WesternFlix Free
WesternFlix Free functions as a "relic vault," continually replenished with American archives. Upon initial registration—optional, just an email address—you're asked whether you prefer Italian spaghetti, silent serials, or Hollywood blockbusters. That choice trains an algorithm that places the titles closest to your taste on the home screen. The player offers an HD/SD switch; if your bandwidth drops, the image drops to 576p without cutting out the dialogue or the final duel.
What makes the service unique
- Temporary unloading cabinet: Store up to ten movies for thirty days for flights or dead-end areas.
- 90-second mini-documentary before each film, with anecdotes from the shoot narrated by young critics.
- Audio Selector: Original mono tracks or remastered stereo tracks, depending on your equipment.
