[The Auteurs]

Criterion has stepped up their game. Criterion Collection, the company that is best known for releasing very well restored versions of classics and modern classics on DVD with many awesome extras is now online. I'm not surprised that Criterion decided to upload a couple of films online. The success of Hulu.com has proven that watching film and TV online is what so many people are moving to. Their film viewing medium comes in the form of a site called The Auteurs. There is a feature called "Festival" which has some obscure films to be viewed for free and some others which you can view for $5. My favorite feature on the site is the forums. Many great discussions on film happen on the message boards. Arguably it's the only place to read some great film debate and criticism in which you can also join in.
