VCRclock brought it to my attention a while ago that archive.org not only archives webpages, but also many types of short films. Educational films from decades ago, documentaries, and lots more.
Only now have I realised that they also preserve full length movie classics such as Nosferatu (1922) – which I happen to have studied last week in my first Film class, by the way! – as well as Night of The Living Dead (1968), and Dressed To Kill.
There’s loads more too. Check it out. I wish I had another hard drive, so that I could save more of these videos. I have only a couple of gigabytes left!
In the past, I’ve downloaded “Night of the Living Dead” and a movie called “The Phantom Planet” from archive.org. I did a report on the latter and discovered in the process that the plot mirrors the U-2 Incident.
I used to have a whole lot of movies saved to my hard drive, but these days I don’t have enough space.
