Criterion's "The Auteurs" Site Lets You Watch Awesome Movies Online for Free

Oh, Criterion. How do I love thee? You release stunning remastered DVDs of every awesome movie ever, from Amarcord to Dazed and Confused. As soon as I hit the lottery, I'm buying every single movie in their collection.

If they weren't already awesome enough, Criterion has joined the league of sites to offer free streaming media online.

Hulu.com and their ilk are all great, but their offerings are limited, especially if you want to watch some movies that are slightly off the beaten path.

Movie lovers who sign up at The Auteurs are able to watch movies in superb quality online for free. FOR FREE. My god, this is amazing.

Just browsing through their offerings, I'm already making a list of what I want to watch right away:

Russian Ark
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Permanent Vacation
The State of Things
4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
Cookie's Fortune
Stranger than Paradise
Palindromes

Who's up for a MamaPop screening party? I'll make popcorn.
