I recently discovered Mubi 🇬🇧.
Based in London and founded by Efe Çakarel. Born in Izmir and educated at MIT, he was worried that american streamers were flooding the world with mass Hollywood crap while quality cinema struggled.
Mubi supports and distributes movies from around the world.
On their catalogue, you find some the best award winners from the Cannes Festival, the European Film Festival, the Jerusalem Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival.

Netflix is like going to Pizza Hut.
Mubi is like eating at a Pizzeria owned by a Sicilian family.
Damn their website is really fast! Optimised to shit!
Mubi
Man, I am disappointed. I go to the website and it took me ages to find pricing. I had to go to menu > about and only then there is new menu item “membership” where I could see the price. I hate such dark patterns, if they cared they would not hide the price (and I don’t even think its unreasonable price, why hide it…)
Founded in London as a distributor, partnered with Criterion to launch a streaming service, and now Mubi is a US-registered multi-national company.
Hmmm but wait, Britain (or the UK) is not part of the EU.
Besides, they are as anti-privacy and anti-safety as the US, being their good bitch.
Oh no I multiclassed it alongside Politics and Literature, which taught me there’s this thing called Context. Which teaches a supposed stream service of a country that is requiring government ID to access media or even web services in general, from a country that historically spreads its legs for the US and does lots of colonialism otherwise, might not be the most palatable thing. Even more when the rest of the US is pointing out they’re gonna help fund VLC.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
LOL WTF are you on about? This community is literally called Buy European. If you’d paid any attention in school you’d be able to recognise that the UK is actually part of Europe. So your original comment makes fuck all sense.
and does lots of colonialism otherwise
🤣 Hey Bob what do you fancy doing today? Oh I don’t maybe grab some beers, watch the game, perhaps a little colonialism?
You might also want to rediscover your history lessons about Europe. The UK and pretty much every other country on the continent.
