#DailyStream: the muse’s tale... from her own perspective. Jane Campion’s lovely 2009 #BrightStar lavishes its attention on Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish), who inspired one or other of those early-19th-century poets. On @primevideouk UK, but, criminally, streaming nowhere in the US

#DailyStream: condemned to repeat the past, etc... Dunno why 2017’s #DeathOfStalin is in my head these days. It’s a historical satire set 70 years ago, in a totally diff political environment — what resonance for today could it possibly have? 🙄 @hulu @Kanopy US @primevideouk UK

#DailyStream: a rare genuine onscreen everywoman. Prep for the threequel (opens Fri) with 2002's #MyBigFatGreekWedding, a sweet story about a young woman coming out of her shell and finding she's worthy of love even though she's not a size 2 supermodel. @StreamOnMax US, @ITVX UK

#DailyStream: where dogs are the equals of humans. This is not that silly talking-dog movie. #Stray is a beautiful documentary portrait of the dignified canines who live on the streets of Istanbul. @kanopy @hulu US, @NetflixUK @Dogwoof on Demand UK

#DailyStream: smashing bigotry, creating solidarity. For US #LaborDay, a tale from the last time the zeitgeist fomented similar expressions of working-class solidarity transatlantically. 2014’s #Pride (set during 80s UK miners’ strike) is on @paramountplus US, @DisneyPlusUK UK.

#DailyStream: hey, Adrian! Feel-good in a way that has become iconic, and as much a tender romance as a sports flick, 1976’s #Rocky is a working-class fairy tale that got overshadowed by its over-the-top sequels. Leaves both @netflix US and @primevideouk UK at the end of Sept.

#DailyStream: in case you need more dramatic Robert Downey Jr., post #Oppenheimer. Sure, it’s pure soapy melodrama, but RDJ's snark and Robert Duvall’s crustiness (as his father) ensure 2014's #TheJudge never gets sappy. rent/buy @PrimeVideo @AppleTV on both sides of the Atlantic

#DailyStream: girls just wanna slay (emotional) monsters. An excellent companion to #Scrapper is an even more magic-realist story of a 12yo girl: 2018's #IKillGiants, another smart portrait of a child’s fears and anxieties. @PrimeVideo US, @NetflixUK UK

#DailyStream: attend a delightfully nasty little soiree with Cillian Murphy (and others). If three hours of Cillian Murphy in #Oppenheimer wasn’t enough, catch him (and an incredible ensemble) in modern drawing-room farce #TheParty. @Kanopy US @BFIPlayer @CurzonCinemas at home UK

#DailyStream: the ethics of war on a nuclear-armed planet. Brilliant documentarian Errol Morris’s 2003 #TheFogOfWar makes for an excellent companion to #Oppenheimer for its insight into the atomic brinkmanship of the Cold War. @PrimeVideo and @AppleTV US/UK

#DailyStream: crime as just another form of capitalism. Guy Ritchie’s hilariously sublime 2020 black comedy #TheGentlemen crackles with cynicism about capitalism, culture, and politics. @PrimeVideo US, @NetflixUK UK.

#DailyStream: when you hit the gym and the gym hits back. Andrew Bujalski’s hilarious and weirdly poignant #Results, from 2015, is a dryly funny anti rom-com that’s bracingly off-kilter yet full of a curious humanity. @kanopy US, @primevideouk UK

#DailyStream: maybe Mars *is* the kind of place to raise your kids… I became a huge Alice Winocour stan because of her 2020 film #Proxima, a tale of Eve Green's single-mom astronaut that brings a new, almost fundamental humanity to a story oft-told. @Kanopy US, @BFIPlayer UK.

#DailyStream: Hamlet, but make it angry and green. Before there was the MCU, there was Ang Lee’s ahead-of-its-time 2003 #Hulk. An art film disguised as a popcorny summer action flick, it’s due reconsideration as a modern classic. @hulu US, @primevideouk UK

#DailyStream: Llewyn is the cat... Honor #InternationalCatDay with #InsideLlewynDavis, featuring one of the great onscreen pusses of recent vintage, a honkin’ big orange fluffy metaphor for Oscar Isaac’s plight. On @PrimeVideo and @primevideouk.

#DailyStream: Christopher Nolan’s other WWII movie. His 2017 #Dunkirk is primal and exhilarating, full of dread and tension... and I think it's even better than #Oppenheimer. Leaves US @netflix Aug 12th; streaming on @primevideouk.

#DailyStream: meet Putin’s worst nightmare, the effortlessly charming and enormously engaging Alexei Navalny. 2022 doc #Navalny is as gripping and as hugely suspenseful as a finely wrought fictional thriller. @StreamOnMax US, @CurzonCinemas at Home and @Dogwoof on Demand UK

#DailyStream: Sinéad O’Connor was right about the Catholic Church. 2013’s #Philomena is a deeply affecting true-life story of the nightmare Magdalene laundries, the first cry-until-you-laugh dramedy I’ve ever seen. Streaming @PrimeVideo US, @DisneyPlusUK.

#DailyStream: a taboo-smashing feminist horror black comedy about pregnancy. Writer-director-star Alice Lowe’s gloriously feminist, wonderfully demented 2017 film #Prevenge is as poignant as it is bitterly funny. On @Shudder in US, newly free in UK for @primevideouk members.

#DailyStream: a portrait of the incomparable Sinéad O’Connor. Gorgeous doc #NothingComparesMovie screams with O’Connor’s righteous fury, beautiful nonconformity, and unstoppable feminism. On @Showtime in the US, @primevideouk in UK.
