I would like to share a movie subscription service with you today that focuses on movies and shows to watch together. 🙂 Now you can enjoy movies with Feeln, a division of Hallmark. Academy award winning producer, Rob Fried, founded Feeln. You might recognize his name because he produced Rudy and was part of the team that created Hoosiers and many other successful films.
How Does Feeln Select Their Movies:
Our Standards
Every film on Feeln is chosen by people who love movies — they love the way they look, the way they sound, and most importantly, the way they make you feel. Our members should not only feel comfortable, but delighted to watch any Feeln movie with anyone in their home. To deliver on that promise, every title we choose must pass two simple tests: the quality standard and the “together” test.
The Quality Standard
We start very simple — with every movie ever made, just like everyone else. But that is where our similarities end. From there we begin curating our offering by insisting that anything you watch on Feeln must have an uplifting story with extraordinary writing, acting, and directing. It must be so well-crafted that it moves, delights, or inspires — and stays with you long after the final credits roll.
The “Together” Test
Our second standard is more difficult to meet, but critical to our charge — the “together” test. Every movie should be one that you want to watch with everyone in your home. Maybe you loved it as a kid, maybe you want to share it with your own kids — or maybe it just makes you feel good. For all these reasons, and more of your own, it’s a movie that you’ll want to experience over and over again – together.
At Feeln, a group of passionate filmmakers produce and curate movies that tell sweet stories that can be enjoyed by all. Feeln showcases a selection over 80 original short films. Hollywood blockbusters are also provided on Feeln and new features are added often.
I like having the opportunity to share great movies that I grew up with as a kid with my own children. I won’t forget going over to my best friend’s house as a kid and her loading Annie on an RCA CED system. I had to do some research because I could only remember her inserting these large flat discs into a player to learn what it was actually called. Sorry got off track there. Anyway, Annie is a classic movie that still can win over hearts today and is great for people of all ages. There are also other movies great for their stories and music, like Grease and Footloose, available on Feeln.
A League of Their Own shares the trials and tribulations of an all-american girls professional baseball league. And who could forget the classics like Sleepless in Seattle?
Feeln can be used on the iPhone, iPad, Android, Nook, Kindle Fire, Roku, Google TV, and Apple TV, XBox 360, and computer. Your computer needs a broadband connection, current browser version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE 8 or later, plus using Window XP or Mac OS 10.3 or higher. Check out this page for further details on supported devices.
I was at first trying to watch Feeln on my laptop and using a HDMI cable hooked up to the television so we had a larger screen to view it on. I connect to our DSL router wirelessly and couldn’t get movies over half an hour in length play on Feeln, but could watch movies off of Amazon Prime so I was puzzled for a while. My version of Silverlight and Adobe Flash Player were up to date, which is needed for Feeln.
I finally discovered with communicating to Feeln tech support that my bandwidth was too slow for Feeln so we have to watch them through our desktop that is connected directly to the router. Feeln recommends at least 3 Mbps to stream video in SD format and at least 5 Mbps to stream HD movies. You can check your band with on Bandwidth Place or Speedtest. As long as your connection speed is up to par, you will not be disappointed by Feeln.
