Does anyone on here in the USA subscribe to BFI Player Classics?

If so, what are your thoughts on it?

For about four months, a couple of years ago (via Amazon Prime). Not a lot of stuff you couldn't also get elsewhere (i.e. Kanopy, Criterion Channel). A few of the lesser known Ealing comedies. A few early Michael Powell and Terence Davies titles. Some independent, documentaries, and short films, some of which aren't even listed now.

I hope there's a lot of Diana Dors movies on there.

Can you really get a free trial?

Never subscribed to this, but I do own all of the BFI Film Classics books and I have been a regular reader of Sight & Sound magazine for decades.

It looks really cool but I can’t seem to find the year in which these films were made in their film summaries. I wish they would make it easy to find films from the 1930’s, 1970’s etc.
