If you’re Richard III, you’ll probably prefer a horse to a movie streaming website.
If you’re impersonating Richard III, you might want to be reminded of what a really bad guy he was. He’s the kind of guy who can say:
I can smile, and murder while I smile!
Richard III
If you don’t have a clue who this guy is, that’s fine. All you need to know is that at some point in his life, rather close to the en I must say, he said:
A horse! A horse! My kingdom, for a horse!
Richard II, again
And, by the way, I can only recommend Rowan Atkinson’s very professional interpretation of this memorable scene in Blackadder, which shows he can compete with the best Shakespearian actors.
Richard III without a horse 
Horse without Richard III
But what was I saying?
If you’re human, you’ve probably spent the best part of your time in confinement for the last years. This usually implies watching a lot of movies.
So let’s have a look at your options:
| Pros | Cons | |
| Netflix and the likes | Loooooots of really entertaining movies and series | Most of the movies are, let’s say, entertaining but that’s all. You have to pay. |
| Film d’auteur platforms (Mubi, La Cinetek…) | Many quality movies | Many movies are really, I mean really, specific. You only have a limited choice. You have to pay. |
| Internet archives (Archive.org, Open Culture…) | Looooooots of videos of all kinds Free | So many bad videos it’s difficult to find the good ones. Few recent movies (because of copyright issues) |
This website adds a new line to this table:
- Only movies which are legally available: we skim through internet archives, cinema blogs, forums, etc. to find movies that can be legally streamed; extra caution never hurts, so make sure to let us know (through the contact page) in case your have a doubt about a particular movie.
- Only quality movies: we check on IMDb, SensCritique and Rotten Tomatoes that they’re incredible movies. Sometimes we go crazy and we even watch them and enjoy that.
- Only free movies: if one day we have millions of daily visitors, we’ll think about adding movies under copyright (and that will mean asking for a fee); but for now we’ll start with exploring the free world.
We like to call it FILM, as in Free, Incredible, Legal Movies.
Enjoy!
