website for finding new movies

After watching Premium Rush, I was on an extreme bicycle-movie kick, specifically bike messengers/couriers/delivery people. So I stumbled upon this 1986 film, Quicksilver, which sounded similar to Premium Rush so I watched it. Turns out it was nothing like Premium Rush and was also incredibly bad, because everyone except the extras acted like complete morons and left me with a craving for brain cells and, more than before, a movie as good as Premium Rush. The website Best Similar, though it hasn't helped me find a movie like Premium Rush, has given me so many new movies to watch.

It's explicitly for that purpose, so that you can click on a genre or a defining trait of that movie and find the exact thing you're in the mood for (bicycles, chases, NYC, corrupt officials, cops, college, high school, drama, romance, comedy, road trips, moving out, growing up, switching bodies, heists, magic, fairy tales, grief, loss, nostalgia, parties, cars, fashion, suspense, thrillers, etc.) and now I have a couple bicycle movies on my watchlist as well as other movies they said were similar.

If that doesn't work to find a movie, try couchpop.com - I'm not sure how to best navigate their website yet, but if you google "similar to _ couchpop", you can go to a page that compares movies to that movie, as well as gives taglines for that movie. This way, you click on the tagline(s) of the things you want to see replicated in another movie and it takes you to a list of movies like that. For me, it would be bicycles, bicycle courier, race against the clock, crime, maybe NYC, etc.

You can also try taste.io or tastedive.com (both of which may be similar to couchpop in that you have to google it to get to the right page). Reddit is also helpful if you have an account and are desperate enough to wait a few weeks to a year before people reply with good suggestions. Or reply at all.

If you're still not satisfied with that, go watch Premium Rush and be unsatisfied about the fact that it is the only good bicycle movie out there and there isn't really anything better than Wilee getting chased by a cop and losing his cool bc he's so sick of nearly dying, doing stunts and marathons around NYC, all while tryna beat the clock. It won't make you feel any better but at least it'll make you feel like me.

The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen 📕

In order of how I like their format (font size, spacing, how easy/accessible it is to get to the next page and jump around within the book), going from most appealing to least appealing, not counting the ads that break up the flow of reading.

Read Agatha Christie Free Online 📚

Heads-up: when you click on a book and you get to the end of the page, there's a TINY link at the bottom, below the ad (or where an ad would be, if you have adblocker) that says "next page". You'll need a magnifying glass, but it's there if you look hard enough.

LIL PSA HERE!!

If you enjoyed a book you read online, please consider buying it! My personal recommendation is (and will always be) Thriftbooks, an online resource for getting second-hand, steeply discounted books that would otherwise be left to gather dust as someone buys a brand new one off of Amazon.

Please support your local book stores and libraries, as well as buying second hand to minimize the number of new editions and printings made every year! In general, if it's a book that's been around for awhile, or isn't in great condition, you'll get a great bargain. You will be paying for shipping ($5 if you're in the US, much higher if you're outside of it), as well.

Note: if you make an account with thriftbooks, you get 8 points for every $1 spent, and a free book for every 500 points earned! If you're going to be buying books anyway, you might as well get points, and eventually a free book, for doing so!

Website Simply For Self-Published Short Stories

Bored? Lonely? Boring and lonely? Ready for some new short stories, because long ones aren't it for you?

Look no further. These may not be well-written, as it's more of a group effort on this website, but they do have an abundance of short stories, as they're all written by those who are part of the site. This isn't a "read free online" so much as a "read other people's stuff online that they put out there themselves". It's more of a Wattpad than a Project Gutenberg, Open Library, Internet Archive, or even a 100vampirenovels.

But it's still a cool concept and might be fun for you, so go ahead and risk getting sucked in. They're short stories, it won't take too long.

Heads up: it requires an account before you can access the stories.

the Agatha Christie website is by far the coolest place to go in 2021

forget the Bahamas, have you been to the home of Agatha Christie. The online home, I mean. The site that says "home of Agatha Christie" at the top. It's got so many resources - FIRST, you have a complete and comprehensive list of not only the murder mysteries she wrote, but the plays, the short stories, and the un-murder mysteries (eg, Mary Westmacott). You can filter these by detective, and you can also filter them by A-Z or first published. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you can DOWNLOAD A HERCULE POIROT READING LIST or a Miss Marple reading list, OR A COMPLETE AGATHA CHRISTIE READING LIST!

It gets better. They have multiple reading lists. Some way more personalized ones, some way more quirky ones, and some way more cool ones.

You can also look through the film and TV section, which is exactly what you'd expect, a full list of all the adaptions made so far. You can also visit their YouTube channel. What they do there, and whether it's as cool and helpful as their website, I have no idea. 

There is also a list of characters that she has in her stories. I was surprised to find that Inspector Japp, Superintendent Battle, Captain Hastings, and Colonel Race aren't on there. I thought for sure they'd make the list before Harley Quin or Parker Pyne did because they're such notable, well-known characters. At least in Colonel Race's case, since he actually has (what, four?) books where he stars as the detective.

And at the very bottom you can sign up for their newsletter.

Come, see, and conquer the world of Agatha Christie, you won't regret it.

List of Agatha Christie Short Stories

If you ever want to read all of them and you need a(n almost) comprehensive list, wiki fandoms have you covered. The Agatha Christie wikia fandom has a list, complete with links, US and UK collections, and two comments! It doesn't include Problem At Pollensa Bay, The Harlequin Tea Set, Magnolia Blossom, or Next to a Dog.

LINK.  https://agathachristie.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_short_stories_by_Agatha_Christie

UPDATE: I found another, actually comprehensive list that is far more helpful and has filters you can add to narrow it down to what type of short story you'd like to read. It's the official Agatha Christie site, which means it's the official short story list.

LINK.  https://www.agathachristie.com/stories?format=short-story&character=all

I'm hoping in the near future to have each of these available here, but for now you'll have to go somewhere else to read her short stories for free. I'll be putting a list of links together someday soon while I slowly add onto my collection of free books available on here.
