If you are a subscriber to Amazon Prime, you already know that the service is a goldmine of retro movies and TV shows that are included in the annual subscription fee. You have probably also noticed that there are independent movie screening services that you can subscribe to for separate fees and these can be played conveniently through the Amazon Prime app. These separate streaming services are usually built around a niche such as horror films, westerns, foreign films, etc. One of the apps I recently discovered is Screenpix and for a paltry $2.99 a month, you can access a wide range of retro movies that are not included in Amazon Prime's catalog. The service gives you a 7-day free trial and is also available through Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV and Playstation. Here are just some of the titles I glimpsed in browsing through the service:
- "Shout at the Devil"
- "The Professionals"
- "Fail Safe"
- "The Innocents"
- "Red River"
- "Marooned"
- "Bus Stop"
- "To Catch a Thief"
- "The Blob" (original)
- "Rollerball" (original)
- "To Catch a Thief"
- "Stagecoach" (original)
- "Born Losers"
- "The African Queen"
- "Return of Sabata"
- "Attack on the Iron Coast"
- "The Wild Angels"
- "Billion Dollar Brain"
- "Where's Papa?"
- "Witchfinder General" (aka "The Conqueror Worm")
- "Attack!"
- "The 1,000 Plane Raid"
- "Woman of Straw"
- "House of Usher"
- "The Longest Day"
Well, you get the idea. In any event, we can assure you that we have no affiliation with either Amazon, Roku or Screenpix. We pay the subscription fees just like everyone else does.Just making a recommendation to fellow retro-movie buffs about a great resource to find an eclectic catalog of great titles.
