Hidden Gems
Excellent films worth discovering, principally English-language, with no genre or tone boundaries. Combines personal recommendations with selections and individual critical support from TIME, A Good Movie to Watch, Mark Kermode and other critics. Hiddenness is qualitative and audience-dependent: includes regional classics and cult favourites, not only obscure films. Some non-English exceptions. Includes adult horror and disturbing drama; not a family-safe channel. This is our curated compilation, not an official publisher list.
