Okay I was really sick last month and was stuck on some random TV channel playing 50s movies. Fell asleep through one of them and was gutted to realize I didn’t know how it ended so I looked it up -

Did you know that retroflix.org is an archive of public domain movies (and cartoons)?

From silent films to 80s slashers, they’ve got so much variety and a fun ‘movie randomizer’ that will take you to a random movie from their collection.

It’s not the easiest to search unless you know a movie’s name (I really wish there was an option to search movies by date or genre) but there are no ads. None. Mobile, desktop, doesn’t matter - not a single ad break, side panel advertisement, nothing. There’s not even the option to financially support the project.

Anyways, I just needed to share this amazing resource - which let me watch the conclusion to Vicky (1953)!

Classic film friends! I used to be a member of ILoveClassics back in the day, but they closed down a few years ago. I’ve tried to search for anything similar - looks like RetroFlix, SecretCinema, CinemaZ, etc have replaced ILC? Does anyone have a membership and would care to invite me to any of these? :) Or if you know of anything else, I’d be really grateful. Thanks!

Public Domain Reigns!

Welcome to my blog; I’ll be posting about public domain films. These may contain triggering content, language, or themes. See tagging system below the cut to block potentially upsetting content from your dash.

I watch all of my films at RetroFlix, “a project collecting public domain visual media including films, cartoon, TV series, documentaries and more.” I am not a member of the project, I just enjoy the work they do to provide an archive of these films.

I am Olm! I use any pronouns; he/she/they/it/etc. I made this blog because I love my spreadsheet (#my spreadsheet) of obscure black and white films and wanted to share my favorites with you all.

For now I’ll be posting a movie every Friday - I’m happy to discuss and answer questions about films throughout the rest of the week!
