights and make something of it?

I would kind of love it if there were a modern day TNT / TBS / USA that had all the movies you half-remembered from long ago, but Hollywood can't get their heads out of their asses long enough in the scramble for each individual property to have its own streaming service to pick up literal free money that is just sitting there.
