So, I'm like a big time fan of the Criterion Collection if you couldn't have guessed that piece of trivia about me. At one point after I graduated college I actually wrote them an email to ask if I could intern for them, even though nothing on their website suggests that they have any interns. Never heard back, but it was worth a try.
When you're in film school it's easy to find great movies, because you're force fed them in class for the most part. But after college I found it was pretty hard to consistently find interesting titles and then actually find a way to see them. Mubi is an online counterpart to Criterion Collection, the website has evolved a lot over the past 5 years, I didn't really fully understand what it was for a while, but they seem to have simplified it quite a bit. Now they're offering what I will refer to as, "the netflix of art house cinema". So I signed up for this service, and everyday they put out a new movie to watch from their collection, so you know it AT LEAST has to have some sort of merit to it. But a lot of the stuff they put out is obviously amazing. and then you have a month to watch the movie before it disappears. They also do thematic programming, for example, now that it's october they have a lot of horror. I like it because now I don't have to try to find a movie from the depths of time/space that seems like it'd be worth watching, there's always new stuff on their page.
This is one of my favorite things I watched on mubi so far, it's from the NYFF
