this news is a few weeks old at this point, but thought I’d share anyway. hulu has added the entire Criterion Collection to its online library for viewing via web, tv, or mobile (hulu plus subscription required). thanks to hulu’s ad partners, you can watch free of ad interruption.

some titles to check out:

• The 400 Blows by French New Wave director François Truffaut
• The Seventh Seal
• La Jetée, a 28-minute photo roman
• George Washington (by NCSA alum and Shotgun Stories producer David Gordon Green)
• Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times

i watched Chaplin’s The Kid last night, laughing out loud by myself. they don’t make ’em like they used to.

some, but not all of these are also available on Netflix instant streaming.
