Somewhere in the back of my head, a wealth of information is hidden away. Usually it just sits there, collecting dust, but once in a while, something triggers a wake-up call, and it comes to use.
Today was such a day. On DroidForums.net, someone asked about downloading free movies, and while the question probably applied to new releases, there is in fact a often-overlooked website that legally provides download links to movies for free, the Internet Archive.
Whenever I am scrounging the web, I stumble upon websites that no longer exist. A quick visit to the Internet Archive, which contains snapshots of websites taken at various times, usually provides me with what I am looking for, but the Internet Archive is more. Besides collecting websites, they also collect movies and TV shows that are out of copyright.
Older movies, such as Hercules, Ben Hur, Cleopatra and more. The best thing about it is, they provide downloads to these movies in different video formats, including MP4, which is compatible with most current video devices. Just visit the www.archive.org website, and have a look around. If you are in luck (Android devices for example) the MP4 files will even stream, so you can watch the classics wherever you have 3G reception.
