BUZZ FOR YOUR BRAIN

A Streaming Service for the Cinephile

A Streaming Service for the Cinephile

In November 2018, TCM’s FilmStruck, a classic movie streaming service with over a thousand timeless and artistic titles went kaput. As a result, big-time actors who didn’t want to see classic movies disappear from availability petitioned Warner Bros. to save the day. Thus, for $10.99/month or $99.99/year (or a free 14-day trial), The Criterion Channel was born to satisfy cinephiles the world over. It has over 1,000 classic films from over one hundred years (1917–2018), featuring work from legends such as Akira Kurosawa to modern-day virtuosos like Steven Soderbergh. If you’re looking for something better than the franchise blockbuster hell that dominate screens today, The Criterion Channel is a slice of heaven.
