fanny the film freeloader here... I haven't had luck downloading or watching on like I used to. Do I need an account now, or is there a newer, better site for watching old, classic (not necessarily public domain) films for ?

@xmanmonk I am so spoiled. The Pirate Bay is voluminous, yet limited in the films I'm looking for. Still, some of what I'm looking for is available there, so thank you for the reminder! D/Ling a few now.

@cosullivan @xmanmonk I would “totally hack the Gibson” to open up the whole Criterian Collection archive for free...

Sadly, I think Torrents and a good VPN are your best bet.

YouTube has many old films still, actually, if you aren’t picky about quality and don’t mind occasionally having Portuguese subtitles and such.

@cosullivan Yify is also a good place to search. The real yify is gone, but there are several copy sites that have good torrents. Just a thought.

@xmanmonk Thanks! I found "Design For Living" (1933), with advanced search. Yify Better than expected!

@xmanmonk @cosullivan ymovies.tv/home/ is where I ended up after typing in yify. Has live stream of movies with 6 mirrors and a bunch of torrents listed below.

@gemlog @xmanmonk You both have been helpful. The spiteful eight-year-old in me is thwarted from being "right" in stating "there's nothing good out there". I'm astounded in a good way, like the first taste of an unfamiliar coffee roast.
