I will miss Filmstruck. Their film catalog was practically the mirror image of Netflix's: older films, foreign films, and (my favorite) access to the whole Criterion Collection. I wonder if this means the films they had streaming rights to will reappear on other popular streaming platforms, or if they're going to go back to buy-to-stream. Or worse, if these films will have no legal streaming option at all, just discs.
Argh! I was desperate to join FilmStruck, but I do my streaming through my PS4, and at launch they didn't support the PS4 but promised that was coming real soon now. So I waited. And waited. And waited. And now they're shutting down.
This is disappointing. I really enjoyed this service for watching old samurai and yakuza films.
I also appreciated that they highlighted films that were leaving the service soon, so I could prioritize any that were on my watch list.
