Feature Films

[Ice Czar]

It's surprising how many folks are unaware of the Feature Film section of the Internet Archive. It plays host to films of yesteryear that are in the public domain, and while many are just this side of the corniest B movies ever made, there are quite a few cult classics and landmark movies as well. Some with A list actors, from silent classics with Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, to Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant and the Three Stooges. Looking through the recent additions today I spotted Captain Kidd with Charles Laughton and John Carradine. Now where did I put the popcorn?

a few more decent films


the Green Glove w\ Glen Ford


and for the Sherlock Holmes fan's
I grew up with Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes, no one else comes close
and of course Nigel Bruce is Dr. Watson, at least the bumbling onscreen version


Dressed to Kill

Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon

it was a close call if I should link the Last Man On Earth with Vincent Price
or The Night of the Living Dead as the cult classic, but Vincent is a favorite of mine

not to mention
Bela Lugosi, Peter Lorre an early Alfred Hitchcock (again with Peter Lorre, who is also in Beat the Devil with Bogart), Bob Hope and Danny Kaye

Charlie Chaplin favorite, The Great Dictator.

" For Hitler must be laughed at! "

unfortunately not in the database

Chaplin has joked it was his revenge for Hitler stealing his Moustache

I found "the last woman on earth" but I can't find "the last man on earth"

I've always wanted to watch night of the living dead, but whenever I go to rent a movie I always forget to grab it, so I'm downloading that now. Feels weird to download movies legally...... I like it.

The Last Man on Earth (1964)

Based on the chilling Richard Matheson science fiction Classic "I am Legend" and later remade as "The Omega Man" starring Charlton Heston. This classic features Vincent Price as scientist Robert Morgan in a post apocalyptic nightmare world. The world has been consumed by a ravenous plague that has transformed humanity into a race of bloodthirsty vampires. Only Morgan proves immune, and becomes the solitary vampire slayer.

The Last Woman on Earth isnt all that good, definately the B movie genre
