abandonia is great for games, but I'm looking for a really rubbish film from like 1989 that I can't find to buy anywhere... why can't there be a legal download program for films that are no longer sold? lol just like you can add games on here once they are no longer sold (and not ESA protected)...

... humph :notrust:

Well there is a site for classic movies that were abandoned and can be legally downloaded, but they're usually a bit older than 1989, and mostly lack color. If you're interested in such kind of movies, you can find them here - Link.

ooo great link there, and I'm sure more ppl will find that useful too, but yeah the film I'm after is not even close to a "classic" haha...

There are some quite recent movies that you can't find with Torrents either, like this one. It was even never released to DVD, only to VHS because it was seemingly not popular enough, and you can't find it virtually anywhere now though it actually isn't such a bad movie at all.

There is also this site called Veoh, which also has a collection of "abandoned" movies. It's fairly safe, with staff members including big-shots of at least one major Hollywood movie company. The quality of the site and the software required for downloading however, is debatable. Still, I managed to get quite a few good ones according to my (lack of?) taste.

Some of them aren't exactly "classics," it's an archive of films which are no longer under copyright protection - of course, there are some amazing films there too

If you get the chance have a look at the film there called Panorama Ephemera, it was made by combining film that is usually ignored (things like government footage, corporate films etc.) it gives a surprising insight into modern culture and the way film is used (somewhat unintentionally) to reflect ourselves as a society.
