Netflix Diversifies Content with 'Milestone Movies' Collection

The streaming giant shifts strategy, curating classic films from 1974 with plans for similar collections from 1984, 1994, and 2004.

Netflix has launched a new dedicated section for films from 1974, called 'Milestone Movies', featuring 14 classic films new to the platform.
The collection is part of a larger initiative, with Netflix planning similar collections for films from 1984, 1994, and 2004 to be released in April, July, and October respectively.
The move is seen as a shift in Netflix's strategy, which has largely focused on original programming in recent years.
Many of the films in the new collection have previously been available on other streaming services, but not ones that are commonly subscribed to.
Netflix's decision comes amid a recent spike in interest in classic films, following concerns over cuts at Turner Classic Movies.
