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 |
