Internet Archive is the best place to find old media
Purpose of the Archive
The Internet Archive is a great source of public domain content. The goal of the
website is to preserve as much old media as possible. It works with the participation of
the public. Users are encouraged to contribute content in digital format for preservation
and sharing on the website.
Old Movies & Television Shows
Do you like old movies and classic television? The website is a great repository
for old color or black and white films and TV shows. You'll find old Sci-Fi, War Movies,
Horror movies. There are shows like Abbott and Costello, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken and so
on. You can watch the movie via online streaming or download it to your harddrive for later
viewing.
Personally, I have a PLEX server setup and watch them in that manner. I've downloaded dozens
of war films as the streaming services are lacking in this category and the download is free
vs than buying DVD's. Plus I don't have to store a bunch of disks. I also download classic
sci-fi and horror films from the 50's and 60's. I find it need to see the old special
effects and what were considered 'scary' scenes at that time.
All video stored here is SUPPOSED to be in the public domain. However, you may see some
content that was recently uploaded that violates this rule. This content doesn't stay long.
It gets removed once discovered.

Finding Content
I found the search function on the Internet Archive website to be lacking.
Instead I simply use Google. Type in 'Internet Archive NAME OF MOVIE download'. This will
take you right where you want to be assuming that particular movie is on the website. From
there you watch online or download the file in the formats provided. Since I use Plex, I
choose the MP4 download option.
