fr0id posted:So on the interest of making this a fun thread, what would people say are the most important films on Filmstruck to watch before it goes down? Maybe a top 10 of most important and a top 10 of best/favorite films? fair and good idea!  i got so crushed when I first saw the message that I scrambled to  thats a doozie question though. I've been thinking about what films I first found via filmstruck or otherwise won't ever easily accidentally run across that I wanna own copies of despite a very limited budget, and thats tough. there's so many! there are movies that I found that clicked perfectly because of the time during my life when I discovered them and there are movies that I will appreciate irregardless of whenever I found them and some that just stink I'm too dumb to make a quantified list  but I'm trying hard to think what I wanna watch to make the most of the time leftone thing I will not miss is their interface -- they only ditched flash in the recent months

Jose Oquendo posted:I mentioned it in the streaming thread, but it should be here too: Kanopy has some Criterion content if you can sub to the service. that looks to seem relatively great for the price of free (besides the minor amount in taxes that living in a society costs) so thanks for the info! all the more reason to get my current local library memberships up to snuff

Power of Pecota posted:The Marriage of Maria Braun (hell yeah) I finally finished watching this after getting a bit spent on fassbinder and yeah, it was decent. but now I've seen it any of y'all gone down the Lina Wertmüller rabbit hole? that was a fun nice trip through a bunch of a director's films and I know it isn't old, but The Great Beauty (2013) is stuck in my head years later and I can't pinpoint why I feel bad for loving it except for thinking that it felt like a guilty wandering pleasure. colorful. delightful. blah blah blah.

ham_sanitizer posted:mouchette have you seen Set Me Free (1999)? I get that it isn't totally analogous but after starting to watch Mouchette on your recommendation, I thought back to it youth being lost while growing up is something I can't ever stop relating to...

I don't at all have much optimism that whatever identity filmstruck formed, slow as it might have been over time before gaining a sense of what it wanted to be, will survive this transition hopefully someone who knows things better will or has somehow maybe strip the website of info and made lists of all the collections and double features and spotlight movies etc etc. the short interviews and other features that don't exist on discs...where do they land? it seems like a less than zero amount of effort put into cultivating a little tiny corner of caring -- and then at&t showed up and did what was always expected I know I'm going to never see a buncha intriguing stuff though due to the garbage interface. exploring is awful. looking online for click bait "best things this month!!" remained as unappealing as ever. it was only within the last few months for frigs sake that they stopped using  flash player if one showed up via a browser

I signed up and got the hopeful sounding email but y'all gotta understand, and probably do, the messy terror that is the terrible consolidation of delivery providers and media ownership oligopolies I wanna believe tho

I was watching another movie, Woman in the Dunes, when it seemed to freeze during playback. I closed it in case it was just the player goofing up, but then got a 404 on the movie's page. And so... FILMSTRUCK DOT COM time of death, ~9AM EST
