Net Notables

These are sites that host movies in the public domain, many of which are classics. All you need is a broadband connection and some popcorn.

bMovies.com: There are some good ones here: Bad Taste (Peter Jackson’s first feature-length film), Metropolis, Angel and the Badman, Mclintock, The Outlaw, Carnival of Souls, Dementia 13 (Coppola’s first film), House on Haunted Hill (classic Vincent Price vehicle), Little Shop of Horrors (early Jack Nicholson), Night of the Living Dead (classic low-budget fright-fest), Nosferatu (Murnau’s creepy silent film), The Last Man on Earth, and Death of a Ninja.

Emol.org has a sizable selection, but they’re only viewable in a small format. Some of the movies they host are downloadable. Some of their titles are Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps, the classic Long John Silver with Robert Newton, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Fire Over England, Rashomon, Beat The Devil, The Man Who Knew Too Much, My Favorite Brunette, Dressed to Kill, Suddenly, My Man Godfrey, His Girl Friday, Charade, Penny Serenade, Scarlet Street.

Freemoviescinema.com has a good selection, with some avant-garde titles like Lucifer Rising.

But the most impressive outlet I’ve found for finding free movies online is Moviesfoundonline.com. They have tons of links to public domain movies and tv shows hosted by others on video sharing sites.
