I've got a list of classic movies I want to watch, and none of them are on Netflix.

TCM has a great collection, but not sure if it has what you're looking for:

Try "Tribeca Shortlist" it's available on roku, and Chromecast and everything else. It's mainly older, very good movies, some hard to find on any other streaming services. It's mostly movies from the last 40yrs or so but there are some older too.
Tribeca Shortlist 30 dat free trial

Also TCM has a great app with all their movies currently showing on demand. I don't know if it will cast to your tv though....also have to have cable or satellite subscription with TCM included. Amazon has almost any movie you can think of but you have to rent anything that is not streaming on Prime.

What movies are on your list?

I've never understood why the big streamers don't offer more old movies. I guess the studios want too much for niche movies that most people will never watch but I would love them to offer more.

Here's the top 25 on their list. A Lot of these are huge movies that TCM probably doesn't have the rights to. I'd stay away from the old Buster Keaton, Chaplin, and Marx Brothers stuff unless your REALLY into comedy or really really old movies. Sucks there isn't one movie service that has all of these.

CITIZEN KANE

THE GODFATHER

RAGING Bull

SINGIN' IN THE Rain

GONE WITH THE WIND

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA

SCHINDLER'S LIST

VERTIGO

THE WIZARD OF OZ

CITY LIGHTS

THE SEARCHERS

STAR WARS

PSYCHO

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY

SUNSET BLVD.

THE GRADUATE

THE GENERAL

ON THE WATERFRONT

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE

CHINATOWN

SOME LIKE IT HOT

THE GRAPES OF WRATH

E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

It's going to be even bigger than that. They recently added 4-5 more partners so they really have a huge library.

Not for much longer.

OP...a new streaming service is coming later this year that should satisfy you.

Film Struck


This is where Criterion will also be moving to
