What's streaming from 1947?
Saturday, May 16, 2020 at 12:39PM We're having a 1947 sidebar party for the next two weeks as we build towards the Smackdown.
One of the great f***over moments in our world of sophisticated search technology is the lack of interest in content providers giving us extensive search options. Over the years we've watched the capacity to search by film year dwindle until its practically non-existent across the web. Netflix used to have it (many years ago) when they were a DVD company. Hulu has never cared about such things. Amazon Prime still sorta has time-interest searches but makes them very difficult to find and has altered their once somewhat easy "by decade" search into a clunkier system; they now only allow you to differentiate decades once you've hit 1960. This makes self-curated spontaneous movie-watches difficult if, say, you'd like to investigate a particular film year. And, you guessed it, that's something we here at TFE like to do. Criterion Channel, at least and bless them, has a way to search by exact year.
But, as ever, we're here to help. If you'd like to indulge in the 1947 film year before we reach the next Supporting Actress Smackdown here are a dozen noteworthy movies that are currently available to stream for free...
