    One of my favorite things to do with my partner is watch the amazing movies that they have here. You can never get bored looking through this collection and what’s amazing is new movies are cycled through all the time all of which are quality.

    Despite the price, this is my go to for movies. I love how they rotate through the catalog and regularly add rare movies every month. In recent years they have gone harder into genre and I can always find some trashy fun alongside the art house stuff.
  • Great Service

    Still my favorite service for movies. There are so many international classics here, but there’s so much here that’s unsung and under-appreciated. Every month the programming does a great job of highlighting movies (often smaller indie movies or movies from directors or parts of the world that don’t get much attention) that I would not have been aware of otherwise
  • The best streaming app!
