This person has done THE most impressive job I have ever seen compiling links to many films and books for free
This is an impressive list of film noirs you can watch for free
TubiTV is my favorite streaming site, it has a spectacular list of older films, and you don't need to even create an account to watch them
Also the amount of great older movies available on youtube always impresses me. Every time I can't find an obscure movie on torrent, it is usually just there on youtube. Mosfilm has been remastering their most classic releases and uploading them there.
Anyway, be curious! Search "films about <thing you like>" on your searching engine of choice. Chances are someone made a movie about it no matter how weird and crazy it might seem!
I know I jest sometimes, but films are legitimately great! There is so much to discover out there, it keeps me always excited for the next great thing I can discover that I had never heard about! Please, shed you chains of hollywood fast food, there is so much beauty just at your reach
Tubi is freaking fantastic and everyone should use it for everything, especially at-risk films. You'll have commercials broadcast/cable-tv style, but you get a warning counting down to them so you know in advance when they're coming AND the breaks are usually shorter than regular TV.
Youtube is shockingly good and dont forget archives.org ! If a movie looks shitty quality search it somewhere else, u may find better quality.
Anna May Wong is great, Mary Pickford was the most powerful person in hollywood for the first 30 years. Carole Lombard is a delight.
Dont think its all cheesy stuff (ppl said that of mary which isnt entirely fair, watch sparrows my bros). Every genre imaginable. You cant tell me ofmd didnt have some Black Pirate influence
