10 Sad Substitutes for Hits You Can’t Stream on Netflix

Last week, Netflix streaming said goodbye to Starz content, a loss that has significantly pared down its online offerings.

While Starz movies only made up about 1,000 of the streaming options, they were anywhere from 2% to 8% of the content streamed by users. That’s still a pretty significant chunk, which means those looking for favorites like Toy Story 3 and other Pixar classics, horror movies like Scream, or series like Party Down will need to find something else to watch.

When your favorite flick is not available, Netflix offers some suggestions. Not all of the alternatives quite hold a candle to the missing movies.

So if you’re looking for something to watch this evening, check out our list of replacements in the gallery above. On the left you’ll see the movie that is no longer available on streaming, on the right the film that is still on Netflix.

Note: Not all of these movies have been lost during the Starz deal’s evaporation, but are examples of streaming content that Netflix has struggled to hold onto licenses for.
