Film subscription site. Recommendations.

I tried the Mubi trial but found it a bit obscure and a fairly limited choice of films. As ever, everyone's tastes are different and the only real way to find out is to sign up for a trial and look at the catalogue.

Best choice of films for me was BFI Player (although the situation with apps and getting a film onto a TV screen can be a nightmare depending on the rights they've negotiated) although I also dabble in Curzon Home Cinema. Both of those are what you might call 'mainstream arthouse' - so lots of indie and small-budget films, probably less in the World language area than Mubi.

I joined Mubi with a 3 month free trial thanks to my local indie cinema. At the end of that they offered me half price for a year. Been enjoying it a lot, it is very focussed on arthouse stuff. They used to just have 30 films on at a time, each available for 30 days, but there's now a "Library" section with a lot more content available. I quite liked the 30 day limit as it forced me to actually watch stuff rather than never get round to it. Only problem I had was finding a way of streaming to my TV (with Chromecast, subtitles don't work properly) but eventually worked it out by getting a Roku box.

Just also joined BFI player with a free 3 month trial for Amex card holders - www.americanexpress.com/uk/entertainment/tickets/American-Express-BFI-Player-Offer
The two have a fair bit of content in common.

I have a Roku box, so interested in the various streaming services available for it beyond the obvious. I should probably investigate some of these, because streaming to a laptop, and from there to the tv is too much hassle for day to day.
