Paramount Now Streaming 175 Free Movies Online, Including Westerns, Thrillers & Crime Pictures [and more!]
http://www.openculture.com/2015/12/paramount-now-streaming-175-free-movies-online.html Back in October, we posted about Paramount Pictures' making available more than a hundred movies free to watch on Youtube. They call the project The Paramount Vault, a digital cinematic storehouse sorted into playlists of Classics, Comedy, Action/Adventure, Drama, Horror, Westerns, Science Fiction, and Thrillers, containing such pictures as Ironweed, Hamlet, Paris When It Sizzles, King Creole, Dark City, Funny About Love, and Margot at the Wedding -- all of which, unfortunately, you can only watch in the United States. (BTW, we have a big list of unrestricted films here.) The geographical constraint still holds, at least for now, but the Paramount Vault people have kept at work filling it with movies. Most recently, they've added a selection of classic films originally put out by "B-movie" house Republic Pictures, the independent production and distribution company which specialized in crime pictures, Westerns, and other fast-moving genre pieces to which audiences of the mid-1930s to late 1950s thrilled. (As a cinema-history side note, Republic also financed and distributed Orson Welles' Macbeth.) The ones you can watch free right now on the playlist above include Train to Alcatraz, Gangs of Chicago, Stagecoach Express, Trail of Kit Carson, and the seasonally appropriate Christmas Eve. Paramount tells us they have even more in the works for their Vault ... - - - Lots and lots of great stuff! Lovin' the Internet and YouTube. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
