Hard to find/lost movies

Xofpod

Hi folks,

Setting up this thread in the hope that people on here might be able to help each other out in tracking down movies that are proving difficult to find. In my own case I've been trying for a while to track down two particular movies - 80s/90s stuff, American, not particularly obscure I would have thought. I checked the streamers, library, most of the major online retailers. I presume there's an issue with rights or something. Just to clarify - I'm not interested in collectors editions or "alternative sources" on the internet, as I've often found these to be poor quality (although if there's absolutely no other alternative.....). Anyway, what I'm trying to find is:

-Nightbreed, 1990, schlocky horror/fantasy, directed by Clive Barker (adapted from his own novel)

-After Hours, 1985, Scorsese, comedy/thriller - I'm particularly surprised by this one as I would have thought it would be easily available.

Hopefully there's a simple option I'm overlooking but grateful for any steers.

Please throw in any of your own requests into the thread and hopefully we can help each other out.

Nightbreed is available on the free version Peacock in the US so maybe try Peacock here.

It's also on Roku & Tubi free streaming services if you go on holiday to the US.

After Hours is available to rent on Apple TV here for €3.99 or to buy for €8.99.

Justwatch is a great site to see where movies and TV series are available and what service they are on if any.

You can swtich between Countries at the bottom of the page to see if they are available elsewhere other than Ireland.

iTunes and YouTube tend to be a good source for fairly cheap rentals - both have After Hours at the moment.

Nightbreed has an Arrow Blu-Ray that's only a tenner or so on Amazon at the moment. I know you said no collector's editions, but physical media is still a great source for 'rarities', and outside of the more expensive likes of Criterion, tends to be very affordable (and permanent!).

Cheers. I checked out Justwatch - on another poster's suggestion - and it seemed to say that it was not available to stream on Apple TV. I'll have to play around with that site properly.

Outstanding. I'll be getting that.

Watched this with the brother last night, the train ride from hell in New York, made in 1967 and Martin Sheen's debut, brilliant and worth a watch. The Incident.

Got it, watched it. Not brilliant to be honest but the itch is now scratched. Also, there's a load of extras on the DVD which I'll get around to watching, and may be better than the movie.

Cheers for the steer.
