A big +1. I'm still trying to figure out how you get 8 and I only get 4., posted on July 15, 2020 at 10:41:28

I can't seem to find any popular movies, posted on July 16, 2020 at 14:32:18

I cued up my 4th for this month, Lady Vengeance, then decided to check, posted on July 16, 2020 at 21:04:30

Hopefully as I never hit the "play" button, that one won't count against my quota of 4. Ended up watching Park's Handmaiden instead. ---------------------- "E Burres Stigano?"

I get 10/month. Libraries in KC area get funded well, I guess--- lots of 'em are , posted on July 18, 2020 at 05:10:36

If you like foreign films Kanopy is a good choice. They have classics like Rules of the Game, Jules and Jim, L'Age d'Or, Maigret Sets a Trap.

They also have documentaries like The Trials of Henry Kissinger, CIA:Covert Experiments, Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction, Howard Zinn: A People's History, Naomi Klein: Rise of Disaster Capitalism, and The Corporation.

Jean Gabin is good in Maigret on Kanopy, but even better is the whole series of Maigret on Hoopla TV. That series (French w/subtitles) features Bruno Cremer and is my favorite Detective series in video and I've seen almost all of them going back to the Rockford Files.

Some really good picks there, thanks for that! nt, posted on July 20, 2020 at 18:13:23

Loved all 3 but I think my favorite by him , posted on July 22, 2020 at 21:28:20

was Handmaiden. Loved the twist and the way they backstoried that in Parts 2 & 3. I'm not a fan of lesbian love scenes but I gotta hand it to em, that lengthy one in Part III kinda raises the bar.

Oldboy is my second favorite but probably the one I'm least likely to watch again. So intense and visceral at the end it was discomforting..
