Movies that have Netflix pages but are not searchable
What is up with pages for movies that are no longer searchable in Netflix but still have pages with user reviews?
For example, Khuda Kay Liye.
I wonder how common this is. I understand it is Unavailable as far as Netflix is concerned, but people still might want to read the reviews. The movie pages should not be orphaned.
UPDATE: Just want to note that as of today 8/29, this particular movie is no longer orphaned and now appears with a Add button instead of a Not Available button. I still hope this can be resolved in general. No orphaned movies, please!

I see what you mean, they should still be search able even if unavailable.

It is kind of Twilight Zone-ish but reviewers have the option of reposting their reviews on movie pages that are current. I have the same issue with Blade Runner: Theatre Version now that Director's Cut and Final Cut are out, however, I plan to write separate reviews for each edition since they are different movies.
I keep an extensive Unavailable list that I document in a separate discussion thread and in my Community weblog but let me post an excerpt here from today's entry:
Unavailable titles that became Add titles this week:
Hellcats in High Heels
The Great Debaters: Bonus Materials
Adventures of Scamper
Current number of titles in my Unavailable list: 382
Use this list to find titles that no longer come up in Search or Recommendations and to request Netflix to restock titles it has dropped (using the Title Request link under Contact Us).

I now have two Unavailable title lists (since I have confirmed 430 to be pretty much the upper limit in list size) totalling 760 titles, however, 100 of the links no longer come up as identifiable pages since they have been purged from the system.
