I’ve been waiting to see a definitive version Until the End of the World for years. So excited to see that one.

Yeah, it's so good. Like I was thinking just the other day about how well they have filled in holes in the official collection with the additions to the channel. So many excellent filmmakers who they had nothing or only a few a few films from (Reichardt, Burnett, Lupino, Wertmuller, Herzog, Techine, Almodovar, Weerasethakul, Arzner, Hogg, Scheslinger, Petzold, Sang-soo, Reygadas, etc). I mean, obviously that stuff doesn't stay up on the channel indefinitely but still.

Yeah my main complaint is I don't have enough time to watch what I need to

My secondary one is periodically I can't play a movie on any device due to weird drm reasons

I will say that the one sort of drawback, I guess you could call it, of having such an abundance of riches at your fingertips is that I find myself a lot quicker to switch off of a movie that I'm sort of "eh" on like 20-30 minutes in. It's like "well, I could keep going to see if this gets better or I could in five seconds be playing some other absolute classic of world cinema.'

What are y'all using to stream this on? I find that it's a uniquely bad app for streaming in a lot of ways - on Apple TV it skips a frame every few seconds, enough that I can't watch anything on there without getting annoyed. If I put stuff on my computer it starts out super pixelated and doesn't snap into the right quality for like 15-20 seconds. This is on a gigabit connection and everything else works normally. Seems like something they should maybe fix?

I'm using an Amazon Fire stick and I haven't had any issues. I think it might've lagged a little bit watching Fallen Angels, but I honestly couldn't tell if it was a technical issue or Wong Kar-Wai's style.
