Originally founded in 2002, Shout Factory is a long-standing leader in independent film and television distribution. They have recently started a streaming service called ShoutFactory that streams their content as well as some live channels (for the most part, lineups of their series that play on repeat) but it does have a lot of classics in both the indie and blockbuster department. The streaming service is mostly free, but a paid subscription of $3.99/month unlocks even more content and removes those pesky ads.
Also available as an Amazon Prime Video channel for $2.99
