old movies on youtube

This is mostly what I watch these days and some of them are pretty good so I'll just post them here:

if it doesn't play in english, you can change the audio to english generally

Ewww, yes! I wish Turner Classic Movies was still around.

This is one of my favorite. Yes it's creepy, and iconic for the scenes towards the end where the pig does strange facial expressions. In reality however, this is a pretty remarkable costume. At the time I don't think they were trying to be creepy, but just showing off their amazing costume, and all the things it could do. Though I bet some of you seen clips or gifs of this pig, specifically doing the strange functions at the end. However, for 1907 this is pretty amazing imo. Bravo France.

Sorry every old movies I watch has to be purchased from YouTube. So I watch them on other apps for free.

Most of the old sherlock holmes movies are there

Saura made some legendary movies.

I don't know how it's possible to see in english but "Peppermint Frappé" is a must watch. A creepy story of intense carnal obsession with some incredible 1960s cinematography and aesthetics

Almost a century old, "The thin man" franchise is one of the best detective franchise from the 30s, but the movies are not easily available on youtube. An ex socialite solves crimes while managing his recent marriage and social obligations





There are a couple movies in this playlist, and you can probably find more

A bit less sophisticated, the Charlie Chan franchise is interesting too if you can endure the racial stereotype.

there's a number of different actors variations and some of the casts are quite funny

neither old nor youtube, but this musical documentary about ZZ-TOP is freaking good and I could finally find a free link to it

https://www.youtube.com/@ComputerChroniclesYT

A youtube channel with the episodes of this old computer themed show going from the 80s into the late 90s.

Very interesting for the nostalgia and tech evolution

A real treasure trove, this yt channel offers playlists with almost full TV shows going from the 20s to the 50s. Some of them so old they were aired in cinema because TV didn't exist.

Includes, the old Flash gordon episodes, old sherlock holmes, an old indiana jones prototype from the 20s with john wayne, etc

Probably the soviets' answer to James Bond, 'The Elusive Avengers' is a serie of 1960s adventure movies with young heroes of the revolution in a coming of age, first fighting white russians during the civil war, then becoming part of the Tchekist police to hunt the last saboteurs, then going to paris to foil an evil plot against the crown of the tsar.

It's a mix of spaghetti eastern, adventure, propaganda movie and a few goofy musical sequences, with some fine 1960s cinematography and some nostalgic poetry

For those that miss the old straight-to-video action/karate/horror movies of the late 80s/90s, filmix exists

I didn't actually watch these movies back in the day because they were really dumb, but now I enjoy the retro aesthetics greatly

A linux forum thread with a ton of links

this is my letterboxd list with a ton of old Criterion films that are largely free on YT. not all are worth watching, but it was an awesome experience watching all of them. I have them each rated

https://tinyurl.com/3ncf7u2w

here are the rest of my lists. the Ingmar Bergman list being the most extensive, & probably what I had shared on here on the dragonhorsecvck account along with some Jean-Luc Godard. the vintage Japanese Godzillas have a ranked list also, most are trash but the top ones are a vibe.



I just shared this with Cloudy today on my blank thread, it's an old Louis Malle documentary of Glencoe, Wisconsin in the aftermath of WWII & it's hilarious. I liked & gave 3 stars (which is pretty good for me)

why continue making movies when the best movie ever made already exists

What is it, its not available in my country and I've gotta watch the best movie ever made asap.

here are these as a gift btw







^No subtitles, in French but Beau Travail, I gave 5 stars. I wish Hara-Kiri was free on YT.

Alien Private Eye

It's a bit of a joke movie so you can probably skip it

Thanks for the recs

This is a good movie, and I don't like most movies. Searchers looking for answers.



Billy Murray in a serious role? Enlightenment?

first vid is blocked for me, but razor edge looks interesting

https://www.effedupmovies.com/sinful-dwarf-1973/

Effedupmovies.com has tons of kino shit for free, and they're high-quality streams with few popups compared to similar sites. Sinful dwarf has sick funk guitar-hooker sex. I might rewatch now.

ok here's my ranked list of 59 movies ive watched on effedupmovies.com, about to add a 60th when I watch Buffalo '66 tonight

how could I forget this. 5 stars



4 stars

Loved this movie as a little girl for some reason.

This one isn’t that old, but I really enjoyed it. Watched it over and over.

This mogged Night of the Hunter imo. The lead was a slay.

To contribute to the thread:

bergman : never watched a movie, at least I don't remember it

Tarantino: I hate him since pulp fiction bc of vulgarity and low-level pop culture rehashing(most of his fans in europe are degenerates who enjoy comic books and forced americanisms), the movie about hollywood is the only one I enjoyed

Godard : ugh, the pope of french hipsters, he represents a really disgusting part of french society, a mix of boomerism and media mafia favoritism

refn: yep, it's another reddit favorite. I only saw Drive, but I think all the movies are the same, pointlessly violent and devoid of substance. He looks like a scandinavian bicyclist living in a throuple to save the planet

korine : never saw a movie, but I'm not attracted by the general filth aesthetics

waters: I like the spirit, I saw polyester when I was 11, but it's a bit too vulgar, I don't like vulgarity, but at least he's legit and not a fake. Respect

Lynch : lynch is part of a handful of directors with real talent, but who have unfortunately been propulsed to stardom by european hipsters and european money before they could actually mature and do their own thing. So their artistic growth was stunted and they did a bunch of mostly bad movies with a few jewels hidden in. These directors I'm thinking about are Lynch, Jarmusch, and I forgot the third, but I really like some of jarmusch stuff (stranger than paradise, ghost dog) but some of his other movies are overrated or just some shit he did to get a big paycheck from euro hipster producers (dead man, the limits of control).

