I have not. I've never seen Dark City, but it's been on my watchlist forever

1) Do you have Movies Anywhere?
2) Have you seen The Matrix?

Never even heard of Dark City

Well then, if you'd like to check out a film that is often compared to (even though it came out before) The Matrix, and is a personal favorite of mine, I can share a Screen Pass link.

Would be curious to hear your thoughts, especially since you haven't see the theatrical release that had some studio mandated edits.

Sure, send it on over! My partner and I had just talked about this movie in the last week or so, so this is nice timing.

The Movies Anywhere beta is disappointing. I own maybe three of those movies.

The limited selection combined with the extremely limited number of devices that will do 4k playback with their app have really killed my interest. Apparently my TCL isn't compatible, even though Roku TV is listed as supported. They don't have an app at all on consoles.

Yeah, that's the app I'm using. No idea why it tells me only HD is available. I watch It the other night and it definitely wasn't in 4k.

It's all about having a decent sized collection to start with. That's why I asked for percentages rather than raw numbers.

And Disney/Marvel are currently blocked from Screen Pass.
a lot of Sony items aren't as well ( for instance, every Spiderman is blocked EXCEPT for Spider-man (2002))

Its an interesting snapshot of what is "ok for others to see".

I have 66 titles able to be screenpassed out of 147 total films in MA. ~45% of my MA library.

503/668 of my MA are eligible. I didn't see an overall count for eligible so I went through the app and went in groups of nine so margin of error probably 9 but the 668 displays.
my bigger library is vudu (close to 1000) so the movies that weren't MA eligibleare probablenever came over to bring down my percentage. Overall I think it's a cool feature and I'll use to have people watch a movie they may have overlooked.

Wow, that's great. Now I get the last page of "who wants to borrow X". I should look more closely.

And to those above, Dark City is excellent. The Director's Cut has a wonderful cover jacket too.

Got into the Screen Pass beta.

It looks like around 57% of my collection is eligible for sharing via SP.

If others could post their percentages as well, it would be interesting. I'm curious what the general range is for the typical collection.

41% for me. 61 out of 150 movies.

Screen pass sounds fantastic. I'd love to watch Blade Runner FC 4K, Batman vs TNMT or another Batman animated movie if someone wants to share.
