Netflix offers a good amount of his movies actually.

Sadly though:

Pather Panchali - 9.5

Don't understand why I haven't watched more from him. Perhaps it's my general dislike from the Indian cinema I have seen.

Here we are for Satyajit Ray's week. Embrace the wonder of Indian cinema, despite the lack of offerings that Netflix offers for his works. They have 14 of his films available. There's really no excuse to not see more of Satyajit's films, especially considering their quality all seems to range from good to great.

[Derek]

Devi (1960) - 8.0

Woops, overlooked this. Yet another great one.

[Duncan]

Pather Panchali - 9.0

I've always wanted to see Pather Panchali and the Apu Trilogy but for whatever reason 'flix doesn't offer that one. Your other point, however, is noted, so I'll try to get the Instant Viewing of Mahanagar before the week is up.

[origami_mustache]

I've been putting off the Apu trilogy for a while now :/
