New York Times editors and reporters have suggested twelve movies to watch before FilmStruck disppears. I’ve seen three (and heard of only two of the others). I have some viewing to do.

FilmStruck recommendations

FWIW there is a change.org petition to sign to express our dismay on the passing of FilmStruck.

There are a couple of others, but this one seems to have the most traction and the best reasoning. FilmStruck is not just a streaming service, but access to an archive.
I just signed. I can’t imagine a petition meaning much to a corporation willing to shutter FilmStruck to begin with, but who knows?
Kanopy (available from some libraries) looks like an alternative of sorts, but it’s computer-only.
Yes our library announced Kanopy literally the day after the FilmStruck announcement. They do have apps and their content looks to be pretty good. A downside is that, at least with our library's implementation, you get six films a month and even a 5 minute short counts as one of those six.
