Recently I’ve been all about the curated collections that The Criterion Channel puts out. For those that are unaware, they’ll pick a couple themes and put together a list of 6-12 movies complete with a blended trailer and overview of the theme. Right now for instance they have “70s Car Movies” and “High School Horror”. My only complaint is that it obviously only lists movies that are available on The Criterion Channel.
Is there anything similar out there, be it a blog, YouTube channel, whatever, but that will regularly curate lists without regards for where to actually watch the movie?
I know I could just search for best whatever genre movies I’m interested in watching, but sometimes I don’t want to think about what to watch. Additionally, the curated list for a given theme gets me to branch out from what I may typically watch in that I know it’s generally going to be a good movie.
There are tons and tons of lists on Letterboxd, a social network built around movies. Sounds like exactly what you’re looking for.
