I hope they offer shows that are not available on DVD. What's the point of offering old school films if those already exist on DVD? "Dawn of the Dead", i have this movie of DVD. This where many will be disappointed any others happy. Mixed options with uprise, but good got on the effort though.

"Dawn of the Dead" isn't available, the idea was conceived by the guy known for writing it. These are short films not available on DVD, I'm guessing anywhere from 20 minute films to about 45 min, an hour MAX.
