Not to mention, and apologies if this has been stated before on this site, but our very awesome host's film "K-9" has been recently added to Netflix on Demand.

Another great site for free movies!
Not blockbusters but some good indie stuff.

@DEV: Yeah, someone was kind enough to email me that info. But not sure it got mentioned here, so thanks for the plug! Perhaps the Netflix deal is what's hanging up my latest residual check from Universal! ;)

@Lazzard: Thanks for that link. If I don't have that linked, I'll put it there.

You're welcome and thank you. Don't know why my name comes in all caps. I have tried fixing it in gmail but it never works.

Thanks for the links, Scott!

Does this mean that all these movies are also open to be freely adapted/re-made, with no legal hassles?

Scott at 2011-01-02 08:58:22:

@Monsieur Bake: Standard disclaimer: I'm no lawyer blah blah. My guess is somebody still owns the copyright on each of the movies. But that's a good question. I'll post something on it today to see if any legal eagles out there have some advice.

Post-1923 works came into the public domain because until the law changed in 1978, all copyrights had to be renewed after 28 years. If you missed the renewal deadline, the work went into the public domain. For most of the movies on this list, no one was paying attention to the renewal deadline, and as a result, the film is now in the public domain.
