One drawback to the current trend of streaming movies is that I'm less inclined to watch movies on DVD. For instance, on twitter I asked for suggestions for heist/con-artist movies (a genre I have a weakness for). People replied with some good suggestions, including ones that are well-regarded like Rififi. The problem is, it's not streaming and I don't want to watch a well-done heist movie in five days, I want it now.
In all likelihood, I'll peruse what's available on the streaming Netflix and settle for that. I won't bother adding Rififi to my queue and life goes on. I certainly can't be alone in my behavior so one can only imagine how many hours are spent watching so-so movies because their superior cousins are tied up in some licensing problem or rights squabble or whathave you.
Can anyone recommend a good heist/con-artist movie currently available on streaming? I'll even settle for Hulu.
