PACKAGE 1: ‘THE MAINSTREAMER’ Its foundational pillars are Amazon Video ($8.99) and Netflix ($9.99). (For the sake of coherence, I’m going to stick to monthly rates, before taxes; note that Amazon’s video service comes with Amazon Prime’s $99 annual fee.) Hulu carries more television shows than movies, but it’s not light on movies, particularly popular ones. Unless you like to watch commercials, in which case your Hulu will run $7.99, the desirable option will be commercial-free version at $11.99. Add HBO Now ($14.99), Starz ($8.99) and Showtime ($10.99). That’s $65.94 worth of monthly streaming. (Explorers of Amazon Video/Amazon Prime will point out that there’s a good deal of HBO programming already free through the service; this doesn’t include movies currently on HBO, or the most recent original programming, including made-for-the-channel movies. This is worth considering when determining whether or not to add HBO Now.) But if you want to rent or purchase a film on demand, either a classic or something recently released in theaters, there are also movies available à la carte, from $2.99 to $14.99, available on Amazon, Vudu, Google Play, iTunes and more. Let’s postulate that each month you spend $2.99, $4.99 and $14.99 on a single movie from one of these — that’s $22.97. So the services and a few potentially spur-of-the-moment purchases, you’re looking at $88.91. Not exactly cheap, but were I to pitch it to you with the proviso “Less Than $100 a Month,” you might think, “Not bad.”

PACKAGE 2: ‘THE BUFF’ These are movie-only or movie-heavy sites that offer cinema of a more artistic, esoteric, possibly obscure bent, and reject American cultural hegemony by, in most cases, going around the world for their fare. I’d say the foundation would be FilmStruck with the Criterion Channel option at $10.99 a month. It’s $6.99 a month without Criterion, but you’ll want Criterion, for its smartly chosen array of largely foreign cinematic milestones. Warner Archive ($9.99) is the odds and ends of a great American studio, not a very global concern but still full of enticing options. Then there’s the limited-run streaming art house Mubi ($5.99), which has, during special promotions, offered enticing yearly subscription discounts ($34.99 as opposed to $47.99). Fandor, an eclectic and often exciting service with thousands of movies ranging from martial arts romps such as “Master of the Flying Guillotine” to expansive, obscure French brainteasers like “Out 1,” is $10 a month. And the solid indie provider Sundance Now, which also offers original series, is $6.99. That’s about $44 a month.

PACKAGE 3: ‘THE FRINGE’ If you like genre movies above all, or like digging for cinematic thrills in obscure but not necessarily arty corners, this might be a good option. You’ll need Warner Archive ($9.99); the blaxploitation service Brown Sugar ($3.99); and the horror specialist Screamhouse ($4.99), which runs scary gamuts each with its own menu subheading, including “Extreme,” which has the indeed highly unpleasant “Cannibal Ferox.” Shudder, another horror service ($4.99), recently made waves by offering the controversial Ken Russell nuns-gone-wild film “The Devils”; finicky horror lovers almost immediately protested on social media that it was not the uncut version. (In fairness to Shudder, the actual provenance of an uncut version of this movie is highly obscure.) Amazon’s video service is rife with noir titles in various states of disrepair or restoration. A lot of genre stuff in the public domain (until a copyright owner can effectively yell “Foul!”) is on YouTube, which is free; for the sake of argument, we’ll add YouTubeRed ($9.99) to this bill of fare. Crunchyroll has an anime-only membership for $6.95. And the Urban Movie Channel ($4.99) is not as blaxploitation-heavy as Brown Sugar, but it doesn’t exactly lack, either, especially when it comes to latter-day genre variants like the Southern sins-of-the-fathers 2009 thriller “In the Electric Mist” or the bayou-psychic tale “The Sickle” (2015). Total: a little over $45; with Amazon added as a digging option, a little under $55.

All this of course can be supplemented by free services other than YouTube, like the site of DVD label Shout! Factory and Vimeo. If only there was a service that would allow one to buy leisure time, we’d be all set.
