 | |  | | ![]() You can find more and more full lenght movies on Google Video. Most of them are public domain, which means they are free to watch.
So, this thread will contain some of the great classics you can find on the web.
Modern Times 1936
Charlie Chaplin turns against modern society, the machine age, and progress. Firstly we see him frantically trying to keep up with a production line, tightening bolts. He is selected for an experiment with an automatic feeding machine, but various mishaps leads his boss to believe he has gone mad, and Charlie is sent to a mental hospital... When he gets out, he is mistaken for a communist while waving a red flag, sent to jail, foils a jailbreak, and is let out again. We follow Charlie through many more escapades before the film is out.
Nosferatu 1922
Maybe one of the best vampire movies made. It still has its scary moments, and can be quite disturbing at times.
Freaks 1922
A lovestory between a midget and a full grown woman, who both work on a circus. A simple story, but a great time-document about the life and work on a circus. The best part is still the use of real deformed people, which makes it interesting to watch.
Titicut Follies 1967
Highly controversial documentary chronicaling life inside a Massachusetts institution for mentally ill convicts. | |  | |  |

 | |  | | ![]() Metropolis 1927
I'm in the middle of watching it at the moment, but here is a passage from the wiki:
"Metropolis is an early silent science fiction/fantasy film created by the famed Austrian director Fritz Lang. Produced in Germany during the brief years of the Weimar Republic and released in 1927, it was the most expensive silent film of the time, costing approximately 7 million reichsmark (equivalent to around $200 million in 2005) to make. [1]. The screenplay was written in 1924 by Lang and his wife, Thea von Harbou, and novelized by von Harbour in 1926. It is set in a futuristic urban dystopia, and (like its contemporary The Battleship Potemkin) addresses the then-current political themes of capitalism v. communism."

| | | | ![]() That is indeed a great classic movie, but it is in fact completely off-topic here.

| | | | ![]() A nice little B-movie. I liked the way they made use of the special effects available for movies at that time. Pressing the fast-forward key on your remote might come in handy, though. | | | | |

That stayed in the theaters so long, that the studio was worried they would NEVER get to release their next "all time classic" movie: Ice Station Zebra. [True story]

Hey! Just because there were woolly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers wandering around doing the effects, doesn't make it bad! (Besides, it was nine years before Star Wars "Episode IV")

You mean, fall asleep? It's not an action pic, true. Come to think of it, I also fall asleep during the first Star Trek movie, too...  | |  | |  |
