Or at least I assume she stars in, I haven't seen any of these movies but she is in the thumbnail for each.

It's great people are celebrating O'Hara's legacy. But this feels a bit icky to me? Netflix clearly bought the rights/added these movies to their catalogue because of her death, knowing more people would be looking to watch her stuff. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, a corporation doing corporation things, but I was just taken aback by how blatant it was.
TV channels and movie theaters have been doing exactly this for about a long as movies have existed.

I really don't understand why people have so much irrational hate on Netflix.
