Dracula , what services do you have? Will do my research tonight. I have Netflix (both streaming and discs), Hulu, Amazon Prime until 6/11, and Comcast VOD. I would say don't worry too much about availibility, just make a list and I'll let you know if I have any issues.

Wow, I've actually seen all of those -- Vertigo's in my All-Time Top 10, and The Apartment and Before Sunrise are both great.
New list, please?

New list, please? I thought I'd throw you with the Billy Wilder but I am impressed. I guess I should also ask what services you have available as well before throwing things your way.

During 2012 and 2013, I went through the whole AFI Top 100 (1998 edition, I believe), so I caught a lot of classics that way.
Anyway, I have access to: Netflix, Prime (with a Starz subscription), Hulu (with HBO, Cinemax and Showtime), Disney+, CBS All Access, The Roku Channel and now HBO Max.
Same goes for you -- what do you have?

I've got access to a lot, hit me with a list and I'll let you know if I have trouble getting anything.
Do you have Amazon Prime perchance?

I guess I'm doing Eat My Dust since it's the only one I can watch without paying for. You couldn't recommend me a Ron Howard movie available to stream? Splash, Willow, The Missing, Cinderella Man? Splash and Willow are on Disney+. Backdraft is on Amazon Prime. I’ll watch two Billy Wilder movies if you watch Eat My Dust and one of the Ron Howard directed movies on a streaming service. I’ll watch THREE Billy Wilder movies if you do a video essay on Ron Howard.

Backdraft should be on Bill Simmons' Rewatchables podcast.

Literally all of these sound so, so good. Ultimately, though, I think I'll go with...Apocalypto. That one's been on my To See list for a long time. Though the rest are certainly going on my Amazon Watchlist.
For you:

For you:
They're all great, you should add each one to your ASAP watch list. I'll go with Widows, I've also been meaning to watch that for a while.

Backdraft should be on Bill Simmons' Rewatchables podcast. If PG Cooper wants to watch Backdraft, more power to him, but I don’t think he’ll like it. He’s Generation Z. He wouldn’t be impressed by the special effects like we were. Splash has the Tom Hanks factor. Willow has the George Lucas factor. But if PG Cooper were willing to spend a little cash, I think he’d enjoy Far And Away. That seems like his cup of tea. Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman as Irish people trying to make it in America. Social commentary. Epic filmmaking. There’s that horse race at the end. John Williams doing the score. Tom Cruise bareknuckle fighting. But whatever. We'll save it for PhantomKnight. I'll go with Widows, I've also been meaning to watch that for a while. The Black Steve McQueen one? I have that on my DVR. I’ll save it for my next round with PhantomKnight.

The first three in particular.

I guess I’ll make Doomsday happy with Double Indemnity.

Also, skink, I'll try to watch Shoplifters and/or Ball of Fire tomorrow. I'd say today but it's my partner's birthday and I caught imagine "Babe, we gotta watch a movie for my online film club" is gonna impress her.
