This gives you access to a large selection of films, series, and documentaries. There is even a separate section for the younger viewers with an interesting range of products.

But it's worth it: The site offers, among other things, many high-quality international and German arthouse films. 

What it costs: Filmfriend.de is free with a valid city ​​library card.

By the way: did you know that streaming also produces CO2 emissions? You can easily reduce it with a few tips.

Watch films and videos carefully, don't let them run on the side. Reduce the quality - it doesn't always have to be 8K. A small screen (e.g., cell phone) is also more sustainable.
