Why Streaming Services Should Group Movies By Decades

Nearly every streaming service groups TV shows and movies by genre. Paramount+ even has what they call Collections, which group movies and TV shows belonging to a specific franchise (for example, Star Trek) or which share a common theme (for example, "Leading Ladies"). Unfortunately, I can't think of a single streaming service that sorts TV shows and moves by decades, not even the Watch TCM app. Nearly all of them have "Classics" among their genres, but "Classics" often include everything from silent movies from the Twenties to comedies from the Naughts. At any rate, I think streaming services should sort TV shows and movies by decade.

The reason this is important to me is that there are times when I don't know what I want to watch outside of that I want to watch something from a particularly decade. Indeed, it is no secret that I love comedies from the Sixties and more often than not I will look for them on streaming services. The problem is that they are sometimes hard to find. A perfect example of this is Tubi. I have watched a ton of Sixties comedies on Tubi, and yet Sixties comedies are almost never recommended to me. I often find myself having to trudge through "Comedies" or "Classics" to find them. If Tubi sorted TV shows or movies by decade, it would make things much easier. I could simply click on "1960s" and I would be ready to go.

I have to think that I am not the only person who would like to be able to browse TV shows and movies on streaming services by decade. I know my classic movie friends would certainly like to. There are those who prefer Pre-Code movies. There are those who prefer movies made in the Forties. It would be easier for them if they could simply view movies from these decades all together. I doubt any streaming services will implement anything like this soon, but it would make me very happy if they did.
