If you're in the US, might be worth checking out Kanopy[0]. It requires a library card, and a participating library. I haven't been able to use it as Brooklyn and NYC don't seem to be participating, so it might in fact be terrible.

It's really good, actually. I don't think they stream 4K but for most people that barely matters (screen either too small or too far away for it to make a huge difference).

They have a rotating selection of Criterion films. Heavy on documentaries (of the plays-the-festival-circuit variety, not the narrated-by-David-Attenborough variety) too, if you like that sort of thing. Usually several fairly-recent good movies as well. It's where I watched Ex Machina, for example. Kids' features really lacking, mostly low-quality stuff that would have been (maybe was?) bargain-bin straight-to-VHS material back in the day. No substitute for PBS or Disney+ for that purpose. Material for adults is much stronger.

Views are limited per-month but unless you consistently watch more than a movie a week on that service specifically you'll never have a problem with it.

I've got an address that qualifies for two library systems, and the one I'd normally use didn't have it, so I had to get a card for the one I'd practically never use otherwise to gain access to Kanopy.

I think Kanopy is pretty good, but it's the only streaming service I use regularly...other than YouTube.

Last I checked, Monterey Public Library has Kanopy and anyone who lives in California can get a card there.

I'm a big fan of Kanopy. It has roughly 1/3 of the Criterion Collection, and a good mix of classic + modern (mostly indie) movies
