Filmstruck / Criterion Channel

Looks like the full film list won't come to the app or iOS. From the email they sent out this afternoon --

The number one request was for an “all films” list, and just in time for your viewing pleasure here it is! This desktop-only feature will allow you to see all the films on the Criterion Channel and organize them by title, director, year, and country. We hope this helps you navigate the more than 1,500 titles available now on the service!

i imagine the app will improve over the upcoming month. Even so, they've rolled out kinda haphazardly tbh.

I mean, this is a boutique proposition, and for clearing the rights on this library alone, it’s cool. I was able to send off my Friday with Querelle and I was very happy.

Is there a reason why some Criterion titles are apparently not available to stream? I subscribed to Filmstruck from the start and never saw The Harder They Come pop up, and it's not listed on the new channel, either.

Prickly rightsholder one presumes.

Same reason Netflix or Prime don't have things, they don't own the streaming rights.

The All Films list is nice, but its usefulness is limited in that there is no way to use it to add films to one's own list, even by clicking through to the film.

I noticed that, very frustrating.

enjoyed the bonus features for Wanda today
the documentary was kinda boring (all about acting!) but i enjoyed the interviews and hearing a little more from Barbara Loden herself

May 2019 lineup: https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/6314-coming-attractions-the-criterion-channel-s-may-lineup

HOLY SHIT THAT CUKOR LINEUP!!!

"Our Betters" is WONDERFUL and iirc never even made it to VHS (let alone DVD or Blu)

yeah really excited for that--I've only seen Gaslight out of that whole list

B-b-but have you see the original Gaslight?

I have not! I didn't even know it existed until you posted that, but I do love Walbrook

screening on VHS at my house next week

"Our Betters" was pretty delightful--thanks for repping it Stevie. It's basically a filmed play but Constance Bennett and, especially, Violet Kemble-Cooper are such fun. And I don't know what to say about the last five minutes.

Also, I'm not one to swoon over women's fashion, but Bennett looks phenomenal in every scene:

I have to say, having spent the last five years in Canada at a loss for how to see classic/arty/etc cinema, this service has been a godsend. If only they'd put a My List link in the top nav.

oh, ERNEST

Had no idea Criterion was currently hosting a ton of Godzilla!

yeah filmstruck was too, seemed like part of their marketing strategy

So the Channel will have the full edition of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, supplements and such, three and a half weeks before the disc release, as in tomorrow. That's a pretty nice trick.

July titles. Sorry it's an image, that's how I found them and I don't want to retype it.

i really enjoyed that one (no matter what you call it), a noir subverted by french irony

yes. cool and tense.

Well of course they put up all the Herzog AFTER my free trial ended...

The Herzog movies are on various film streaming sites.

finally the pent-up demand for Lena Dunham's juvenilia will be sated

I hate to be that guy, but I was thinking about getting the Jackie Chan set before the end of the B&N sale and now I won't.

Why just those two Chan films? I demand Supercop!

It just occurred to me that the boy in The Night of the Hunter, which I am rewatching for the first time in a while since it is about to expire, reminds me a little of Buck Owens.

Seems like there is a band named after the old uncle who lives on the river.

Why just those two Chan films? I demand Supercop

the Police Stories had 4K restorations and US theatrical re-releases this year - they ran at at least three different theatres across six months in Seattle

The 'Directed by Ida Lupino' series is great, all the movies are GREAT, some of them have been easily available before, but not really all of these collected. The great shame is that OUTRAGE is not included.

I could have sworn that a bunch of early Kiarostami shorts were coming to the channel, but I can't remember where I read it now. Maybe I was thinking about that IFC retrospective.
