This showed up on Digg yesterday. A list of 500 free movies online. A lot I have heard of, some I've actually seen like The Great Dictator w/Chaplin & The General w/Keaton. It's a place to find lots of old classics. Some are silent, but not all.
It actually has multiple links. Some of the movies are hosted on Open Culture, others it takes you to either Internet Archive or YouTube. Lot's of Chaplin shorts, plus his features. Famous works like Birth of a Nation, which I've seen twice, both times in school. Intolerance (on YouTube), Battleship Potemkin (silent Soviet classic), Hitchcock silents, film noir from the 40's, etc, etc, etc. I think everyone should check this out. Young people today think movies started last year, & won't watch anything older than Star Wars. Sad.
