Fandor has been live for less than a year, but it’s already received a fair amount of attention as word of the service makes its way around the cinephile community and beyond. We were happy to close out our first year of existence with our own in-house top ten list of titles, in order of streaming traffic, as published in The Village Voice. It’s worth mentioning that nine of the ten titles have had an editorial piece written about them on Keyframe. We are as pleased with the quality of writers found on Fandor as much as that of the films. Here is the top ten list, along with related Keyframe articles:
1. Fallen Angels (1995)
“Delirious Detritus” by Phillip Maher
