"Like most of us, I’ve been sheltering in place for a few months now. I’ve caught up on most everything on my DVR and playlists on various streaming platforms, and the algorithms keep suggesting the same things over and over. I turned to the internet for lists of films to watch, but nearly all of them suggest the same mainstream stuff over and over – like, I’ve seen Blade Runner, most of us have seen Blade Runner, or at least are very aware of Blade Runner and can find Blade Runner should we want to see Blade Runner. Blade Runner.

I thought a useful tool could be a list of films a little more off the beaten path – from overlooked studio pictures, to little indie gems, to movies that somehow failed to find a large audience but have small factions that swear by them. And, more importantly, where they can be found. I adore or at least enjoyed all of these. So, in alphabetical order, I present to you my picks for hopefully new entertainment to help pass the days stuck inside, along with the various services where they can be found to rent or stream. (A handy guide can be found at justwatch.com). Also, there’s some bonus entries at the end that I just can’t find as streamable online, but I wanted to notate them there."
