These include films you've probably never heard of and may never have another chance to see, as well as Hollywood and art house classics. Be warned, however: the better known films tend not to be available "in this territory".

The site also has free Criterion collection films, on a rotating basis. Currently there are about a dozen classic documentaries, all available.

There are also current art films and revival classics, for $5 a pop (or various subscription fees per month) but a number of these are also "not available in this territory".

Anyway, there are hour and hours of free films at the site, some curated by Scorsese, and many of the paid films are derived from current festival programming, including Cannes.

There are active forums as well on the site. At the very top, one guy cites John Bailey on the deficiencies of DI's.....

And one of the films they're working on this year is Edward Yang's "A Brighter Summer's Day." That film is a total masterpiece, absolutely amazing, never released Stateside, etc. so that news made my day when I heard it yesterday. (Also great to see that Kent Jones is now working with them, too.)
