Amazon Prime has been adding a lot of great and/or weird old movies to stream lately but their search facets are bad. So here's all pre-1960 films included with Prime. bit.ly/pre-1960
This still is for THE GOLDEN SALAMANDER, a wonderful British thriller starring my man Trevor Howard. It's one of the pre-1960 titles free on Prime.
It cracks me up that you have to:
1. Choose PRIME VIDEO the main drop-down
2. Run a blank search
3. Scroll down to the left-hand DECADE facets
4. Check UP TO 1960
5. Tab over to INCLUDED WITH PRIME
...to get those Amazon results. Old movie weirdos are not UX priority, I guess?
It seems that IMDb also has a handy list of pre-1960 Prime Video titles: imdb.to/2B99p0Q
h/t to @rgodfrey and @j_christley for pointing this out!
Good point about the mixed blessings of classics on Prime Video. And their info is sometimes inaccurate. Just found a film I'd been seeking for YEARS... under an incorrect title!
An unmissable pearl among the WTF Prime Video offerings: BEYOND THE FOREST (1949), Bette Davis's notoriously operatic last film for her Warner Brothers contract. amzn.to/2PywTS7
