5 Great Movies Not On Streaming – How To Buy

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse

For a long time, you could stream this film on Netflix. Once it left Netflix, it was nowhere to be found. It’s shocking, especially with the much anticipated sequel coming out this year. Definitely worth a buy, especially if you have kids!

Buy It: On Amazon for $11.89 on Blu-Ray

Dogma

Dogma is one of my favorite Kevin Smith movies. The cast is awesome, the story is hilarious, as well as clever. It boggles my mind that you can’t stream this anywhere!

Buy It: On Amazon for $26.98 on DVD

The Abyss

It’s shocking that James Cameron’s The Abyss is not streaming anywhere. Considering his popularity, as well as the new Avatar film, it feels like now would be a prime moment to get this bad boy on some streaming service!

Buy It: On Amazon for $17.99 on DVD

The Basketball Diaries

This is a surprising one for me. How can this movie not be streamed anywhere? I loved this movie growing up. Leonardo DiCaprio is absolutely fabulous and there are so many other great actors in this film. I already own this one on DVD.

Buy It: On Amazon for $14.29 on Blu-Ray

Cocoon

Another shocking film that can’t be streamed, by the great Ron Howard too. It’s a fun take on the fountain of youth with friendly Aliens.

Buy It: On Amazon for $19.43 on Blu-Ray
