FilmStruck was a streaming service that focused on classic and independent films. Launched in 2016, it aimed to provide cinephiles with access to a curated library of movies, including works from renowned directors like Alfred Hitchcock and Akira Kurosawa. The platform featured a mix of classic cinema, foreign films, and documentaries, appealing to those who appreciate the art of filmmaking. Despite its unique offerings, FilmStruck struggled to compete with larger streaming services. In November 2018, the platform was shut down, leaving many fans disappointed. However, its legacy continues to influence how classic films are appreciated and accessed in the digital age.
