Somehow it seems that we’re adding even more titles to our collection. This month has probably set some sort of record: we got over 200<\/b> titles this month, including 19 television shows. It would be silly to narrow it down to a few highlights, but you are guaranteed to find something you’ll love. Epic fantasy movies, award-winning documentaries, romantic period dramas, heist films, beloved children’s movies, and a few new Criterion titles… the list could go on for pages. And it does!<\/p>\n

Read on to see what else we picked up this month.
