Seen On FilmStruck/Criterion Channel
10-26-18 Update
FilmStruck will be cancelled on 11-29-18. This makes me sad, and pretty disappointed. I love this streaming service. I might have to restart my dvd.com account. Commence movie marathon!
Films expire from FilmStruck fairly quickly. I look at their "Say Adieu" list to see which titles are expiring soonest and I watch any of those I am interested in first, so these titles are likely no longer available but this should give everyone an idea of the variety Filmstruck carries. Many of these I never thought I'd have the chance to see. I may not necessarily recommend each of these films, I just want to track how many I've seen using Filmstruck.
