Parallax posted:is Turner Classic Movies a thing in other countries? I assume they could try launching in other territories in its successful, but it could be a bitch to work all those licenses out It exists in Canada, but I definitely remember instances of films being announced on the schedule that were replaced by something else.

Only streaming service I'm on is my family's Netflix so I feel like I can afford to shell out to have the entire Criterion Collection + whatever TCM curates at my fingertips.

I'd pay like $30 a month for this, its basically like my ultimate fantasy streaming service. That said, and I'm sorry for being repetitive, I really hope its available on enough platforms to make it practical. I'd prefer to not have to re-design my whole setup just for this.

I'm pretty much completely sold, at this point I'm just curious how much of the TCM library will be available.

It's worth noting that the way this works, general subscription will include a rotating library of movies both from Criterion and TCM. So one month you may be able to watch Fanny & Alexander, The Seventh Seal and Persona and the next month you'll be able to see Rashomon, Ugetsu and Tokyo Story. The bonus Criterion premium gives you full access to the entire Criterion library WITH the home release supplements. TCM will be great for non-Criterion titles, more classic Hollywood and obscurities I would hope. quote:FilmStruck will be launching this fall on desktop and mobile devices, and internet-connected television platforms. A service built from the start with nothing but movies in mind, it will feature films from many major studios and independent distributors alongside a broad and constantly rotating selection of Criterion films, complete with the commentaries and rich supplemental content that Criterion viewers have come to expect. Carefully curated and always changing, it should be a cinema lover’s dream.

I also like having the security of knowing that to watch my movies all I need is electricity. I had an outage one time a few years ago that lasted like a whole month because of a blizzard, and thank loving god I had movies to watch.

And Flicker Alley. That's Blackhawk Films, Lobster Films, Cinemuseum, and Cinerama, plus some other stuff. If they get Cohen Media (who has the 2K restorations of Intolerance and The Thief of Bagdad on Hulu), plus what TCM can get from their parent company... It would be possible to have one of the best resources for silent film. There's over 300 silents just with Warner/Turner.

Criterion just started releasing UK/Region B editions, FYI. It's looking like it's mostly Sony and Janus properties, but not a bad selection so far. It Happened One Night Tootsie Only Angels Have Wings Polanski's Macbeth In a Lonely Place Grey Gardens Speedy Easy Rider Burroughs: The Movie Dr. Strangelove Gilda Overlord Here Comes Mr. Jordan L'Avventura Amazon has a page up: https://www.amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&node=9781575031

We are absolutely listening to international feedback, though, and should we opt to extend the service to other countries, we'll let everyone know.

Did not see The Immortal Story coming- very pleasant surprise . I'd love to see what they have to say about that one in the special features. Looking forward to Chimes at Midnight and McCabe & Mrs. Miller too.

zandert33 posted:Immortal Story is a pleasant surprise. Really wish they'd do a release of "The Trial". The Trial is owned by StudioCanal, so it's not getting a release until the Lionsgate license expires. Othello is in the works, but they wanted to include multiple cuts, which is probably taking longer to prepare. Hulu has the 1990s version that looks fantastic, but it's cropped to 16x9 instead of 1.37:1. Othello is actually owned by Welles' estate, so if they got an interview with Beatrice Welles for Chimes at Midnight, that's good news.

Looking at Wikipedia, the rights to Filming Othello are held by Oja Kodar. So, don't hold your breath. There's been bad blood between Kodar and Beatrice Welles for a while. Welles has gotten a lot of flack, but the problems with The Other Side of the Wind are apparently Kodar interfering.
