There are movies that are lovable, but forgettable. There are movies that are unforgettable, but are hard to find in video stores and rentals because only few copies remain in circulation. These are usually the classic movies, the critically acclaimed ones that shaped the cinema industry. The main reason why most people know of them only by name is that they are hard to find, hardly sold, and hardly bought. Thanks to the Internet, however, many movie lovers are now able to watch classic movies, including the horror movies that spawned scores of sequels and remakes through generations. These rare movies shown on the Internet may also include independent films and cult classics or movies that may not have been big hits yet had large fan followings. On the Internet, these films are either sold or posted on free viewing websites. Online retailers have these films either as digital copies that can be downloaded or as disc copies that are later shipped to the buyer. Paying for these movies require a bank account and a credit card. Telephone or mobile phone billing may be used for payment too. In video streaming websites, viewers may have to subscribe to the uploader to be able to view the videos. More generous websites let users view free movies online without requiring membership or subscription. Many users create online accounts anyway to give feedback and communicate with fellow viewers. Copyright policies are strictly adhered to in these free viewing websites. Most classic movies are available on these sites because they are under public domain. No longer subject to copyright, these movies may be freely reproduced, adapted, and copied into free movies online. Public domain movies often inspire loose adaptations of them that may or may not become public domain items themselves. Copyrighted movies are more difficult to post as free movies online; these often require the approval of the movies’ respective production companies. Otherwise, the site may be compelled to remove the video from its system sooner or later or even take legal action. Until then, Internet users enjoy the movies for free as long as they can.
