This archive of feature films contains some important classics from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s. We’ve featured ten good ones below, and don’t forget to see our collection of Free Movies Online.

      Penny Serenade is not, in my opinion, a “comedy”. It is a heart-warming and heart-wrenching film. I sobbed.
