The film you're looking for isn't available because those who have the legal rights to it haven't made it available; they may not know they have the rights well enough to do so, or the rights might be scattered around multiple possible locations.
I've heard of a lot of authors who are not ALLOWED to have their rights back, but those who contracted to sell the books won't offer the book.
Maybe a solution to the failure-to-make-available-in-physical-form problem will help?
This is one of the reasons I wrote Relics (a short prequel to Threading the Needle) with this situation in mind. And also something else: the retconning. Han shot first! Tell that to 20-somethings today and some won't have a clue. Fools compare docudramas about the Romanovs with GoT by saying "this is just like GoT." No, you potato, it's the other way around. It's like this not just with irrelevancies like SW and GoT but with history as well. We are being conditioned to only trust what's on the screen in front of us. I can tell you as a communism survivor, even if you were there, even if you lived it, there will be people who will insist that your lived experience wasn't so.
I love digital myself, saves space, I never lose things (like your list with the name of the movie you’re looking for)... it’s like having a second brain I can access from anywhere, and it has a search function. My productivity and creativity have improved immensely since I went completely digital. I even journal on my iPad now.
But I do love that on rifftrax, you can download a burn file to create your own discs whenever you wish (though they do still over discs for sale now and then). This has apparently been a good idea as they've gone back and "changed" some riffs of late.
Anyway, given how cheap the actual physical part of the physical media is nowadays, I kind of wish more sites/stores/whomever would offer you the ability to just buy a file that you can then burn onto a physical form.
Or we can go really nerdy and talk about setting up your own plex server... XD
Wonderfully written.
You touch on a related problem-- the memory hole.

> All of them are due to the fact that I know just how fragile digital media can be and too often is,
Paper is also fragile. The Babylonians had the right idea with using clay tablets.

Must... not... rant...
