PrincessMommy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 One of the things I am frustrated about with Netflix and Amazon Prime is that most of their movies/tv shows available for live-streaming are pretty mainstream. I've looked at Hulu and it's the same. We prefer lesser known, indie, and foreign shows/films. Is there a source for that? For example, Secrets & Lies has never been available at Netflix either for dvd or live-streaming. Another movie is The Eighth Day. same thing - never available on either - also not even available on DVD. We don't like to buy dvds, it's just another thing that needs storage.

Mergath Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 You could look into getting a Roku box. There are a handful of channels that play exclusively indie films, though I haven't tried any of them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malory Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Check out viki.com. There are more movies and tv series from all over the world than you ever imagine available for free. I got hooked on Korean dramas through this site. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks for both the tips. Malory - I checked out viki. It looks like it's mostly Asian movies but still very promising. I've already found several titles that look very promising. My 18 yr old dd is going to love this site too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Never mind. It looks like The Eighth Day was available on Netflix but isn't at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2TheTeam Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 what are indies? I've seen this mentioned, but have no clue. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 indies = independent movies We find a ton of foreign and independently made movies on Netflix! But, it's hard to find specific titles. Ds knows a lot to recommend, and our queue is filled with "interesting" foreign/indies. I'd be happy to give you a list! (not tonight--football is on...)
