Half of the movies you listed have been either on one of the platforms you listed or have rotated around the different platforms, at least in the US. Netflix even had the black and white version available when I watched it.
It's that platform juggling that rankles me about this streaming system, and the constant price hikes of the streaming services themselves, as well as the fact that sometimes as part of the juggling something's just not available on the evening you and your partner want to watch something you liked. It's the type of shit that has me shopping for a bluray player because WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING AROUND HERE, JUST LET ME OWN AND ENJOY THE MOVIES I LIKE FUCK
