Truly the darkest, most bitterly satirical gallows humor of all.

Genuinely Kanopy is the best streaming service out there.

No ads! Great selection of old and new movies! Some of the best documentaries I've ever seen! ANDDD it's completely free with a library card

Truly underappreciated library resource: Kanopy!

It's a movie-and-tv streaming service that many libraries offer. If your library supports it, you can get a free account with your library card!

It works similarly to Hoopla, with monthly checkout limits, but the amount of movies and tv they have is astounding. They focus on indie movies and documentaries, but they have an impressive variety. A few days ago, some friends and I watched an experimental Afrofuturist queer surreal-cyberpunk musical movie just to try it, and it was a strange and fascinating experience that I wouldn't have gotten anywhere else. (Neptune Frost, by the way. It's interesting!)

Kanopy has animated movies like the French/North African The Rabbi's Cat (Le chat du rabbin), popular indies like The Secret of Kells, up to well-known ones like ParaNorman. It has popular quirky successes like Everything Everywhere All at Once, But I'm a Cheerleader, and Lady Bird, award-winning dramas like Moonlight, classic movies like The Graduate, Dial M for Murder, Roman Holiday, Rashomon, and Seven Samurai. It's got Charlie Chaplin. It's got some classic musicals, like Oklahoma! and Guys and Dolls. It's got classic horror like Suspiria, Nosferatu, and Night of the Living Dead, and a plethora of modern horror as well. It has cheesy old-timey sci-fi from the 50s and 60s, genuinely good classic sci-fi like The Boys from Brazil, cult classics like Donnie Darko, modern feel-good quirky sci-fi like Jules, and just, a WHOLE lot of super interesting creative modern indie sci-fi to browse. It has documentaries. It has quite a lot of PBS and BBC series. It has anime. It has all of Farscape for some reason. It has a really impressive collection of LGBTQ+ film from around the world.

See if your library offers Kanopy, and browse the genres you like - you are sure to find something fascinating that you had never heard of before!

Farscape is on Kanopy!

All four seasons! All 88 episodes!

yes, you read that right. There was a time when there could be 20+ episodes per season.

It's ALL HERE .

yes I was just all excited about Leverage being on there, but I finished all five seasons and had to find something else, and Kanopy is free with a library card (from participating libraries) so this is neat.

Kanopy, which many Libraries offer for free, has a shitton of gay films streaming right now. This week alone, I watched Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Wild Nights with Emily, Ammonite, AND Desert Hearts on there. Still so many more to go and I'm currently focused just on lesbian period pieces, which I gotta say is a pretty specific desire.

'Murderbot' fans, if your library has the free streaming service Kanopy and you're looking for something to watch for spooky season, Kanopy has horror film 'Late Night with the Devil' with David Dastmalchian and psychological thriller 'Hidden' with Alexander Skarsgård. Alternatively, if you prefer a more relaxing vibe, Kanopy also has two PBS documentaries, 'Soul of the Ocean' and 'The Leopard Legacy,' both narrated by the calming voice of Noma Dumezweni.
