"Night of the Living Dead" (1968) - Directed by: George A. Romero
"The Last Man on Earth" (1964) - Vincent Price, the first film based on "I am legend"
"King Kong" (1932) -

WOW, that's pretty cool!

How did you get those movies? The only silent film collection that I have is Charlie Chapplin (and it's not a movie anyway, it's series...).

I have surfed free movie sites and DL'ed.
A good one is Free Movies: Watch and Download Free Movies Online this is where I got "The Last Man On Earth" and "Night of the Living Dead"

I will be DLing "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" (1962), "The Wasp Woman" (1960) and "Nosferatu" (1922) very soon.

They also have Chaplin, Three Stooges and Laurel and Hardy films in comedy section.

Also, and I'm showing my age methinks

... "King Kong", "The Thing" are on VHS (and ancient technology whereby moving images and sound are recorded onto a tape medium)

Cheers

Thanks for the references... I've been wondering where I can get more classic movies since some are not recorded in DVDs or VCDs.
