Becoming parents has really impacted our ability to keep up on current cinema. But thanks to Netflix, Amazon, Mubi and now Filmstruck, we've been able to really dive deep on catalogue titles from around the world. Between 'Becca'lise's quest to see all 250 films from Sight & Sound's 2012 list and Craig's #52FilmsByWomen challenge we were able to discover some really cool and fascinating films.
