I don't use Netflix that often (mainly just for the Marvel shows) but I wouldn't be surprised if many of the archive movies uploaded to there are only the US releases rather than international or uncut versions.
Only true way to get those cuts will still be on physical media. I’m pretty sure a lot of movies like that would be made from new print and since there is no theatrical release there is no reason to stick with censored versions. They don’t scan 40 year old theatrical prints to put on Netflix. That being said, none of these kinds of movies will be streaming on Netflix in any condition. Their Classics section only has about 40 movies in it and that includes stuff like Schindler’s List and Breakfast Club. Almost nothing b/w at all. They aren’t going to have the entire Goolies or Spit in Your Grave runs, if you know what I mean.

I’m joking, there are no cities in Warren county. It has only 40k people in its 900 square miles. 40k is like the town I live in. Natural gas lines are 2 blocks away and we just got a card in the mail 1 year after living here asking if we want to pay to get hooked up to the natural gas lines. Internet is mediocre at best. Its a step up from dial up, we can stream but not much, only snippets on youtube. Faster internet lines don't come this far down state and we are a 3 hr drive to NYC.........

The largest town near me still has a video store amazingly, that gets by through stuff like selling retro gaming hardware and hosting Magic card players and other odds and ends in addition to selling/renting DVD and VHS still. There is a bit of the retro craze for VHS with genres like horror collectors and such so tapes have some buyers (that place is the final evolution of an owner who absorbed a few video rental stores back in the day, so they must have some decent inventory on tape). On the topic of rural Internet speeds - I live rural, at least 4 miles from the telco central office, so I have felt lucky to get 3mb DSL compared to horrors like HughesNet (pure masochism) or dialup (it still lives for some poor souls - modern bloated web must be near unusable). A few months back, I noticed new cables being run alongside the telco wiring on the poles, and a guy in a tent splicing stuff plus new junction boxes on poles. They are actually running fiber for a FiOS network, I found It's unbelievable that the sort of gigabit Internet I remember reading about the Japanese having has finally made it out to the last place on Earth I expected. The idea of a fiber drop to the house and fiber network interface is so space age. Not even sure what I will do with 100s of mbs speed, but definitely not complaining It will probably be cheaper than my copper service even.
