Social recommendations and mentions

We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about Criterion Channel and what they use it for.
  • Scroll through videos frame by frame
    If you open a web browser on a computer and go to criterionchannel.com and play a movie, you can rapidly tap the spacebar and it sort of steps frame by frame. It could take you a few tries, but you may be able to pause on the right frame doing this. Source: 5 months ago
  • How / why do you collect physical media?
    Makes sense. criterionchannel.com is pretty hard to pass up at $10/month for thousands of titles (for me anyway). I do keep around some discs purely because they look better than streaming but I don't think streaming is the choke point there for the most part. If I was really into newer films / big productions I would probably upgrade everything to 4K and start collecting. Source: about 1 year ago
  • What Altman movie should I watch first?
    As someone pointed out these aren't all in the disc collection, but they ARE all on criterionchannel.com …. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Seven Samurai (1954)
    It's also avail on criterionchannel.com w/ other Kurosawa films and other famous Japanese films like Kwaidan and Harakiri. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Where do you watch your films?
    I get screeners but criterionchannel.com has the best selection of great films. Source: about 2 years ago
  • War changes you
    I know it's streaming on the criterionchannel.com. It's on my watchlist. Source: over 2 years ago
  • What movie is so good you'd recommend it to all your friends, but so emotionally traumatic that you'll never watch it again?
    I woke up today (Saturday) at 5:30am and couldn't get back to sleep, so I watched this on the criterionchannel.com because I've heard so much about it; remastered in 2017, with a shit-ton of featurettes. Source: almost 3 years ago

7 best Netflix alternatives: What to stream next
The Criterion Channel also groups movies by theme, so you can have a whole week or weekend's worth of content ready. Some collections are grouped by stars like Catherine Deneuve and Rita Hayworth, while there's even a collection of films scored by the iconic Quincy Jones. On a German Expressionism kick? The Criterion Channel has 10 films for just that itch, making it the best netflix alternative for movie nerds.
