It's pretty stuunning how often I'll encounter an assigned title that is not available to stream/electronically rent anywhere. In those situations, I've had the most success in using...the Public Library*. I've been stunned how many movies are (Still) available at the libraries in my county and online card catalogues makes it easy to locate these.
*The exception is NC-17 movies. I was SOL when the number generator assigned The Cook, the Thief, his Wife, and her Lover (not available to stream). That one is apparently too spicy for free public consumption.
Great discussion.
