Damn, I just registered this week. Looks like I missed it. I have the DVD and I was looking for an excuse to re-watch it, but I guess I can still do that, and maybe make it a double feature along with the 2001 anime.

Funny thing about the public domain. According to wikipedia:
The American copyright had lapsed in 1953, which eventually led to a proliferation of versions being released on video. Along with other foreign-made works, the film's U.S. copyright was restored in 1998, but the constitutionality of this copyright extension was challenged in Golan v. Gonzales and as Golan v. Holder it was ruled that "In the United States, that body of law includes the bedrock principle that works in the public domain remain in the public domain. Removing works from the public domain violated Plaintiffs' vested First Amendment interests." This only applied to the rights of so-called reliance parties, i.e. parties who had previously relied on the public domain status of restored works. The case was overturned on appeal to the Tenth Circuit and that decision was upheld by the US Supreme Court on January 18, 2012. This had the effect of restoring the copyright in the work as of January 1, 1996. Under current US copyright law, it remains copyrighted until January 1, 2023.

As far as I know, this doesn't apply outside the US, so if you run into trouble with the RIAA because of that, just say you all went to watch it on a boat in international waters.

Svengoolie has a weekly featured video on his website, classic horror. I don't how copyright rules would apply though.

Not sure if those are public domain, but I'd say that if they are on youtube then it's their responsibility for not removing them and that we, as innocent viewers, trusted youtube for doing this job, right?

I can't display all the photos in the list, so I don't know if it's already been mentioned, but the 1960 version of "The Little Shop of Horrors" (the non-musical one) is in the public domain.

Derp edit: It's got Jack Nicholson.

It's always in the last place you look for it, unless you're the kind of person who keeps looking for it after you've found it.

We were talking about trying to get a movie for our school club, and the woman in the library said; "If it's on YouTube, you don't have to worry about royalties or copyright." If a random library worker can't be trusted, who can in this crazy world?

I hope that Donna Reed's legs will make an appereance.

You know, I always head that in the US almost all the channels always pass It's A Wonderful Life on Chrismas. They only passed it once on Paraguay. Here they do something similar, but with Home Alone and Die Hard.

There was a call for comedy, and I'm more into good comedy.

On that note, a second suggestion: The Great Dictator
