Re: May Criterion Channel line-up
TERMS OF ENDEARMENT is listed as one of the movies that The Criterion Channel is streaming as part of its "Starring Shirley MacLaine" collection, but the movie is not there. https://i.imgur.com/0EnlzwVl.png It will be added June 1st. I don't think Criterion can add it until then because i...

Re: May Criterion Channel line-up
Due to your earlier post here, I was going to mention Never Been Kissed, which is a charming light comedy, probably one of Drew Barrymore's best vehicles. And Topsy-Turvy is a wonderful film . I made this list of my own personal 1999 favorites out of 77 films seen a few weeks ago. 1 The Straight St...

Re: May Criterion Channel line-up
No AMERICAN PIE ? No CRUEL INTENTIONS ? No SHE'S ALL THAT ??? Those are the movies that define 1999 cinematically, for me anyway. As a teenager in the 90s I used to watch She's All That and Cruel Intentions all the time. 10 Things I Hate about You was another great teen movie from 1999. I never rea...

Re: Streaming on Criterion in April.
Where can you see the list of movies that are leaving Criterion Channel at the end of the month? I couldn't find a spot with a general link, but here's one for April: https://www.criterionchannel.com/leaving-april-30 There is no general link for movies expiring at the end of every month. The link c...

Re: Bollywood - in US theaters
Hi umop! So last week I watched Fighter - enjoyed it a lot! It is SO MUCH BETTER than the Top Gun movies, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not much of an action movie fan. I haven't even seen Rambo and have skipped almost all the Marvel movies. However, I did enjoy Top Gun: Maverick mostly because I gr...

Re: Robert Mitchum on Tuesdays
Someone mentioned A Terrible Beauty/Night Fighters earlier in the thread. I watched it this month on Tubi because this month inspired me to find and watch some lesser known Mitchum films. I've been watching some on YouTube too. I thought I would add that Tubi (free with ads) has the following movies...

Re: Bollywood - in US theaters
Forgive me. This post is really very long. I am a second generation Indian born in Chicago and my parents came to the United States in the 1970s. My parents originate from Kolkata, West Bengal. So I grew up exposed to mostly Bengali movies and some Bollywood films, especially if a Bengali had anythi...

Re: I Just Watched...
also also, for them to charge twice the price, you think CRITERION would start producing some actual documentaries instead of using those VIDEO ESSAYS. Also also, there is a CRITERION CHANNEL that you can stream for a monthly cost of something like $12.00...$14? That Criterion streaming service is ...

Notorious will air on February 5th at 8:00 pm as part of an evening of Hitchcock films. Looks like the suspected rights issue of the last few years was cleared up.

Re: SPORTS
Despite the Diamondbacks leading the NL West quite a time earlier in the season, they were still much maligned that eventually proved to be a righteous call since they fell precipitously in the second half quite a bit back. Curtains? Not quite, they slipped into the playoffs the second last day of ...

Re: DVD Netflix Shutting Down
Two months ago I switched from three at a time ($20/mo.) to eight at a time ($58/mo.) to take advantage of the foreign film inventory. Two weeks after with any such film I put on the queue, I would check The Criterion Channel and/or my local library and found that many were available there. I have ...
