If you like westerns,, here is one I have never seen,,, I'm 50 yrs old.
You mean Big Jim Thompson?
Hulu is free? you just go there and get movies for no charge, no sign up fee, no monthly fees?
Y’all oughta try “The Wonderful Country” from the book by Tom Lea and starring Robert Mitchum and Julie London. Mitchum is a American orphan raised in Mexico as a ‘pistolero’ in service to two crooked Mexican brothers.
It was one of the first ‘realistic’ Westerns in my opinion. Notable is the sound effects where gunshots actually sound like gunshots.
The John Wayne/John Ford cavalry trilogy consisted of “Fort Apache”, “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon”, and “Red River”.

WRONG! The third in the Trilogy is “Rio Grand.”
THE Jim Thompson
sit through their very short commericals,, yep, its free.. if the movie is R rated,,this one is not,, you have to register to see it.
The Searchers is my co-favorite with Shane.
Best Lines:
Just prior to the shootout with Jack Palance: “You’re a low-down yankee liar.”
As Shane leaves, Joey yells out, “And mother wants you! I know she does!”
heh

Thank you. My trivia machine is becoming trivial.
I tried watching some old tv series on Hulu, but it seemed that the commercial breaks were extremely loud. Did anyone else have that problem?
Well, it wasn't The Thing, From Another World, but it was better than not bad.
Many sites now have old TV programs and movies available to watch online for free. They may incorporate short commercials, but usually have much fewer commercials than a regular TV broadcast.

http://www.youtube.com/videos [see Shows or Movies lists]
http://www.tvguide.com [check their ‘dvr’ selection]
http://www.thewb.com/shows/ [Hadn’t checked their site in a while. They have really expanded their list of available titles.]
Many of the above link to the same video, but they also have their own unique titles.
Also
http://www.archive.org/index.php [Has many public domain movies and old TV programs, also music]
Yep, that’s about it. You can also watch some series also. Fancast.com is another site that allows you to watch movies and series for free. You do have to sit through some ads however, but that is a small price to pay:)
