Movies that are difficult to come by that shouldn't be

I watched "Ernest Goes to Camp" all the time as a kid and it was the best Ernest movie and I want to show it to my kids, but for some reason, its the only Ernest movie I cant find widely available. Ernest goes to the Army, Africa, Jail, Scared Stupid, Saves Chirstmas....all readily available, but for some reason "Goes to Camp" can only be ordered on DVD....what gives?
Any others that you find difficult to find?

Without looking up the details I think it's called Going All the Way with Ben Affleck and Jeremy Davies. Saw it once on cable years ago, liked it, never seen it on TV again

I had a really hard time finding Whiplash for a while. I hadn't seen it but knew it was held in extremely high regard.
I finally saw it pop up on Starz earlier this year. Watched it immediately and loved it.

Search for the Nile
Miniseries
Produced by BBC, won awards, highly acclaimed.
No idea why its never been released beyond bootleg VHS home video transfers on YouTube. Its on PAL and that took 40 years. Still can't get it in US format.
To sum up what I mean, here's an IMDB review from a another bewildered fan:
The Search for the Nile and have been unable to find this series in spite of the fact that it won the Golden Globe Award best TV special 1973. I have checked all university video libraries, the Smithsonian library, public libraries, all video sources even the BBC. No one has this series. WHY Why has it been pulled from all sources?
The answer? Might come from this review.
Finding the source of the Nile is one of the greatest exploration achievements but since it happened during Colonial times, stories of history are banned.

The Search for the Nile was a very ambitious project for the BBC in 1971. It features a good deal of location shooting and the results are certainly impressive. documentary-style historical drama about African exploration is in its own way an astonishing television achievement.
Even more astonishing is that it’s not an exercise in political correctness. It deals with colonialism in a complex and nuanced way. It also deals with slavery but the slavers encountered here are Arabs and Africans.

True Lies. Its weird that such a popular movie is not available to stream or purchase anywhere it seems but in the used DVD or bootleg market.

Huh, I actually see that one a lot. It was available on Starz recently (might still be) and HBO before that. Also has had runs where it was the movie of the month on AMC.
There was a period when I was in college where one of my roommates and I were watching parts or all of True Lies almost every night.

It’s on Disney+ now but I remember having a hard time finding Heavyweights fairly recently

Yes it comes and goes but right now I cant find it anywhere which I think is a bit odd especially no physical media.

Is there a bigger movie than True Lies that has never been released on blu ray?

Was coming to post.
I can’t even remember the last time I saw the OG version with the shite demon because when it used to run on (I think) Comedy Central they had that scene edited out.
