FilmStruck streaming service
Don't know if this is the correct forum to ask, but has anyone tried FilmStruck?
On the surface it seems like they have a huge library-- from TCM, Criterion, and other sources. It features classic films, art house flicks, and others. The price isn't bad if one uses it a few times per week. Looks to be from $6 to $11 per month depending upon the features chosen. https://www.filmstruck.com/us/ I'm thinking about putting on the Roku, but I'd prefer the annual $99 rate. ~Doc |
I had it for a year. I liked it and will probably get it again at some point.

I don't know what kind of setup you have, CR. But if you have a laptop, you can stream it to there, then feed it to your TV via a HDMI cable-- providing your TV has an open HDMI connection.

I don't have a laptop with a HDMI port. But I read about that method and it sounds like a pain in the ass...as to pause the movie or rewind, you have to either have the laptop, in your lap or get up and walk over to the laptop:eek:

Re: FilmStruck streaming service
I had Filmstruck a while back, and loved it. I only canceled it because I found myself gorging on "bad" movies on Amazon. I need to subscribe again, especially since I saw that Two Men in Manhattan (1959) is streaming on there now.

Re: FilmStruck streaming service
Filmstruck's selection is great but their search functionality, queuing system & player are all mildly infuriating. One thing I do really appreciate is the updated page of coming/going titles. I'm at the point now where I just monitor that and watch the movies that look interesting to me which are expiring within the month

Web design now caters more to the tablet/phone experience than the laptop/desktop one and another part of it is these streaming services never want you to see the absolute limits of their selection. They want you to spend more time poking around and settling on something to watch |

DAMN IT !!!!!!!!! :mad: |
Re: FilmStruck streaming service
It sucks that Filmstruck is being axed. Obviously there's more money in endless and mindless sequels & reboots, than there is in offering the public a chance to see hard to find older classics and indie films.

Re: FilmStruck streaming service
It was the best streaming service by a HUGE margin, in both quality and quantity. My week is ruined.

app navigation could’a used some fine tunning but I’m as bummed out as anyone here. Don’t know if there’s any chance Criterion’s catalogue could go back to Hulu like it used to be.
