I love old movies. I even wrote a book about a sixties movie producer. Some of the best of the old classics have slipped into the public domain, which means they're free. Some of the old PD titles have been put out on DVD over the years, but a great many are in a kind of film limbo, with no easy way to see them if they don't get picked up for DVD distribution.
I'd suggest one nice solution for the iPad. It's called Movie Vault, and basically it lets you stream more than a thousand public domain titles for your viewing enjoyment, either over WiFi or 3G. Now I won't say most of these films are in pristine condition. Quite the contrary. With no studio claiming them, there haven't been any resto
