internet archive: not sure how old you're talking but i have found a lot of older (and worldwide) cinema on there. they don’t have everything of course, but they’re free. i watched velvet goldmine and julian donkey boy on there and those are films that are less than 30 years old. but i also watched valley of the dolls there! the possibilities could be endless but i’ve only explored a small corner of the vast site. regardless, i love it. just google your film + internet archive and you may get a hit.
kanopy: not every library offers it and the content can vary depending on your library system as well, but it’s free with a library card. i’ve seen a lot of older films on there. some libraries offer hoopla, but not mine :( however if yours does that could also be a winner!
It’s streaming service for libraries 📚💕Check if your local library offers any free streaming services!!! Mine has Kanopy! It’s so good has all the latest and obscure movies lol
it’s a FREE streaming service!! that has a ton of films!! popular, obscure, old, contemporary, it has SO much! and it’s free?? through your local library?? like cmon, watch good movies and support public libraries
You can access the archive from Plex and it’s a hUge range of films, all for free!
It’s been a lifesaver since leaving college and losing access to Kanopy.
Tons of revolutionary films and documentaries, it’s like netflix for cool people! Jk i kid, i kid… 👀.
A lot of independent films that are no longer being shown are up there too!! Great stuff all around.