Rainer werner fassbinder : made some really fantastic stuff in the 70s with nice strange aesthetics

carlos Saura made some nice aesthetic movies too in the 70s, generally based upon weird sexual fetishism and passion.

lars von trier : I only saw Europa but I found it some kind of masterpiece, but I'd understand that not everybody likes it



Last good movie I saw was Black Widow (1987), a stylish crime drama set right at the beginning of the purple era with very nice cinematography, not a mastrepiece but cool 1987 ambiance

Tysm for taking all that time! I forgot to mention Pier Paolo Pasolini. I only saw Salo and Arabian Nights of his, both extremely sexually graphic & banned in many countries. Tried to find a free YT video of Arabian Nights for you, that's the one I'd recommend, but he's known to be a maestro of sorts. He's a Pisces man who was murdered after Salo, which was a cinematization of Sade's 120 Days of Sodom. Id only watch that once, much like Lolita but more traumatizing. Pasolini was in fact a convicted pedophile who made art pretending to criticize it but just show it. I'd like to see more of his such as Canterbury Tales, Medea and the Decameron. His Oedipus Rex is free on YT

I would ask you about Stanley Kubrick, but I'd assume he's universally respected. If you disagree, lmk 😂

https://boxd.it/ayqHa Watch the Bergmans!! This is my ranked list of 45. Start with Through A Glass Darkly. He was an atheist when it was edgy (and subtle about it) & his movies are mostly pessimistic of relationships. BEAUTIFUL leading ladies. His most famous film is the Seventh Seal where the protagonist plays chess with death. All his films are 90 minutes. Some of them are VERY slow burns that wrap up in a based climax as late as the last 30 seconds xD

I feel like Godard is Harmony Korine's counterpart who is more political and takes film seriously. You're trippin if you don't like Contempt and looking at Brigitte Bardot. I wish Masculin Feminin was still free on YT, Anna Karina my type af

Korine is a troll who makes antifilm. My favorite was kids,mainly because the villain played by Leo Fitzpatrick was so recognizable. That's actually a Larry Cook film but I pretend it isn't because his movie Ken Park disgusted me sm. Gummo is good too, Chloe Sevignys hottest role. I think that's a big difference between us- I appreciate grimy, sleazy, poverty-stricken media full of turmoil- hence the LZ appreciation, lifted from post-slavery Delta blues- while you like media to be clean and less interpersonally tragic maybe. Men are generally more left-brained esp the guys I like

You should see Serial Mom by Waters, it was a fun time. I'm glad you appreciate him. I didn't like Polyester much, my favorite was Pink Flamingos. He's dirty and I'm glad you appreciate him!

David Lynch- I only like (LOVE) Eraserhead. I want to see Blue Velvet. His others sucked like Twin Peaks I hate that murder-mystery sitcom ass genre

I'll check out Fassbinder, titles look promising. I loved Saura's El Amor Brujo although I watched it in Spanish without subtitles xD I downloaded FlixOlé and paid to watch it bc it was the only streaming source I could find lmao. It was such a a vibe. Very me. I gave 5 stars

Sorry but fuck Lars von Trier. I watched all his movies, my former annoying numale hipster friend is a fan of his and Wes Anderson, which puts a damper on them but also I disliked grand Budapest hotel. Oh, I did like House that Jack Built, but I like Matt Dillon esp in the Outsiders and Wild Things.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was great. Only time I've ever seen a pit bull attack cinematized. I appreciate that bc where I live people get violently defensive over pit bulls but the Wikipedia dog bite death page tells the whole story. You should watch Tarantino's Jackie Brown, you'd love it! Beautiful Pam Grier & great soundtrack.

Thanks, I added black widow to my watchlist.



Here's a Luis Bunuel, I gave it 1.5 stars but liked the fact that a bear was there. 🩷

I forgot to mention, Korine's Spring Breakers was probably his best movie (besides Kids) and the least nihilistic. I know Selena Gomez's moonface ass presence gives it a bad rap, but James Franco was amazing. (And Selena wasn't in it very long)

Also Refn's Neon Demon was my favorite of his (& the only one I've seen). Cinematography was Kubrick inspired. Beautiful. Since the topic is the competitive field of modeling idk how much men would like it. Obviously I value female beauty in film lmao. Keanu Reeves played a pedo landlord in this movie

I consider Refn to be the less respected Darren Aronofsky but I didn't want to mention Aronofsky bc he's so known for that gross Requiem for a Dream that's referenced ad nauseum. My favorite of his was Pi.

Gonna check out Jarmusch's too, thanks!
