Dial M for Murder - Alfred Hitchcock (1954)

Very clever and loads of fun (although obviously not a comedy). Based on a play and filmed mostly in one room so I think the original writers should get most of the kudos. Grace Kelly isn't much of an actress but she is pretty to look at. The beginning is a little too fast and confusing but thankfully you can rewind to catch up. Once the ball starts rolling it's very compelling. And the ending is very satisfying although just a touch unrealistic.
A Hitch flick I haven't seen. Thanks. Free on PLEX

I'll check this one out. Criterion Channel, I presume.

Always thought I was more of an Antonioni guy myself, but saw Roma in a theater a few months ago and was blown away by how sharp and funny and original it was. This one is a pretty similar film, every bit as funny and brilliant. I torrented it, right now I don't have to worry about the provider turning off my internet cause of that, I'm temporarily in a safe zone for illegal downloads so I don't have to subscribe to any streaming services.

Wow, I didn't know someone somewhere is actually getting into trouble for torrenting. Do vpns help?

Btw how do they understand you're torrenting and not streaming? The amount of data should be the same.

They don't. Especially if you watch torrents on movie sites like Sflix. That particular one is my backup when I can't find what I want on the myriad streaming sites I frequent. Streaming/ownership rights have forced most of the legit sites to stream the same content anyway, which reminds me -

A hero - Asghar Farhadi (2021)

Another masterpiece from the director of A separation (for which he won an Oscar). Should be subtitled The road to hell is paved with good intentions. 2h of anguish as good but not great people try to wrangle the system and catch a break.

Claudine, starring Diahann Carroll and James Earl Jones. Been listening to the soundtrack lately, which piqued my interest in the film. Such a bittersweet movie with really endearing performances by Carroll and Jones. I was pleased to learn it's in The Criterion Collection.

People do get in trouble for torrenting in Canada/US. I was a very prolific piratebay user for years in Canada but nothing happened probably because I was downloading relatively esoteric or at least foreign stuff, not something Disney or whoever might have any stake in. But later when a neighbor in NYC showed me the letter he got for downloading a new season of Rick and Morty (first strike out of three), I got spooked and stopped.

VPN is too advanced for me, and since it isn't free, doesn't it defeat the purpose?

Couldn't say what's the difference between streaming and torrenting, I go to streaming sites mostly to watch soccer.
