In the mood for a rare classic? Warner Archive Instant have got an app for that...
Okay, you’re in the mood for a Bogart movie, but not Casablanca, you’ve seen that dozens of times, you want Isle of Fury or The Return of Dr. X. They’re not on Netflix. What are you gonna do? Warner Bros., which probably made the movie you were looking for anyway, announced a new streaming service specifically designed to help you find those elusive classic films.
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment launched a new subscription streaming service for classic movie and TV connoisseurs as an iPad™ app for iOS 6 and 7. The studio recently launched Warner Archive Instant, which you get for free for two weeks when you sign up for it.
Rare classic films and TV shows from the biggest entertainment library in the world will come streaming at you in 1080p HD. After the free trial, subscriptions are $9.99 a month. Warner Archive Instant is also available on Roku, PCs and Macs.
Justin Herz, Senior Vice President, Direct-to-Consumer, Warner Bros. Digital Distribution & General Manager, Warner Bros. Advanced Digital Services said “We’re very excited to roll out an iPad app for Warner Archive Instant as we also continue to grow the service on Roku, our first viewing platform. Both give consumers an exceptional HD viewing experience and will pave the way for broader device expansion throughout the next year. The new Warner Archive Instant iPad app is another step forward in our continued efforts to make the Warner Bros. library of rare, classic content available to consumers.”
Warner Archive Instant has hundreds of movies available from every period throughout Hollywood history. They have silent movies, movies made before the code, art house classics and B westerns. Besides movies from Warner Brothers, you can also stream films from MGM, RKO, New Line, Monogram, Allied Artists, Lorimar and other studios.
If you can’t find it, maybe it’s not worth watching. Well, that can’t be true. But chances are it’s in there.
