This treasure trove includes a wide range of classics that are free because they’ve entered the public domain, along with a selection of hidden gems among YouTube’s official selection of free movies (you have to really dig to find them among a lot of straight-to-DVD titles and knock-offs). Real deal, 100% free (and good) movies are out there alongside viral stars and adorable animal montages. Really! And we’re not talking weirdly uploaded, grainy, sketchy films.
But the video streaming service also has a great, if hard-to-find, selection of legal free movies. Ah well, off to watch Teenage Devil Dolls.YouTube has as deep a selection of new movies as anyone, as long as you’re willing to pay to stream. Personally, I haven’t spotted many mainstream hits or real classics in the catalog, but maybe it’s just me. “We hope film lovers enjoy the range of titles in this free library, whether catching up on a mainstream hit or delving into the vast archive of classic films from decades past.” “This is one of many efforts to ensure that people can find all the different kinds of video they want to see, from bedroom vlogs and citizen journalism reports to full-length films and TV shows,” YouTube head of video partnerships Donagh O’Malley told The Guardian. What can you find there? Loads of Bollywood flicks, a bunch of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan films, obscure horror movies and cartoons, among many other sections. In addition, the company wanted to make clear that the MGM / Lionsgate / Sony Pictures content is currently only available in the US, not in the UK. Update: Google checked in to clarify this is a UK announcement only and doesn’t affect the US Movies section announced last year (see link above). studios like Lionsgate, MGM and Sony Pictures and UK service Blinkbox. The renewed section, which is actually more like the next step in previously announced projects, comes courtesy of deals the Google company struck with U.S. YouTube has launched a fresh Movies category on its website, gathering about 400 full-length films for your on-demand viewing pleasure, all free of charge.
