Kanopy is a film streaming service that people from many communities can access free using a local library card or university ID.
I've discovered that many of my favorite films are available on Kanopy. (And I've discovered many, many more films I didn't know about -- along with tons of documentaries and educational materials.)
Here are a few of my favorites -- together with blog posts I've written, where relevant.
