Watch full free movies on Youtube!
 
YouTube has introduced a new free movies service after successfully striking a deal with US-based Studios like Lionsgate, MGM and Sony Pictures as well as Blinkbox in the UK.

A catalog of full length 400 movies that include both Hollywood and Bollywood flicks is available at http://www.youtube.com/movies. Full length movies were already available on YouTube but only for select regions. Now, it's been made available to the entire world.

From a number of Jackie Chan movies, to classic horror movies like Night of the Living Dead, loads of movies can be watched on-demand for free.

Donagh O'Malley, YouTube head of video partnerships, said, "This is one of many efforts to ensure that people can find all the different kinds of video they want to see, from bedroom vlogs and citizen journalism reports to full-length films and TV shows."

We hope YouTube will consider including on-demand paid HD movies in future. However, as of now, if you have a YouTube enabled TV then you can stream full length movies on it at no cost. Of course, you'll have to pay for the Internet connection.

The horror section has many good watches like -

Night of the Living Dead (o)
Horror of the Zombies (aka) The Ghost Galleon
Snake People (Boris Karloff)
Zombie Wars
House on Haunted Hill (o)
Sisters of Death
The Last Woman on Earth
The Corpse Grinders
The Wasp Woman
The Legend of Bigfoot
Voodoo Man (Bela Lugosi)
Lady Frankenstein
The Little Shop of Horrors
The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant
Silent Night Bloody Night
Maniac
Driller Killer
Dementia 13
Atom Age Vampire
The Sadist
Attack of the Giant Leeches
The Terror
Screaming Skull
The Brain That Wouldn't Die
Don't Look In The Basement
A Bucket of Blood
Revolt of the Zombies
Legacy of Blood
Frankenstein's Daughter
The Giant Gila Monster
The Crawling Hand
The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues
Terror is a Man


...and many, many more.

Maybe I've been one of those in a "selected region," I've been able to watch full movies on youTube for a while. Nice place to catch a 50's era creature feature.

I think fans like me living in a fucking 'remote region' where we are not allowed/favored to buy dvds online and doesn't have the proper internet speed/facilities to see movies online---are truly grateful to have a site like youtube where many generous horror fans from America & Europe loves to upload a whole classic horror film part by part (mostly divided into 9 to 10 parts) in youtube and that gives me the 'rare' chance to check out many awesome movies so far.


All Hail YOUTUBE!:)

Aren't most (if not all) public domain films and available to download free ?

neverending 09-02-2010 10:57 AM

Not all the films in the service are public domain.

BTW V- the link to the horror section takes me to an error page that says "service unavailable."

works for me


Hula is a great site....been watching movies on there for awhile. Looks like their working on some pay service....hope that doesn't decrees the movies for free. Also...XBOX LIVE is upping the yearly gold service by $10. We're going to be able to watch Hula on there as well as some other additions.

_____V_____ 09-02-2010 11:07 AM

It's working now. Maybe they were updating with the uploads.

You mean Hulu?

Here's some more info about this tie-up between Google and Youtube -


Google recently introduced free full movies channel service with a catalog of over 400 movies on YouTube.

And now, the search giant is planning to bring blockbuster Hollywood movies with its pay-per-view subscription service. The Financial Times reported that YouTube video sharing site is in talks with several leading Hollywood studios since several months.

YouTube's plans sound similar to the recently introduced Hulu Plus Ad-supported subscription service for streaming TV shows. Nevertheless, users will be able stream full movies which may or may not have Google ads in between. As always is the case, this new service might start off first in U.S. and then made available to rest of the world. FT also reported that users could pay as low as $5 to stream new movies.

New movies would be available for streaming on YouTube when they're released on DVD and also available through with Amazon plus Apple's iTunes service. YouTube has been pursuing several Hollywood studios since months. Only after recent rife in Apple TV launch rumors with $1 TV Show rentals to the living room, the search giant seems to be pushing harder.

It's no secret that Google has been trying to stay abreast of other services in terms of multimedia distribution - be it photos (Picasa) or videos (YouTube). The recent buzz seems to be hinting at the fact that Google is planning to make it big in multimedia distribution of movies and games. We won't be surprised to see movie rentals on Android phones. Till date, YouTube has been renting out a couple of independent movie titles. So if Hollywood studios give a green flag to streaming HD movies via YouTube, it's the users who're at the winning side. Still, we wait for the big daddy - Google to confirm this news officially.

Haha- Invasion of the Bee Girls is a drama?

I also noticed an interesting looking "prequel" to Lord of the Rings called The Search for Gollum.

They need to classify and categorise better for sure. I noticed some horror films in other sections as well. Bet they ll refine all that once they are done with all the uploading.

I don't suppose anyone knows of a site dedicated to streaming public domain films of decent quality, to they? A lot of 30s, 40s, and 50s horror films have drifted into the public domain, but it can be hunt and peck to find them.

edit: nvm; google is your friend
