Cool Sites

i posted this link somewhere on here about a year ago but i don't remember where, maybe in this thread. anyway, been hanging there the last few days and have gotten some wonderful old movies! it's all legal, they are in the public domain. we have been watching Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. the way it should be!

large site, lots of movies, tv shows and a mix of other stuff.

they have changed the website in the last week or so.

you can watch them in their viewer or download them to your hard drive.

charlie chan series, agatha christie, sherlock holmes, even the first year of the brady bunch.

in their search box type "number 1 movie" for a list of over 250 oldies.

thank you NoOne! i looooooooooooooove old movies.

you are very welcome.

the old movies make the ones of today look like morning kiddie cartoons. it it nice to see movies from an era when they knew how to write a good script.

have a new external hard drive. hope to fill it by the end of the year. i love choosing my downloads in the morning and letting it work in the background.

i agree! in most of them the acting is so much better than today. they can actually do it!

i am on my 3rd or 4th download this morning too. Panic In The Streets with Richard Widmark is almost finished.

do you know if you have to use the player on VEOH or can you use your own? i hate to install another player when i have a really good one as it is.

no, i don't use their viewer, prefer to download to watch later.

watched "Strangers Meet on a Train" last night. 1951 hitchcock.

followed by "The Great St. Trinians Train Robbery".... british comedy...

we watched a few Sherlock Holmes last night and then i made my hubby watch Carnival of Souls and Attack Of The Giant Leeches. i liked both of them, and he admitted he did too. the Leech one isn't as corny as i thought it would be. fast paced and the monsters aren't too bad!

type what you want in, stream a song or download it. free, free, free
software, music, or photos.
great for quickly finding stuff.
no sign in just use ithttp://www.downloads.nl/local/en/

i've found versions of the same song done by different artists, some better than the original artist.

also use it to update my album art on the ipod.

this is wonderful! you just answer questions, each correct answer donates 10 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program. you can switch subjects. i'm getting really good at Famous Paintings. LOL i go play off and on all day and try to donate at least 10,000 grains a day.

i'm reviving this poor old thread because once in awhile i find cool sites and think, "Dang, I should share this with those near and dear to me." then I forget. but this...this I must share.

pick a year and then click on "Hit Me" under "Jam". music!
