Check it out brothers and sisters, since retiring I have been downloading movies and T.V. shows to put on memory sticks (128GB) for my dad who is 83 and lives in the sticks. He has electricity and water, has no internet or cell phone coverage and can only get 2 channels on T.V. when the weather is good. Heck, he is happy with that but misses the older days when we were growing up and lived near the city.
I have been doing this for about 2 years now (he loves them) as he plugs them in his old laptop and watches them.
The thing is, I will not copy material that is not public domain as it is against the law as I understand. I mainly use the internet archive for this. Internet Archive Movie Collections
Does anyone know where I can find more for him?
Mucho thanks in advance brothers and sisters.
Some advice and help please

You could try...
https://publicdomainmovie.net
https://publicdomainreview.org/collections/film/
https://www.loc.gov/free-to-use/public- ... m-registry
All legal and the few that don't require you to register to download. You will need to search the pages sometimes for the download links/options.

Many thanks so far.
Been looking into the sites. I think my dad will love the downloads.

Re: Some advice and help please
Again, many thanks all.
I'm getting ready to go over for a little while and taking 128gb of films and shows for him. With y'alls help I found a movie (The Student Prince) he has been looking for for around 30 years. Even the big store shops could not find it.
Y'all made him very happy and me, very greatful.

Absolutely loads on you tube.
If you have a premium account you can download to watch later..
forgot to say If you can find a cheap smart TV you can plug the memory stick into that to watch.
