5-movies-no-digital-purchaseYou can get almost any movie in Digital HD these days, but there are a few popular and highly-ranked titles that just aren’t available digitally (legally, at least). To find these elusive titles, we searched through “Best of Film” lists from Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB, then cross-referenced the titles with Amazon Video, Apple iTunes, and Vudu to confirm their unavailability in digital format. Out of a few hundred films, we could only come up with five.

Apocalypto (2006)
