delve deep into most directors filmography from the 60s/70s/80s and you'll find plenty missing. Ken Russell, Robert Altman, etc

You have to go pretty deep though for the record. At least, using one of your examples, for Altman if you look at his top 25 films on Letterboxd, 20 of them are available to rent or stream online. And for me at least the other five I can get at the library. There are none that are totally unavailable of those 25.

Yep. I watch a lot of movies and TV shows from the 60s and below, and they are often not available to stream legitimately anywhere, and the only option is the occasional DVD release on Amazon which is hit or miss.
