For much of my adult life I have been a fan of the Criterion Collection. About fifteen years ago I did subscribe to the Criterion Channel in order to stream their movie collection on demand, but I found the interface clunky, especially for fast-forwarding, seeking etc. I dropped that subscription after realizing that our local public library has over a thousand Criterion Channel movies available on DVD and Blu-ray.
There is a physical (and a mobile) Criterion Closet containing all the movies. This week I realized there is an app to access that closet. At the link you can view and interact with that closet either in a mockup of the physical setting ("closet view") or in a list view (screencap embedded above). From that app you can access all the movies via your subscription or purchase them. But more importantly for the average reader here, you can access trailers for virtually all of those 1,327 movies.
Then I borrow the DVDs from the library.
