There is nothing illegal or even slightly dodgy about accessing these free movies: they're free because they are mostly old classics, independent art house or documentaries. Open Culture is a fantastic resource for freely available courses, audiobooks, ebook, podcasts and lots more but the gem is its curation of old film noir and foreign movies. For example, there's the gangster-movie-cum-black-comedy Angel On My Shoulder from 1946 where the devil sends a deceased baddie back to earth to make amends. It also gathers decent content from YouTube like the 1996 Alan Turing biog Breaking the Code. Instead of overdosing on Only Fools and Horses reruns over the festive season why not explore this fantastic collection.
