The Library of Congress has "opened" its new National Screening Room, where films, commercials home movies etc are now free to view, stream or download. How cool is this resource!  cool1

From a NY Times article discussing this (10.23.18):

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/23/movies/library-of-congress-national-screening-room.html

"Cinephiles, rejoice.

The Library of Congress has unveiled its new National Screening Room, a free collection of digitized historical films, commercials, newsreels and other clips. According to the library, most of the movies are in the public domain and are available for downloading; others are only available to stream.

The National Screening Room is something of a time capsule: The videos cover the period from 1890 through 1999, capturing a broad range of American life."
