I have been somewhat familiar with archive.org in the past, but
by some seredipity/chance/fluke or whatever, I happened to look
for classic hollywood films and discovered that there are quite
lot available for download! I was particularily impressed with
the colourized versions of some familiar classics. I liked
that they even have a category for film noir (a favourite
genre). Overall, the archive.org seems better and more
organized since the last time I dropped by several years ago.

The new series "Monsieur Spade" is making me want to go back and watch
some of the old black and white noir films, especially The Big Sleep
and the Maltese Falcon.

There was a poll on Reddit about favorite Noir films. I had to throw in
"Body Heat" as neo-noir.

What archive.org is great at is storing stuff that is very hard to find from official sources.

Stuff like Rock Odyssey, for example, which never got official theatrical releases and was aired once or twice in Europe. For years, it only survived in the tapes of home viewers who had bothered to record the TV broadcast when emitted. Now archive.org ensuers it is available.

Where does Death To Smoochy fit in?

Thanks, it is a old movie that I remember seeing 60 years ago.
I think the movie was from the 1930 era.
Don't think YT would have it.
What is popular with Me isn't currently popular.

Many years ago I saw a clip from the movie "The Milkman" starring Jimmy Durante and Donald O'Conner.
I mentioned it in FIDO Memories echo .
Another person later said it wasn't on YT when he looked.
I went back to the Bookmark and saw a note that Universal asked YT to remove it.

Youtube is definitely not what I would use to look for specific movies (there are other sites for that), but that Reddit has links to interesting ones that get posted from time to time. Many of them do not stay on there for long.
It's just something for when you're curious and might want "random".

Thank You.
I only have a cellphone now, if myXP box had Internet service I would like to have the link.
Since getting the phone I haven't looked at You Tube.
The phone doesn't have as much storage space as a Real Computer.
Got 2Tb HDD in the XP box.

I really appreciate knowing The Milkman movie is accessable again.
I will do a Search for it whenever I get the XP box to access the web.
Thanks again.

Wikipedia has info on Many movies and TV shows too.
