Description: Quite a few of these classics need links. List is modified often. There’s an emphasis on pre-code era then up to 1949. Many are flapper-prohibition-depression era through WWII with iconic stars of the studio period of the golden age of films.
There are exceptions, such as Korean, Vietnam war eras, bios, docs & films based on film icons, such as Wild Thing, Death Becomes Her & Cabaret which were based directly from the iconic Louise Brooks or The Chaperone which is her biography. For the purposes of this list, anything above 1949 is not vintage but retro yet still potentially considered to be classic for listing. Monroe’s films are a good example of that.
If you're reading this & are currently feeling like a lost kitten if you there's no download to what you want, send me a pm & I'll help. May or may not have it, but it doesn't hurt to private message. I really will share & make a post just for you. Sometimes (but not always) the only accepted link providers for this domain are Archive.org. Vimeo, Dailymotion & the accursed corporate yootoob. If perchance that’s the way it is, then use your search options & good luck to you in finding treasure from the playlists. This list isn’t a portal to a toob site. If you dig those sites, go there. Use their search to find what you want & stay. This list is for actual downloadable movies & tv shows. Videos that cannot be found easily. This list doesn’t exist to generate traffic for invalid sites. Care is given that anything listed is connected to a DOWNLOADABLE post, which isn’t always possible. A lot of lists are being ruined by toob linkers. How? Linking to a toob site prevents valid posts from valid download servers from showing up on the front page when they are posted. What this means is if a new post is made, you won't see it unless the toob link is first deleted. You'll just have to keep checking the content you want to download since it will never appear as "newly added" on the home page. Or you could also go to the forum & ask toob site linking be disabled. The website is currently accepting requests for links, so now’s the time to go to the forum & do that. When links can’t be found, DuckDuckGo is your friend. Or try Mojeek. It’s new. It has it’s own bots, so unlike DDG or Brave, it’s not a front-end. It’s a TRUE search engine. If links can’t be found here, Archive.org is a good place to look. Playlists like this will have some links, but are also useful as a reference, not unlike IMDB or TVmaze.
White Lies, Fitzgerald’s The Last Tycoon & Korda’s Queenie were all based on the enigmatic Indian-Maori born Merle Oberon (not Asian - India is it’s own content & not part of Asia anymore than Europe is. There are oops! 8 continents, not 7). Korda was in fact her step-son via her marriage to Alexander Korda. Queenie was Merle’s nickname. Her biography is better than fiction & beyond interesting. Merle’s story is rooted in the racism of the U.S. & her need to obscure her half-caste birth. Merle was the first Indian nominated for the coveted Oscar.
Lupe by Warhol starring Edie Sedgwick in her last role before her own death, is about the false urban legend regarding the suicide by Seconal of the devastatingly beautiful iconic & volatile ex wife of Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller, Lupe Velez, who was pregnant with Gary Cooper’s baby that he refused to claim. They were to marry, but they were a violent couple & Gary’s mom disliked non-whites. She cut him with a knife. She & Tarzan divorced for the same reason. She fired a pistol at him in public at a train station. She also saw any other actress as a rival, & would do scathing humiliating mockeries of them in public that she was rather infamous for. She was the wealthy daughter of an army colonel to a Mexican dictator. Lupe’s story is also rooted in U.S. racism. Lupe was the first Latina to be nominated for an Oscar.
This era is very important. Without Mae West for example, Paramount wouldn’t exist & there likely would’ve never been Star Trek as it is known today.
Hedy Lamarr was a genius inventor who fled nazi germany & invented frequency bandwidth hopping, which is the technology that makes the WiFi you are using possible as well as all missile guidance systems in the military.
Jerry Lewis invented technical innovations such as video playback, which is used on sets mostly for dailies, taught university film making & meticulously crafted his comedy in synced time to all sound events, often working with musicians to compose scores that brought out timing that worked comedically.
The great Carl Stalling, composer of Disney’s Silly Symphonies & more popularly of Warner Brothers Merrie Melodies, invented sound synchronization & composed all of his music highly mathematically to match on-screen action, which today is known as the click-track. He composed about 120 scores a year. No one does that anymore. Now some douche presses some keys on a keyboard, then plays it in an infinite loop until the crappy bad art that a lazy idiot did on a computer is done.
The greatest dancer of all time was the wonderful ballet trained, athletic acrobatic percussive Eleanor Powell, who was the only dancer that intimidated Fred Astaire & was the only dancer who always choreographed all of her own steps, dictating everyone else’s steps, often practicing until her feet bled, worked for weeks on just upper body movement & still today is required learning for any dancer. Quite a bit of Cole Porter’s legendary songs debuted in her films, accompanying her perfect vertical kicks, backward bends & countless high speed spins. All in high heels with slick steel taps. Ginger who? That one didn’t know how to dance & took months of lessons from Fred.
Melanie Griffith’s mom Tippi Hedren of Hitchcock fame, like Betty White, is an animal rights activist & responsible for shutting down infamous theme parks that abuse animals. Leonard Nimoy was responsible for securing rights for every entertainer’s personal legal rights of their own physical likeness, taking his case all the way to the Supreme Court. Jackie Coogan, known as Uncle Fester of the Addams Family, was responsible for securing the rights of child entertainers & protection from financial exploitation, especially from their own parents. His ex-wife was the one & only Betty Grable. Penny Singleton who played Blondie Bumstead was also the voice of Jane Jetson. Billy Burke was Glinda the Good of The Wizard Of Oz & most people look at her at least once a year.
Frances Gumm, known as Judy Garland, gave birth to Liza Minnelli who later emulated Louise Brooks. The great singer Keeley Smith of Louis Prima fame in particular took 100% of her look from Miss Brooks long before Liza was born. Carmen Miranda had a heart attack on live tv during the Jimmy Durante show & died shortly after. Jimmy himself narrated & sung Frosty The Snowman. Jean Harlow died of kidney failure at a mere 26, collapsing on the set of her last & most famous film, dying before it was finished, after she cemented Howard Hughes’ & her own fame, but also primary suspect in her husband’s murder. Gracie Allen, like Carmen & Judy, also died young, barely over 50 having worked herself to death merely to entertain. Yet she was an Irish catholic happily married to her Jewish husband George Burns.
Others were blatant right-wing nazi fascist sympathizers whose names & works should be forgotten & lost in the swirling eddies of time.
Each one of these very ordinary people had some very extraordinary aspects to their lives that were highly interesting & well worth researching. Either way, these people affect our lives today very profoundly- but none more thanHedy. Many of these legends built the Hollywood system as it is presently & in many cases saved it singlehandedly, such as founder of Universal Carl Laemmle & Charlie Chaplin(insisted on relocating film making from the insane violent Thomas Edison in New Jersey to California away from his brutal goons that regularly smashed up any studio that dared operate outside of the Edison monopoly) who co-founded United Artists for independent filmmakers & The Academy of Motion Pictures. Without Chaplin & his partners, there would be NO Hollywood at all or film making as it is presently known.
For all of these reasons & more, this era should not be forgotten or regarded as irrelevant, but should be celebrated just as much as any contemporary work- for without it, there would be NO contemporary works, & free speech today might not be so free at all.
Care is taken to compile a good default listing, but in this case it is fun to sort by Date Of Release since this list is best served by passion for the subject than anything else.
Sorting by date will separate time periods & group like items together. More contemporary dates are likely to have docs & bios about past decades.
● A note: Some films have no photo or maybe no synopsis but do indeed have links. ● Contributors cannot magickally have links for everything just because a page for it exists since contributors don’t make the pages. Software does that, not people, since it is mirroring IMDB & TVmaze. Software makes the pages, posts the pics, it does all the work. It’s automated.
● ALL PAGES ARE PLACE HOLDERS when created.
● Only later are links placed WHEN POSSIBLE. Some things are very rare & hard to find. If you are unwilling to contribute the link yourself, then you’re out of luck. ✔ Requests ARE currently accepted, but sometimes they aren’t, which is too bad.When it gets like that, it’s best to suck it up & move on. ● https://www.primewire.tf/approved_hosts ● https://www.primewire.tf/start

