Social media led me to an article entitled, Popular Movies That Aren’t Available to Stream Anywhere. Yes, I took the time to capitalize all the major words in that title because the Associated Press standard is stupid. Anyway, it’s an interesting list, and I’m sure you’ll sympathize with a lot of their choices. However, there’s one movie that isn’t on this list, probably because it isn’t that popular, but it’s one I wish I could find on a streaming service.

I Love You to Death

I Love You to Death was released in 1990. The “black comedy”, which was based on a true story, instantly became one of my favorite movies. The movie centers on an unfaithful husband, Joey, and his wife, Rosalie. When Rosalie discovers Joey has been cheating on her, she tries to kill him. For the record, the real “Rosalie” (Francis Toto of Allentown, Pennsylvania) spent four years in jail for attempted murder, but the couple is still married to this day.

The cast was incredible, led by Tracey Ullman, Kevin Kline (one of my favorite actors), Keanu Reeves (“Deliver us from freedom.”), the late William Hurt, and the late River Phoenix. Heather Graham and Phoebe Cates are also in it. As far as I know, it was Tracey Ullman’s only leading role in a motion picture. I could be wrong, but she did a great job in this one.

The trailer is here. You can buy or rent it here. I decided to buy it.
