    Just surfing a bit a work today and came across this site:

    http://www.archive.org/details/movies

    I was wondering if anyone had ever downloaded any movies from here as it seems to be a legitimate site for public domain movies. I assume that means there is no problem with downloading these? There are some interesting movies (mainly older ones) like "Meet John Doe" and "His Girl Friday" that I would like but there is so much more here like army documentaries from WW2 and series like Flash Gordon and Dick Tracy etc...

    When I get home tonight I'm going to try downloading something so if you have used it let me know or if anyone thinks this is wrong let me know.

    Thanks

    i personaly can not see anything wrong with this site (illegitimately that is), as a matter of fact it states taht they are public domain movies etc...

    I would say that home movies posted by their authors are there to be viewed/downloaded...

    As for the other stuff,(documentaries, etc...) i would say they're the abandonware of films...

    It depends on the copyright licence they had...

    Dial-up Phantom? Is that all they'll supply to your cave?

    Can you bring a review of that film after you finish downloading it? It's not for me, it's for my kid... He should be 18 by then... o/j!

    Hi Phantom, you alright?
