Even if they don't release anything, wtf. There is a huge back catalogue of movies I want to rewatch and stuff I've never seen. I can't remember a single time I searched for a classic movie I wanted to watch and found it on Netflix streaming. Those movies were often available through Netflix DVD though! Enshitification indeed.
I use Justwatch to figure out where films and shows are, and even then it's grim how many aren't available to stream, or even buy legally.
At that point you should honestly just pirate it so that a copy continues to exist.
I've done that for my Jellyfin server, but some things are too rare and niche to be sure of results unfortunately.
