    'Drive' director's free cult film streaming service debuts this month

    Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn has taken his sweet time launching his free cult film streaming service, but it's finally here... almost. As part of an editorial in The Guardian, Refn has confirmed that ByNWR should officially launch later in July. There are only four movies available at first. However, they definitely live up to the goal of preserving overlooked and marginal titles, including Night Tide (an important "pre-counterculture" movie, Refn said), The Nest of the Cuckoo Birds (a one-man "obsession"), The Burning Hell ("extreme" biblical propaganda) and Hot Thrills and Warm Chills (which doesn't have a "single drop of good taste").
