yes, forever
The streaming catalog changes every month, so things come and go.
One of the best things are the themed feature collections that they put together each month. PULP FICTION may not be on there this month, but they are featuring William Lustig's "Maniac Pulp" oeuvre (Vigilante, Maniac, Maniac Cop, Maniac Cop 2, etc).

If you are getting into film in a serious way there's really no other option for you, apart from putting the entire TCM broadcast on permanent DVR record.
Are the "popular classics" on there?
I could not find Pulp Fiction or Casablanca.
But I did find Bottle Rocket!
Best tv subscription I have. I'd ditch HBO or Netflix
before ditching my $100 a year CC. I watched Clockwatchers last night before the hockey game.
Message was cryptic. But I knew Jay/hobbs would know.
Sorry!
Are you all subscribers?
Looks like they have all kind of reviews, essays, etc.
I have been watching Film Noir and stumbled upon it during a review of a film. Very cool looking.
and not just classics
The library is very extensive and includes many modern masterpieces too.
Also, they operate the streaming Criterion Channel, which is a treasure.
Remastered or Original /Directors Cut
of Classic Films.
A new credit card line from Chase?

A failed line of clothes for Macy's?
What's the Criterion Collection all about?
Please excuse my ignorance.
