Especially for watching Criterion films. 

Haven't found anything yet. Kind of sad that something of this quality isn't available anymore.

If Criterion has announced something about a replacement I haven't seen it.  I'm sure all of the TCM stuff on Filmstruck will get folded up into some larger ATT/Warner Brothers service.  

 

If you're looking for a streaming service that gets off the beaten path in the meantime, Mubi might be worth a look for you.  They put one movie up every day and it stays up for 30 days.  Interesting idea but it's pretty hit or miss.  

I doubt they release something too similar or Filmstruck would've switched to that model.

Well, if you loved the curated programming we’ve been doing with our friends at FilmStruck, we have good news for you. The Criterion Collection team is going to be carrying on with that mission, launching the Criterion Channel as a freestanding service in spring 2019.

We’ve been trying to make something a little different for the past two years—a movie lover’s dream streaming service, with smart thematic programming, where the history of cinema can live and breathe, where a new generation of filmmakers and film lovers can explore the classics or revel in rarities, where adventurous cinephiles can champion films that have never gotten their due, and newcomers can easily find guidance from major filmmakers, top scholars, curators, and other experts from all walks of life.

The Criterion Channel will be picking up where the old service left off, programming director spotlights and actor retrospectives featuring major Hollywood and international classics and hard-to-find discoveries from around the world, complete with special features like commentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, and original documentaries. We will continue with our guest programmer series, Adventures in Moviegoing. Our regular series like Art-House America, Split Screen, and Meet the Filmmakers, and our Ten Minutes or Less section will all live on, along with Tuesday’s Short + Feature and the Friday Night Double Feature, and of course our monthly fifteen-minute film school, Observations on Film Art.

11 monthly/100 yearly. 10 monthly/90 yearly plus some tchotchkes if you sign up as a charter member.
