Historically, IMDB used to provide a "Where to Watch" section when searching a film.

Out of curiosity from another thread I was IMDB'ing some of the titles and noticed that this section was no longer within the description of the film.

Personally, I found this pretty useful especially if I wanted to watch said film after being recommended/reading about it.

Subsequently, I googled a website called Justwatch which apparently told you where you could watch these films. Out of the many films listed only one showed up on this website.

My question is - what do people 'go to' when they have been recommended a film/read about a film to find out where to stream/rent/buy digitally and from what platform? Unless I'm missing something very silly I loved that section within IMDB.

Thanks.

Watching this carefully. I also used to find the IMDB prompt useful.....although TBF, it generally only pointed to Netflix or Amazon (or what I searched for anyway).

All the streaming services are competitors of course and some content bounces around between them.

I start with an Amazon search then to Netflix but often find content on Sky or lately on YouTube.