Movie:
Marilyn Monroe Declassified
( 2016 )
"Marilyn Monroe Declassified" is a feature documentary by director Paul Davids about Marilyn Monroe's life and career and her untimely, mysterious death in 1962 at age 36. Perhaps the most groundbreaking aspect of this film: Declassified FBI and CIA documents have helped the director unravel the puzzle of her demise, which was officially ruled a "probable suicide." Many people with first-hand knowledge at the time of her death did not agree with "probable suicide," and information about her affair with President Kennedy and close association with his brother, Robert, came out later. Two policemen and eventually two chiefs of police of Los Angeles (Darryl Gates and Tom Reddin) and Mayor Yorty all made statements that began to unravel a murder cover-up, and declassified FBI files (plus Chief Tom Reddin's statement) pointed to some involvement by Attorney General Robert Kennedy. This film ultimately exonerates Robert Kennedy and proves he was setup for blackmail and entrapment, revealing by whom and precisely how, while providing detailed evidence supporting the conclusion that Marilyn Monroe was murdered. The film is a fascinating slice of hidden history benefiting from about 20 new interviews and the piecing together of historic testimony (including Senate crime hearings), news footage and clues from key archival interviews that span the decades. It also provides a summary of Marilyn Monroe's modeling and acting career, much assisted by a new interview from nationally known film critic Pete Hammond. (The nudity in the film is related only to Marilyn Monroe's famous "Golden Dreams" calendar pose, and drugs come up only in connection with abuse of prescription drugs in the 1950's and 1960's.)

