6. My favorite is Disney Plus because of the new content

I like watching the family movies with my wife. I love Star Wars and Marvel and watch these with my wife and daughter.

HBO Max has a significant portion of the Criterion Collection in it, and I have been working through a bunch of older movies. Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon, several Kurosawa movies, Godzilla, Charlie Chaplin, some Hitchcock, and of course a lot of DC content. HBO Max is my second favorite service. My six month subscription comes up at the end of June, and I am on the fence on renewing. I got a pretty good deal in December.

I share Netflix and Amazon Prime with my mom. There are some shows in Amazon that I really like (fewer shows but I probably like the Amazon ones more). Being a member of Prime means that I get frequent sign up offers for other movie sites like Showtime, Starz, and AMC+. I have a tendency to rotate through these as new content builds. Right now I am getting Starz for a $1/mo. They are running a $3/mo. offer right now. Amazon Prime also has a bunch of other advantages like an intro offer on Audible every year or so.

I am getting Hulu for $2/mo. for a year. I am not sure I will keep it after it is done. There is a significant overlap on movies with the other services.

I have Hoopla available through my library, and I can usually find a couple a movies a month to watch from that service as well.

I also have Scrbd which has a bunch of audiobooks, e books, Curiousity Stream, and Mubi for $10/mo. It is a better value than Audible in my opinion.
