Anyone know where I can find “The Straight Story?” It’s not on Netflix.

Thx

Your local library may have it. If they don’t, they can get it for you, by either ordering it directly, or interlibrary loan.

Wonderful movie, BTW.

$2.99 to stream online, a used DVD on amazon is about $8.

If you don’t want to spend that, the library may have a copy. I seriously doubt redbox would.

This. I watched it on DVD from Netflix just a couple years ago.
