Find (Legal) Downloadable Old Movies Online



Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920) directed by John S. Robertson, starring John Barrymore, Nita Naldi, Martha Mansfield, Brandon HurstVia CNET: "Finding old movies — legally, systematically and at no cost — isn't always easy. They've begun to pop up on sites like Entertainment Magazine and Public Domain Torrents. Veoh's founders started their site last year mainly for people to post home movies. But they soon realised people had a desire to track down old Hollywood flicks and classic videos.

"The cult classics posted on the site have all fallen out of copyright, either because of their age or because of owners who failed to protect them. Anyone can upload films to the site; both posting and viewing is free. Veoh plans to make money through advertising and commissions on pay-to-download selections. So far, about 90 movies are available on Veoh's cult classics page."

    I'm looking for a copy (online or physical) of the movie "Virginia" (1941). It was directed by Edward H. Griffith. I've looked at every source I can think of. Any information anyone can provide would be much appreciated.

    Nicollette, have you tried netflix? That Alan Alda movie is great and not so old. I think I have it on VHS. You should be able to find it at any lending library, on Netflix.com or Amazon.com or ebay.

    Let me know if you try all those and come up blank and I will try to help you look some more.

    I once viewed a movie in the 70s, I think, that had a theme of a blonde hooker in a small town that hung around a bar. There was a young man attracted to her but he was too young and timid to say anything. As the movie progressed something happened that caused the hooker to go into a shack near the bar and allowed herself to be used by many men from the bar. There was a line of men waiting their turn.Do you know of the movie?

    I am looking for a movie that I watched in the 80's about the kourou Expedition which would have taken place perhaps in the falkland island-not sure. An army of soldiers were burning cane fields while people were working and hiding in there. I cannot remember the title and would like to see it again. Thank you.

    I remember a move in which this nice old gentlemen counterfeited one dollar bills. The government men tried for years to catch him without success until he makes a little slip and passes one of his bills at a shop that has been checking their money and they catch him. I remember one scene where the kind old gent is going to give a dollar to some young friend and has to search through all his pockets finding bills before he finds a legit bill to give .
