In case you didn't know, you can watch/download many old films, e.g. Battleship Potemkin, on this page (free+legal):

Suphiah e Diabolical dr voodoo: definitivamente! :)
Shaun: haha, right... Although I know a lot of people not only my age but older that don't even know the majority of these films.
Bob: thanks for the tip! public domain - that is interesting; but Battleship Potemkin is not there.

Description

by now.

50 movies that have been on my waiting list forever or/and are huge classics.
There are, of course a lot more movies that I really want to see (like my over 500 "wanted" list on listal suggests).
And there are more that are quite unforgivable, like other classics with classic actors and golden actresses, others by directors mentioned here, a bunch of HORROR movies, Ed Wood's,... and much much more.
