I share my movie library with family members, and have purchased a movie for them to watch. However, they have been able to watch the movie before of my library however now it requires them to purchase it. Are certain movies not allowing family share?

Family Sharing: Share movies, not payment? I have family sharing. I want my family to have access to my movies I bought on apple. However, I do not want payment sharing as my family is not a group of children, but rather adults who need to be able to designate other credit cards to cover other purchases. Why is this so complicated? Is there a way share purchases but not payments?

Why would you want to pay for the same thing twice? Surely you have enabled purchase sharing for precisely this reason. If and when you stop sharing purchases you can buy that item if you really want your own copy. Or you can temporarily disable purchase sharing to make the individual purchase now.
