Not sure if this is the right section for this.

Anyway, a friend of mine had pointed out a new section of YouTube for Movies. Not just trailers, but it appears full movies are being uploaded, with paid advertisements just before the movie begins.

Here's the page: http://www.youtube.com/movies

I don't know what the requirements are, though, to be able to do this. My guess, they are only allowing the copyright holders to upload the movies. Or perhaps you need a special kind of account, a Sponser account I think (that you pay for I believe), to do it.

In truth, I knew about that for a while, actually.  Research shows that they are put up by the original studio that produced the films.  A number of them are movies that are so old that they are either rare or can't be found anymore.  So for big time nostalgic fans, it's a nice treasure.

And it's not just movies.  TV Shows are also getting this treatment.  The original owners are putting them up.  I just love finding these old movies and videos.

BTW, the TV Shows can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/shows

Note that they also have put up Anime.  Too bad it's only the dubbed kind.  So, unless it's done by a company that keeps it in tact from the get go, (ie Funimation) you can pretty much expect crap from that. -_-

The movie section is new to me. Then again, I rarely look for videos by categories; I just search for them.

I do the same as well.
