thedailywhat: Big Deal of the Day: The Criterion Collection today announced that it has partnered with Hulu to make 150 of their titles available for instant streaming through Hulu Plus — a number that’s expected to climb rapidly. From the official announcement: Starting today, there are more than 150 of our most important films online on the Hulu Plus subscription service. Over the coming months, that number will swell to more than 800 films. For the true cinephile, this should be a dream come true. On Hulu Plus, you’ll find everything in our library, from Academy Award winners to many of the most famous films by art-house superstars like Ingmar Bergman, Akira Kurosawa, and Federico Fellini to films so rare that they have never been seen in the U.S. in any medium. At $7.99 a month, Hulu Plus still doesn’t seem to make sense to a lot of people (mostly because the all-too-familiar ads don’t go away), but with the addition of such Criterion Collection classics as Yojimbo, The 400 Blows, and I Was a Teenage Zombie, perhaps a serious reconsideration is in order. [criterion.] THIS IS A GOOD MOVE
