Having a brother that is extremely keen on cinema from territories like Russia and India (and who often has me watching these titles with him) I can realize how convenient a site like Mubi can turn out to be. In general terms, it can be defined as an online film library in which movies that don’t really have worldwide distribution become listed and instantly viewable.
This means that Mubi is one of the most immediate ways to get to see these foreign movies that sound interesting but that you fully know they are not making it to your local cinema. These titles can be streamed for free on the site, and there is a whole social twist to it all since you can discuss these films with others. In that way, you can get to learn even more about independent and foreign cinema.
When all is said and done, I share in the belief expressed on the site: popular is not always good. It doesn’t always mean “appalling” all the time, either. A site like this one will let anybody have a chance of realizing what lies beyond the cinematographic world he is familiarized with, and do so at absolutely no cost.
Mubi.com In Their Own Words

Why Mubi.com It Might Be A Killer
The site has such a potential for discovery that lovers of the seventh art just can’t go wrong.
