GreenCine Best of the Bay 2009 Winner: San Francisco Magazine
Well we're just both surprised (since this happened over the summer, but better late than never!) and tickled to death that San Francisco Magazine has kindly chosen us for their Best of the Bay list.
Stay-at-home film school
In the five years since we first picked GreenCine, this San Francisco online-rental company has gone from good idea to local institution. Think of it as Netflix mashed up with your local independent video store. It offers the wide selection of obscure genres and art films that cinephiles crave, along with the helpful advice you’d normally get from the person behind the counter. Intrigued by film noir but embarrassed because you don’t really know what that means? GreenCine explains the genre and recommends its favorites. Instead of a list of popular rom-coms, the site offers the Top 10 Environmental Documentaries That Don’t Rhyme with a Schminconvenient Schmuth, plus interviews with hot new indie filmmakers and discussions about the best cult vampire films. greencine.com
