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
