Enrolled in this a few months back, as an easy means to stream TCM and Criterion favorites, some of which I hadn’t yet captured on disc. Literally watching Dorian Gray, and received the following email notice - what a shame, and a very nice reminder of why we purchase movies on disc!

Very disappointing news. I paid for a year's subscription in August. Hopefully they will make good on their promises of refunds.
I loved their selection, but in my experience their service was buggy. I had the signal cut-out on me numerous times, with genuinely odd error messages that made no sense.

I was a Filmstruck subscriber last year, and enjoyed their excellent selection of "international", non-Hollywood cinema. I must have watched twenty Igmar Bergman films, for starters. However, in recent months they were adding entirely too many TCM-type films, so I dumped the service.
Did they take down a lot of art-house and foreign films when they started to add films from the TCM library?
It seemed that way to me. They regularly rotated the available films and were always adding fresh stuff, but they also kept the classic international selections (Fellini, Bergman, De Sica etc.). However, to my fading recollection, even those films were switched out for TCM fare. Hence my dropping the service. Too bad, because last summer (2017) I was totally immersed in that stuff.
Filmstruck was a great way of watching numerous non-English language films, and I'm glad I had the chance to see so many.
