1960s Films

The 1960s collection reflects the transition from studio-era filmmaking to the new Hollywood era. Public domain titles from this decade tend to be low-budget independents, exploitation pictures, and films made by companies that folded before they could renew their copyrights. The collection includes early independent horror, the tail end of the serial format, and a number of films made for television that were never properly copyrighted. It is a thinner decade in the catalog than the 1940s or 1950s, but the films that are here tend to be oddities that do not circulate elsewhere.
