An advice for a good old movie to watch on YouTube?
Of the old movies currently available to watch on YouTube, what would people recommend?
For example yesterday I saw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nas8Y1IW_Tk The Tall Men (1955). The beginning is set in winter, so you can turn the heating off and feel how cold it is. The scene where they are in the shack was rather slow - too much time spent looking at Jane Russell's socks. |
There's already a 'good movie to watch' thread here, with many youtube links.

there are many sites and services and apps dedicated to movies, why bother using youtube for movies.
Although I guess maybe some old smartTvs or something it's the only free app or something... |
How old is old?
Get Lamp, text adventure documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRhbcDzbGSU The Century of the Self, manufactured consent documentary, 4 parts, each 1 hour long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ3RzGoQC4s |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcz8z7ensRM : "My man Godfrey".
Though given it's 2022, I wouldn't mind a link to Soylent Green. |

A lot of what you wish to watch is over here:
https://archive.org/details/moviesandfilms Ignore the xxx stuff. Example: https://archive.org/details/AliceInWonderland1933 Just tested full screen on my linux install using big screen TV and no problemo. |
I can point to many lists of old movies worth watching. I can think of a few right off the top. I cannot think of a single good reason to watch anything on youtube. Not one.
|
Then if you are wanting all of the old movies that you can get your hands on, ones that aren't copyrighted anymore.
Warning these following links probably have popups, adds, etc. Few examples: https://u123movies.com/watch/mxyPME0...he-hudson.html https://u123movies.com/watch/OGgDKad...aces-west.html https://u123movies.com/watch/oxQD3eo...t-passage.html https://u123movies.com/watch/zGWMLXv...yage-home.html https://u123movies.com/watch/bdr9l1Z...for-three.html https://u123movies.com/watch/zGOb5DD...the-draft.html https://u123movies.com/watch/nGEDmzx...wolf-1941.html https://u123movies.com/watch/OGg3k9GR-belle-starr.html |
The Chase, 1946. Chandleresque, with Peter Lorre.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyP7CWvJf1o Update: improved quality version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AZn4CBtnwg |
^ 4 different versions on archive.org. I guess your "improved quality" is also there.

What A Way To Go, 1964. 60s chic comedy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BTbVhkm30U Leave Her To Heaven, 1945. Technicolor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR6p5HcfCpc |
Some Monty Python Classics. They don't make them like this anymore. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing …
The Life of Brian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVnr87Bloz0 Monty Python & the Holy Grail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmtSj4wH5Rg There's also classic sketches on youtube that stand on their own. |

What I intend this thread to be is a collection of *links* to specific full complete original movies on YouTube that the posters have watched and would recommend to others. People can then click on the link and immediately see the full complete original movie without searching, and without the high risk that the movie is not in fact available. It is easy to provide a link: find the YouTube page for the full complete original movie, copy the page URL, and then paste this URL into the post, and also please give the title. Favourite movies *without* links can be given in the other movie thread "An advice for a good movie to watch ?" which might be available here: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...-watch-697994/ Thanks. |
Not available on YouTube, so here is a link to Archive.org, although many or most of the films there are blurry.
Riffraff, 1947 https://archive.org/details/uma-aven...ado-sous-titre It is in English. An adventure with some excellent cinematography, but the would-be femme-fatale is disappointingly overweight/fat. |

Did you make an actual comparison, or are you just being contrary? Also, are you sure you checked all the download options? For this one, there's a 1.1GB MKV option. Looks OK to me - definitely less blurry than the H.264, higher resolution. The original probably isn't much better. Not all films were made in high quality back then, and this one definitely looks like a low budget production. I skipped through it, looks like it was filmed entirely on set (all scenes are indoors). All movies I checked on archive.org come in several formats and sizes, it's worth checking out. |

^ Thanks.
Anybody knows why these movies are up on youtube like this? The (US American) entertainment industry usually takes great care to prevent this. I don't think they're in the public domain now? |
Quote:
In that context, it could be argued this thread's title is an Oxymoron. "A Good Old Movie?" They're still charging money for "Gone with the wind," but that's about the only one. The exception proves the rule. |
Quote:
The first one is with John Wayne, a household name it used to be, and good colors/resolution. I'll have to watch it to be able to assess it. Usually it comes down to "I guess there's a good reason why this film is forgotten", but there might be the occasional pearl, who knows. |
In the US, copyrights last for 60 years. Then the work changes into public domain. It's still owned, still is intellectual property, but it's not unlawful to download it and watch it without the consent of the property owner. You can't sell it, or make money off of it.
That is the way I understand that. So anything before 1960 is in the public domain now. I don't think that it is unlawful for youtube to have it, and for you to watch it. Anyone else know more on this topic? Edit: Netflix is renting those DVD's, but, I'm sure that Netflix has an agreement with the intellectual property owner to rent it. And that's because the owner is getting a cut of the rental. |
^ makes sense. I had a look at the uploader for Rio Bravo, It's "Grjngo - Western Movies", there's plenty more old movies.
It does look like they're all from the 40s/50s. They also have a website, and a German company behind it. |
The Kiss Before The Mirror 1933
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e1qVUibVRg The Most Dangerous Game 1932 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzv2MbIdEwY I trust and hope people are posting links to films they have seen themselves AND would recommend to others, not just a list of movies. |
Kind Hearts And Coronets 1949. Comedy.

US copyrights can be renewed. And, they can be owned by corporations. For instance, the courts rightly decided that the rights to "Mickey Mouse®" did not expire with Walt Disney (RIP), even though he was the artist who originally drew him. They belong to "The Walt Disney Company, Inc."
As for good movies to watch –*I recently watched an A&E special, "Ike – Countdown to D-Day." An excellent nine-part film that is historically accurate. |

This is OT so excuse me. I thought I'd try here as only old guys like old films.
When I was young in the 1970s, RTE, the Irish television Broadcaster, showed repeats of some typically English TV Cabaret show. The acts were good, but the Master of Ceremonies was even better. He would introduce acts in pompous and incomprehensible gobbledygook, which he would translate in his incrediblyposh English accent - let me try an example: Quote:
Does anyone remember the show's name? Know where it can be viewed/downloaded? |
@business_kid
The program was "The Good Old Days", and the Master of Ceremonies was Leonard Sachs. I never watched a whole show, just saw bits of it now and then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Go...tish_TV_series) |
