Self-promotion (of sorts), but I (with some friends) have been watching lots
of movies and keeping globally ordered rankings on github here:

I find globally ordered rankings of movies to be an interesting exercise of

Minor instruction to make it work for me:

pip3 install BeautifulSoup pip3 install mechanize mkdir data

Guess you can check data directory but not sure about the pip3, python does
not like R I am not sure and can it pip3 install when not exist....

Only three movies in the past fourty years, non past 87, is surprising. Is
Prime that full of older content or did Ebert's recommendations just stop
coming from major studios?

Thanks, but that doesn't explain why Prime doesn't have any released after 87.

I'm having a hard time coming up with the data to confirm this theory but
1986/1987 seems to me to be the peak of both VHS sales and the bottom of VCR
prices.

I assume from that many studios had to come up with their first licensing
schemes for movies "for home use" (contrary to movie theater and broadcast
use), which could potentially still apply to (and restrict) streaming.
