Where do you watch Classic Movies?

CTN: Confined To Netflix.

Here is an example of why I like this site. I watched a movie yesterday because I read the following comment on the home page:

"Frank - Q Planes (1939) - Outstanding – great acting, clever mystery, damned funny. The 'Q' flick is a 10-plus. Treat yourself to this amazing Brit flick. PLEASE. May 19, 2014"

I would never have watched this movie if it wasn't for Franks recommendation. It was a very enjoyable watch!
 

Download and burn? Do you copy them and save them to your computer? Tell me how please.

save to PC then burn em to a DVD using software that converts the FLV format to MP3, WMA etc. i use a fee based software called zillatube. its 29.00 bucks a one time purchase. I can justify the money cause i use it to download music to burn to CDR's. its downloads both the video and just the audio tracks. most PC's have a DVD burner preinstalled.

Sure know what you mean about getting reviews from viewers instead of critics, DRK. I like to look up movie info at IMDB.com....has viewers comments, info on the actors and the movie, and I have seen many movies I would otherwise have passed over.
 
I just noticed that all the movies listed on that site (oldmovietime.com) are films that have been uploaded to YouTube. That site is convenient because it lists links to many old films. If you are looking for a particular film & don't see it listed, go directly to YouTube and search there. I found many full feature films available on YouTube, not listed on oldmovietime.com

True, I've found full, length movies on Youtube as well. There are more and more sites with free movies nowadays. Denise;)
 
I think we are talkin free KC, which is such a good price, lol!! I watch some on www.bnwmovies.com, and some on stagevu.com. Stagevu.com is my fave because they allow you to download the movie, and, you do NOT have to have a membership. You have to find the "download" link though, and I can show anyone that wants to use the site. It's a little tricky, because you can "click" the wrong button and end up getting a download for "their" player etc.

I just meant you are paying for cable/dish, and I don't have anything but internet here;) TCM I love, I got to watch it last Saturday when I was puppy-sitting. I watched an old black and white called "Back From Eternity" which is a remake of the 1939 "Five Came Back". It jerked at my heart just as bad as it did the first time I ever saw it, great flic though.

Yes, folks upload their movies for others to watch. You can also contribute if you join, but I don't belong to the site. They don't force you to do that so they must be ok with what they have, which is 1000's of movies.

Not from their internet KC, not streaming. These movies are put online for anyone to watch, so you are downloading the movie, for keeps if you want, to your computer. They are not torrents, I am afraid of torrents because I don't know enough about them, yet, maybe I'll learn when I have time.

Hi Kc, yes, with the torrents, I read that an ISP such as Charter etc., will actually slow your speed way down if they find you are downloading torrents. I am not sure if that is true or not, never called charter to ask. But the reason was that some of the "pirate" sites are illegal downloads. This is just heresay from an article I read. But for me, the fact some were saying "no, definitely no" was enough for me to avoid them. Those better qualified can do as they please, I am just now digging deeper into some of these programs so that I can speed up my computer, and not bog it down with things that are soooooooooo available on the www;)
 
There are many places to watch movies online, but you do have to be very careful as it is very easy to get things on your computer that will slow it way down or worse. That is why I like http://oldmovietime.com because it is totally safe and legal. It is limited to the classics of days gone by but there are about 500 movies to choose from.

We do not have TV in our home either, we only have DSL internet service through the phone company.

Can be slow...Depends how many seeds (others sharing)
I usually download a couple at a time when I go to bed then when I wake the download is finished
I copy to external HD
Then plug external to my media player connected to The media player excepts most formats eg MP4 AVI
