It’s a 4.5 - 5 star (out of 5) flick, not exactly unknown, and damned near impossible to find unless you want to buy it. I don’t want to buy it, I want to watch it and then forget I ever saw it (again). Netflix doesn’t even seem to know what it is!

I blame Dick Cheney and especially that sumbitch John Ashcroft…

Unworthy of CS because I don’t care to discuss the movie even though It’s got Alan Rickman as a saccharine version of Severus Snape.  
Unworthy of The Pit because I’m a little drunk and, well, irritated but not completely pissed off. Fury of three Easy Bake ovens, tops.

Now I gotta watch Stripes. Ok, maybe I am pretty drunk, because that sounds like a pretty good time…

Uh… did _YOU_ try looking for it on a _TUBE_ of some sort?

Oooh, look at tricky me, avoiding the mods by hiding a secret message!  
Seriously tho, YouTube is legal isn’t it? Isn’t it?

It would be trivial to watch this particular movie without paying for it. Not that I would advocate such a thing. Just noting that it is indeed easily possible.
