At this point we’ll just assume that you’ve seen all of this year’s Oscar nominated films, even The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared (which can be streamed on Amazon Prime), so we can focus on past Best Picture winners available for streaming. While you can rent most of these films on Amazon and other VOD platforms, these are the winners you can check out on Netflix:

After bingeing on Oscar history, you should check out these films and television shows new to streaming this week on all the various platforms:

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny (Yuen Woo-ping, 2016)

The next big venture in Netflix’s goal of movie domination, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny receives its streaming release at the same time of its theatrical and IMAX release. Unlike Beasts of No Nation, however, this sequel doesn’t have quite the same lofty awards hope—that’s not a big deal as long as Crouching Tiger delivers on the martial arts action we’re expecting. Artful martial arts films have been receiving more and more critical and cult success, starting with the insane popularity of Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon through the Raid and Ip Man series and last year’s The Assassin. In the film, Michelle Yeoh returns as the badass Yu Shu Lien, joined by newcomers Donnie Yen and longtime director and fight choreographer Yuen Woo-ping. We shall see if Sword of Destiny can re-capture of the magic that came before it and continue the martial arts critical momentum, but its release on Netflix is noteworthy regardless.

Tricked (Paul Verhoeven, 2012)

Through the 80s and 90s, Paul Verhoeven was one of the most audacious and wonderful filmmakers working—unfortunately, after a few notable flops, he largely disappeared from the cinema, only making two films in his native Netherlands after 2000. His newest film, Tricked, is finally coming to the U.S. with a limited theatrical run with a simultaneous release on streaming service Fandor. The film’s major hook is its unique production, which employed an open source strategy to write its script. Credited screenwriter Kim van Kooten wrote the first few pages, just enough to set the basic premise and introduce a few characters, before turning it over to the public to submit their ideas, plot, and dialogue. From there, Verhoeven and his production team took the best aspects of the submissions to fill out the rest of the film. Tricked takes place at the 50th birthday party of a wealthy businessman as his various affairs begin to come together. Overall, it’s a very funny, bawdy sex comedy that feels more complete than you’d think with its production story. And even though there are dozens of uncredited screenwriters on the film, it keeps its auteur’s provocative voice.

MUBI

The Barbarian Invasions (Denys Arcand, 2003)

MUBI kicks off a run of Best Foreign Language Film Oscar winners with Canadian comedy The Barbarian Invasions. Sequel to Arcand’s The Decline of the American Empire, the film takes place seventeen years later while its characters have grown older, had children, and seen their lifestyles and political leanings change. The film’s lead character, Rémy (Rémy Girard), has been diagnosed with cancer, which leads him to reunite with his estranged son (Stéphane Rousseau). With the backdrop of a struggling economic situation and political strife in Quebec, the characters banter about their philosophies on life and politics, often very humorously. Full of fantastic characters, The Barbarian Invasions is a sharp and funny film that explores life and love. Along with its Oscar win, it was also nominated for its screenplay, which is rare for a foreign language film and highlights how smartly it tackles its topics through its characters. You can stream The Barbarian Invasions on MUBI until March 25.

iTunes & Video On-Demand

The Nightingale (Philippe Muyl, 2013)

China’s Academy Award submission in 2014, The Nightingale finally comes to the U.S. on iTunes and VOD this week. It is a simple and beautiful story of an elderly man who goes on a journey to a countryside village with his city-ized granddaughter. The film makes takes a sharp look at the differences between the growing urbanization in China and the stunning landscapes outside of its mega-cities. Directed by an outsider, Muyl’s camera absorbs the environments with incredible appreciation, making for a visual feast. Thematically, it explores the disconnect we have with our environment as that becomes less valued—it’s not exactly new thematic ground, but the film’s visual sense and understated narrative work through the themes wonderfully.

Over the past few weeks, our Now Streaming features have been chronicling the rapidly blurred line between theatrical and streaming releases. The most high-profile example of this so far is Netflix’s upcoming release of Beasts of No Nation, directed by Cary Fukunaga and starring Idris Elba. The first trailer for the film dropped yesterday, along with news the film will open in 19 Landmark Theaters simultaneously with its global launch on the streaming service (via Deadline).

We’ve seen a lot of deals where a film would first open in theaters, perhaps with a shortened release schedule, before becoming available to stream. And of course many small films are available on VOD the same day (or even before) as theaters. To see a film with this kind of profile opening in theaters and a subscription service together, as opposed to a pay-per-view platform, is something else entirely. It will be very interesting to see how the film performs in both arenas and what potential ripples that may have on film distribution. For now, check out these new-to-streaming movies that have already made their theatrical run, as well as a hotly anticipated original series.

Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp (Season 1)

At long last, the prequel series of the cult comedy hits Netflix today, with all eight episodes of the first season available to stream. Creators David Wain and Michael Showalter were somehow able to get all of the film’s impressive (and now, in some cases, popular) cast back together, including Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, Elizabeth Banks, David Hyde Pierce, and newcomer Jason Schwartzman. The idea of revisiting Camp Firewood 14 years later as a prequel is wonderfully silly and ripe with possibilities of parody, potentially showcasing Wain and Showalter’s comedic strengths. We shall see if the lightning-in-the-bottle nature of Wet Hot American Summer, with its reputation growing over time, will be reignited or tarnished—in any case, it is an honorable experiment.

Other titles new to Netflix this week:
52 Tuesdays (Sophie Hyde, 2013)

Fandor

The Battle of Algiers (Gillo Pontecorvo, 1966)

This week, Fandor is taking a sharp look at one of cinema’s greatest years: 1966. Maybe the best of the bunch is the vital and vibrant The Battle of Algiers. The film captures the violent Algerian rebellion against the colonial French in a documentary style that puts the viewer right into the conflict. Using coarse black-and-white photography, statistical information, and a full-scope narrative give The Battle of Algiers its unique presentation and tone—more like an educational video than the war/action film that it could suit. That doesn’t make the film any less thrilling, though, especially since it is just as biting and politically relevant today as it was in 1966. With all of Fandor’s Criterion Picks, you only have a short time to catch it, so make sure you watch The Battle of Algiers and their other selections from 1966 before they expire on August 9.

MUBI

Too Much Johnson (Orson Welles, 1938)

I hadn’t realized that there was a Orson Welles film I never heard of, but then MUBI comes along with a 1938 short feature comedy from the great director. The oddly titled film involves a woman with two male lovers; when her husband discovers the other man, he goes on a wild chase to find him. The film had been thought lost until a print was discovered in an Italian warehouse in 2008—after a few years of restoration, it made it’s long-overdue premiere in 2013. This is a terrific example of what makes MUBI an excellent service, as they very personally curate their films, giving a spotlight to each one. This shows up in an eclectic group of films available at any given time, with many selections not easily accessed elsewhere.

Other titles new to MUBI this week:
Ashes (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2012)

Video On-Demand

White God (Kornél Mundruczó, 2014)

A “Must See Indie” now available on VOD with its release on DVD and Blu-ray, White God is a shocking mash-up of genres with a very intriguing premise. The film follows Hagen, a mixed-breed dog who is abandoned by his young owner’s father onto the streets of Budapest. So Hagen does what any dog would do: recruit an army of canine followers to rise against the humans. It is a strange twist on the hero’s tale and an immensely enjoyable one at that. Not only did the film win the Certain Regard prize at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, but also the Palm Dog Award—and, no, I’m not making that up, that’s a real thing. In our review of the film, we said “White God is absolutely an insta-classic dog film, but it’s also superbly crafted genre cinema, and a canine fairytale that’s sure to sweep audiences off their feet.”
