Legal Movie Torrents… organized

Earlier this week we posted about the Public Domain torrent site. This site offers an extensive collection of Classic and B-Movie torrents. The copyright of these movies has expired so you are free to share them. Not much later this story was posted on digg.com, and some of the torrents are getting pretty popular.

Unfortunately not everybody knows every movie listed, so you probably want to check some extra info on IMDB. To make your life a little easier, skender wrote a script to list all the movies on publicdomaintorrents by their IMDB rating.

Update 2020: This article was written 14 years ago and the publicdomaintorrents site is no longer online. Some of these movies may be listed elsewhere, however, including on Archive.org.
