Watch Old Movies Online

Yes you can watch old movies online. I just love the old black and white movies. One of my favorites is the old Sherlock Holmes series. With the satellite to Pc program there is a pretty good selection of old shows and movies.

I found a lot that I have never seen, or even heard of before. The old comedies are great too.
During the first half of the twentieth century movies were made in black and white because either that was all there was available or shooting in color was too expensive. The decision became an artistic one by the 1950's.

Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho was made in black and white after a decade in which he made color masterpieces including Rear Window, Vertigo and North By Northwest. Steven Spielberg made Schindler’s List in black and white, and Woody Allen did Manhattan and Zalig in black and white. Even in 1940 when Orson Wells filmed Citizen Kane he had carte blanc from the studio and could have filmed in color if he chose.

When watching these black and white classics, remember that much of what promotes your reaction to these films is the manipulation of light to create these sometimes stark, more often gray images.

Here is a sample you can watch. Murder At The Baskervilles (1937) For more movies like these and 1,000's of other program, download the satellite to PC software. Give it time to load, works best in Internet Explorer.
