🕰️ Archives & Public Domain
For those who love the "golden age" and silent films:
• WikiFlix: browse public domain films hosted on Wikimedia Commons.
• Internet Archive: you know that, it's like the wild west of cinema. Everything from film noir to silent expressionism is parked here for eternity. Might need a good digging attitude.
📌 Many of these sites operate on a "rotating" basis (films stay up for 30 days, or more). Sign up for their newsletters so you don't miss the good stuff.
Do you have any favorite "secret" place to watch great movies?