He struggles valiantly to find some way to communicate with the outside world. Tapping his head in Morse code he breaks through and pleads with his caretakers to be put on display as a living example of the cost of war.

Movie:
Blondie
( 1938 )
Blondie and Dagwood are about to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary but this happy occasion is marred when the bumbling Dagwood gets himself involved in a scheme that is promising financial ruin for the Bumstead family. Camping on the porch of the Poor House would become the most-used prevalent plot line in the 27 series-films that followed. It was also an issue in the comic-strip for about a year after its inception when it was basically a continuity strip but, aside from Dagwood's inability to coax a pay-raise from Mr. Dithers over the years, the financial status of the family was seldom an issue when the format switched to a gag-a-day strip.

The Bide-a-Wee Mouse Home has sent the orphan mouse, Nibbles, to spend Thanksgiving with Jerry. But Jerry's cupboard is bare, and Nibbles is always hungry. They start by raiding Tom's milk dish, but Tom wakes up and drains it. Fortunately, Mammy has just put out a huge Thanksgiving feast, just ready for the raiding. And that's just what Jerry and Nibbles do, grabbing Pilgrim hats from the table decorations. All goes fairly well until Nibbles eats a whole orange, which is way too big for him. Jerry smacks him with a spoon, which sends the orange flying, right into Tom's mouth. Tom stalks up to the table in a feather duster, which turns into an Indian headdress. Battle follows, featuring Tom sending flaming cat-tails after the mice, and culminating in a champagne bottle launching Tom into the dish cabinet, which crashes down. Tom waves a white flag, and all three sit down to a polite dinner, but Nibbles eats the whole turkey before anyone else can touch it.

Movie:
Mouse Cleaning (Short 1948)
( 1948 )
Mammy has just finished cleaning the whole house. Tom, meanwhile, has just chased Jerry through a mud puddle and into the house. Mammy stops him and makes him clean up the mess. She goes out shopping, and threatens Tom that if there's any mess when she gets back, he's out. Jerry hears this, and you know where it's going from there. First, a few scatterings of ashes from the ashtray. Tom throws a tomato, which hits the wall; as he's cleaning, Jerry empties a fountain pen into the water bucket. He then aims it at Tom, but it's empty; Tom fires the pen at the curtains, but for him, it works. A lightning wash-and-iron session, and the drapes are fine again. Now, some acrobatics from Jerry: he juggles lots of eggs, then throws them; Tom catches and juggles them himself, but Jerry has also started spinning a pie plate on a fork. Tom manages to take that over, too, but then Jerry pulls the rug out (literally). Tom catches the eggs in a carton, but the pie hits him. An exhausted Tom falls asleep. Jerry inks the bottoms of his feet with a stamp pad, then gets Tom to chase him. Another whirlwind cleanup session, hastened by the approaching figure of a grocery-laden Mammy. But Jerry's got one more surprise for Tom: a load of coal is being delivered, and he moves the ramp to the living room, where the coal engulfs Mammy. Tom runs down the street as Mammy throws coal; he thinks he's safely out of range when he taunts her, but he's wrong once more.
