Just curious about this -

If I want to watch The Godfather, what service do I use to push play?

My son is two, but in a few years, he'll be ready to watch Star Wars. What service do I use to show it to him?

If these movies (and others) aren't available on Netflix or any other streaming service and the old video stores are gone, where do I get movies from?

Paying $29 for a blu-ray is an option, but frick that option.

This is the big problem with cutting up licenses. Tracking down content is going to get harder and harder.

Hopefully the Roku's and Microsofts of the world start finding ways to build searches and queues directly into their products. They can do it with channels and clearly downloaded content. But it's hard to do it with streaming content. Legally.

iTunes Store.

For Star Wars, I would seriously consider torrenting the "De-Specialized" Version that a fan has been putting together over the past few years. LINK

This is a reconstruction of the 1977 theatrical version of STAR WARS. The original shots were painstakingly restored using various sources (listed below) and the film received an extensive shot by shot colour correction based on a fade free 1977 I.B. Technicolor Print.

The remastered (v2.0) version represents a significant improvement in picture quality over the earlier version.

Version v2.1 further improves upon the previous version mainly by refining the color correction but also by replacing many of the despecialized shots with higher quality ones.

Version v2.5 offers few more little tweaks to the picture and contains an unprecedented number of audio options, including lossless DTS-HD tracks for the original mixes, an isolated score, four different commentary tracks and dubbing tracks in ten different languages and dialects.
