I could watch The Godfather, Goodfellas, Patton, The Shining, Barton Fink and Millers Crossing a million times without getting tired of them and if I’m just flipping channels will always stop to watch if one of them is on.

But I don’t think I’ve ever streamed any of them other than maybe to show a friend who hadn’t seen them.

Don’t know why that is, but it’s weirdly true.

Theory: When you come across a movie you love on TV, it's already in the "good bits".

Where as on streaming you have find it, sit through 2 or 3 studio logos, and then 5-15 minutes of exposition that even in most good movies isn't that good.
