New Blog Post http://ajroach42.com/cataloging-the-public-domain-pd-movies-i-watched-in-2019/
This is a big ol' list of the public domain movies I watched this year, with links and short reviews or descriptions.
If you find it useful, I'd love to know.
If you have questions, or comments, this is the place for them.
If you notice problems, I accept PRs (on github, at the moment, but we'll fix that eventually.)
This was fun to put together, and it covers every (public domain) movie I watched on the big screen at home this year.
It doesn't include the stuff I watched on my palm pilot, the movies we watched while we were in GA, or the stuff that I just streamed, which amounts to another 30-40 flicks or so.
I'll probably write those up tomorrow, and follow that up with a TV writeup one day next week.
This doesn't even begin to cover all the available PD material (or even all the PD material in my library!) but it approximates a good introduction, and a solid year's worth of entertainment.
Alright. Starting my second list of 2019 public domain movies consumption now.
I'll do it the same way as the last one (cw'd posts here, followed by a blog post.)
Hold on to your butts.
I have decided to watch the Phantom of the Opera tonight while the lady sleeps.
This is another of those big #publicDomain #SilentFilm classics that I have never seen.
I wish there was a place where #SilentFilms fit more naturally in the modern entertainment world, but it absolutely must be sought out. You're never going to catch one channel surfing, you know? And all the revival houses in the area only do talkies.

H. G. Wells' Things to Come- Welles tells a story of future generations torn apart by war and ignorance, until scientists with airplanes save the day. And then fast forwards again, to show the rise of ignorance again.
Apparently this film has had it's copyright status restored in the US because of the 1996 URAA agreements, and that's some bullshit. It's still widely available from places distributing public domain material, and it's pretty good.
