Description
Archive Watch turns the Internet Archive's vast public-domain moving-image collection into a cinematheque you can wander from your couch — feature films, classic television, silent cinema, animation, newsreels, and the strange, wonderful world of vintage commercials and ephemeral film.
Every title is presented with the care of a great repertory house: real posters, cast, synopses, and genres, so a 1920s silent and a 1950s sci-fi B-movie look as considered as anything on a modern streaming service.
