Streaming has contributed a great deal to the prevailing theory that everything you could possibly want is just a few clicks away. Think of a movie, and you can load it up on Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, or any other streaming service to watch it. And if it isn't in any of those places, you could always go to Apple or Amazon to rent it. Unfortunately, this could not be further from the truth. The amount of films completely unavailable on a digital platform is incalculable. You would assume that the movies you can't see would most likely be small, independent films that never got proper distribution, but there are a ton of critically acclaimed, and even Oscar-nominated pictures with major movie stars that were distributed by Hollywood studios that you simply cannot find.

Costa-Gavras’ superlative political thriller begins with a skeptical attitude, but soon pulls viewers into the depth and breadth of a monstrous political crime aided and abetted by our own U.S. government. Sissy Spacek and Jack Lemmon headline a strong cast, in a story that our State Department called a pack of lies — until the truth became undeniable.

Muhammad Ali books, articles and films constitute a mini-genre in their own right. Heavyweight authors and journalists from George Plimpton and Norman Mailer to Gay Talese, David Remnick, Thomas Hauser and Hugh McIlvanney have written extensively about him. There have been several biopics (including 1977's The Greatest, in which the boxer played himself in very arch fashion, and Michael Mann's Ali from 2001, in which he was played by Will Smith) and documentaries about his most famous bouts. Most recently, Ang Lee has been developing a 3D movie about Ali's 1975 fight with Joe Frazier, the so-called "Thrilla in Manila".

Sissy Spacek and Jack Lemmon in Missing
Photo: Universal Pictures Adapted from Thomas Hauser's book of the same name Missing won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1983 and was nominated for Actor, Actress and Picture as well. The film tells the story of a father who flies down to an unnamed South American country (known to be Chile) to search for his missing son during a time of civil unrest. If the film was trying to get any specific political message across it never quite hits home even though a jab at American involvement in Chile is quite obvious. Instead it comes across more as a family piece as a man and his daughter-in-law are able to set aside their personal and political beliefs in an attempt to find Charles Horman (John Shea), the missing member of their family. Jack Lemmon stars as the father, Ed Horman, with...

Jack Lemmon was perhaps the quintessential Everyman of American cinema, a reliably earnest, down-to-earth performer who was equally good at playing the put-upon hero in Billy Wilder comedies and embodying an average, relatable guy in dramas like The China Syndrome or Glengarry Glen Ross. So it's especially heartbreaking to watch Lemmon's performance in Costa-Gavras' Missing, which casts him as a conservative American businessman who searches, with mounting disillusionment, for a son that disappeared in the midst of a bloody Latin American putsch. While there's an element of left-wing fantasy in Lemmon's conversion from unquestioning patriot to newly awakened skeptic of U.S. covert activities, Lemmon's emotional directness, driven by a need simply to find answers, makes that transition entirely plausible. Within this decent citizen lies the conscience of a nation. Based on Thomas Hauser's book The Execution Of Charles Horman, Missing takes place in an unnamed Latin American country,...
