10. Amazon Prime is also the worse for

search. I typically track my genres (science fiction and horror) by newest released. They put up some great movies without really telling anyone (there was a crop of 1970s like Demonseed that came out a couple of months ago). They do have pretty good older content. They recently put up a bunch of the old Hammer vampire movies. Keep hoping they do the same for Frankenstein and the other Hammer horror movies. The put up the Amicus analogy horror as well. Some Mario Bava stuff as well.


The funniest thing is that the library really has replaced Blockbuster for me. Between our library or our sister library, we have great content. I just put in a request in for On the Waterfront and A Streetcar Named Desire. I walk into the front of the library, and the DVDs are waiting for me. Not too long ago I got a binge box of Alfred Hitchcock movies from them (eight of them).

When you know you have a good service, you say I was about ready to pay $3 to see that, and it is here for the subscription fee.

I do agree with you about Netflix. I keep thinking I will drop it. Maybe after Jessica Jones is over. The Umbrella Academy really hasn't done it for me. I am looking forward to the Jupiter's Legacy series though.
