    I recently re-discovered some websites that provide classic
    movie downloads from the 30's all the way through the 70s. One
    site just makes links to the archive.org. Anyway, there is no
    shortage of material to find and discover. Much of today's
    stuff is modelled after films and stories that have already been
    done.

    I am afraid that, after posting that, you are going to have to post some links.

    I have a gigantic DVD collection of old films so I don't see myself in the need rto download something anytime soon.

    BUT.. you say below that you have enough! :) So, why bother
    with revealing links? :P

    (I'll see what I can do. They're on a remote pc where I have a
    DSL connection).

    *Before* I discovered the usefulness of a media player (a small
    physical box that allows for insertion of USB or SD cards and
    then be plugged to my tv), I was taking material from YT (mostly
    old tv shows that anyone was free to watch) and saving them to
    DVD format. That process would take a while. Then I learned that
    I could write them to RW discs and reuse the disc when I was
    done. Well.. it turns out that I never could catch up with the
    pre-exisiting DVDs nor the RWs! Really, I probably have enough
    to entertain me for a while longer. But the temptation to check
    out something newly disocvered (even if old) exists. The odd TED
    video or documentary come to mind. Which reminds me..

    WRT documentaries.. I keep these handy:

    https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/
    https://documentaryheaven.com/

    I have found some fine material there covering a wide range of
    topics.
