internet archive: not sure how old you're talking but i have found a lot of older (and worldwide) cinema on there. they donāt have everything of course, but theyāre 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 iāve 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 itās free with a library card. iāve 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!

thanks to kanopy, I get to enjoy Cinemaā¢ļø and Filmsā¢ļø without paying for a monthly subscription because itās free and curated by the public library system. If you live in LA, the Kanopy library is dank asf. Itās got art house, itās got documentaries, itās got all the Neon and A21 you can handle, itās got international film, short film, and BBC television shows. It even has anime! I literally cannot think of another app that has given me so much value for free.99. If you have a library card, download Kanopy asaptually!

most of the time itās internet archive but iāll
take anything (to a point obviously i actually have some standards for illegal websites)
iāve actually been so successfully recently though so try it
wonāt work really for newer films which obviously makes sense but if you donāt want to pay like Ā£10 for a film that isnāt really on many streaming services then try this and you might win
