If you're anything like me, you'd probably rather not have to manage five or six different monthly subscriptions to continue enjoying all of the games, movies, and music you love. Or maybe you're a real film nerd who can't help but cringe at how woefully lit some modern movies are. Either way, I've just found a stone I'm about to huck at both birds.
Wikiflix is a free, online archive of about 4,000 public domain films (via TechCrunch and Annie Rauwerda of Depths of Wikipedia). 1922's Nosferatu, 1927's Metropolis, and 1946's It's A Wonderful Life are all here, in addition to a wealth of other black and white pictures that deftly answers the question, 'what would Netflix have looked like 100 years ago?' It's incredible to see actors and action from a century ago—and I'm trying very hard not to get on my own 'why don't we take videogame preservation as seriously?' soap box right now.
