As is the case in Los Angeles (and soon to be in New York), D.C.’s public library system comes with a pretty cool perk: access to hundreds of movies from the Criterion Collection.

The company has been amassing cinematic masterpieces since 1984, building up a repository that is treasured by film enthusiasts—and often difficult to find on Netflix or other streaming platforms.

The movies are made available to D.C. Public Library cardholders through the Alexander Street publishing platform. Just sign in using your DCPL log-in information, and 400 films—totaling 660 hours of footage—will be instantly available to stream. Settle in by director, filtering by Ingmar Bergman, Akira Kurosawa, Federico Fellino, and other greats. Or give yourself a film education by going through the collections, from “silent films from Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd” up to “art cinema of the 1980s and 1990s.” See the slideshow above for some of our picks.

It’s not just the Criterion Collection, though. A D.C. library card also gets you access to thousands of movies, TV shows, stand-up specials, documentaries, and children’s shows through three other platforms: Access Video, InstantFlix, and OverDrive.

Access Video specializes in educational and instruction videos, the likes of which come from PBS, BBC, the History Channel, and National Geographic. It is divided into 36 subject areas, including environmental science, philosophy and religion, health and wellness, and “just for kids.” Of note: there’s also an archive of a few dozen recorded Broadway shows, a career skills section, and more than 150 HBO titles.

For InstantFlix, you’ll need to create an account using your library ID number. Once in, you’ll find more than 7,000 indie titles. Browse by movie genre, by film festival, or by country of origin. There’s also a newly added section of TV series (for any other “I Love Lucy” fans out there, the follow-up “The Lucy Show” is available).

OverDrive, meanwhile, offers streaming movies and shows in a similar way as the library offers e-books, meaning the entirely catalog isn’t available at once. Borrowing options are for three, five, and seven days, and users get on a wait list for titles that are already checked out. There are both recent and classic movies, documentaries, a pretty robust children’s section, and a few dozen workout videos in the instructional section.

The library also has subscriptions from Alexander Street to 1,800 videos of classical music performances and masterclasses, 1,300 recorded dance performances, and 200 opera performances.

None of the services are quite as seamless as Netflix or Hulu, but they’re still pretty user-friendly—and most importantly, completely free to library card holders. Happy browsing.
