If Netflix doesn't satisfy your craving for vintage cinema, we suggest you give Warner Archive Instant a try. The collection of rare and forgotten films from classic studios such as Warner Bros., MGM and RKO offers a peek into the the annals of movie history -- or, on a less austere note, a stellar binge-watching compendium for a rainy, snowy day. Rookies get a free two-week trial. Here are some standouts:
