Coordinating your personal taste and schedule with TV and movie theater listings can sometimes be next to impossible.
If you want to look up classic must-see movies on your own, there are plenty of places for you to begin your search and start your film-watching experience.
The American Film Institute has several lists ranking the greatest films of all time, from the funniest to the most romantic.
If you are looking to branch out into international cinematic waters, there is also the British Film Institute’s version which lists Britain's 100 best films.
Turner Classic Movies has a weekly series called “The Essentials” in which film historian Robert Osborne and Alec Baldwin choose and discuss films that impacted cinema and popular culture. Luckily for the busy film fan, there is also a list of these movies on TCM’s website.
Once you have made your own short-list of the films you want to see, the next step is finding a way to watch them.
Netflix is a good place to watch classic films because of their extensive selection and their online feature which streams a bunch of classic films.
For non-Netflix subscribers, YouTube can be a great alternative and has several films under its classic category.
TCM’s Media Room has a few feature-length films among its sea of movie clips. Just be sure to type “feature film” into the search box.
So, with a little Internet surfing, you can enjoy classic films whenever you choose.
