archive.org = lots of films

I have been somewhat familiar with archive.org in the past, but
by some seredipity/chance/fluke or whatever, I happened to look
for classic hollywood films and discovered that there are quite
lot available for download! I was particularily impressed with
the colourized versions of some familiar classics. I liked
that they even have a category for film noir (a favourite
genre). Overall, the archive.org seems better and more
organized since the last time I dropped by several years ago.

The new series "Monsieur Spade" is making me want to go back and watch
some of the old black and white noir films, especially The Big Sleep
and the Maltese Falcon.
There was a poll on Reddit about favorite Noir films. I had to throw in
"Body Heat" as neo-noir.

What archive.org is great at is storing stuff that is very hard to find from
official sources.
Stuff like Rock Odyssey, for example, which never got official theatrical
releases and was aired once or twice in Europe. For years, it only survived in
the tapes of home viewers who had bothered to record the TV broadcast when
emitted. Now archive.org ensuers it is available.

get what you can get from the internet archive while you still can.
there's some big lawsuits that donations wont cover and the vultures are circling and starting their own lawsuits. IA has a lot of questionable and copyrighted content.
