Web Sites Providing Free Movies for Your Viewing Pleasure

Rachelle Lynn Williams
There are hundreds of movies, TV shows, documentaries, and cartoons freely available to watch over the Internet. These works of art are now in the public domain, and they are available for viewing by anyone who so chooses.Owners and creators of original works of art will copyright their work for legal protection. However, copyrights usually last between fifty to one hundred years from the creator's death, or a finite period for anonymous or corporate works. And then, there are some works of art that for whatever reason...the creator chooses not to copyright. When the time has lapsed on material with a copyright, the work then falls into public domain. The public domain is a collection of intellectual property that is no longer owned by any person or entity. The Internet has become a virtual library of public domain material, and you are free to watch until your heart is content. So, if you're surfing the web, and you find that you've got some free time on your hands, why not check out some of these interesting films:

The Carnival of Souls

This is a moody and atmospheric thriller about a group of teenagers involved in a serious vehicular accident, a woman trying to find her way through life out of the ashes of a devastating incident, and a strange and eerie carnival that may hold the key to her future.

Genre: Horror

Dementia 13

Dementia 13 is a film about lies, deceit, ghosts of the past and deadly family secrets. This film is a gem...as is most anything graced by the hands of Francis Ford Coppola and Roger Corman. Genre: Horror

Detour

Watch as a hitchhiker makes his way across the country to be with the girl he loves and to make a positive life change. The hitchhiker is picked up by a character with a rather shady lifestyle and life begins to become twisted and distorted for our well meaning protagonist. Genre: Suspense/Thriller with a Film Noir type of edge.

D.O.A.

This is one of my favorite films. If you chose to watch this film you'll become fully engrossed as our protagonist "wakes up dead" (almost), and is caught up in the mystery of trying to figure who has "killed him". Genre: Mystery/Suspense

Horror Hotel

This film used to scare me to death. I'm always a little weirded out by anything with witches and demons. Granted, most films of this sort aren't really scary at all...but this one is different because it has an interesting story and an underlying eerie sort of feel. It's all about a young girl who delves into the mysteries of witchcraft only to get gravely tripped up by her dark interest. Genre: Horror

The Last Man On Earth

This is the first of the films based on Richard Matheson's book "I Am Legend". The other two are "The Omega Man", starring Charleton Heston' and last year's "I Am Legend" starring Will Smith. This is the version that stays truest to the book. Legendary actor Vincent Price stars as the ill-fated doctor who is faced with the daunting task of both finding a cure for and defending himself from the former human fiends that haunt the night Genre: Horror

There are a great many more of these films available on the internet, so if you find that you're bored and you've got nothing better to do...just pull out the popcorn and fire up your desktop, and you'll find a whole world of movies just waiting to be discovered.
