Free Movies on Demand, on Time Warner Cable, has a few interesting flicks now available.

Stanley Kubrick: Lolita
John Frankenheimer: Seconds


Seconds is a fascinating SF-noir thriller, with some brilliant performances. Especially notable is character actor William Randolph's bleak vision of a emotionally-deadened banker on the verge of a breakdown, and Will Geer as a sociopathic entrepreneur with a folksy facade. Seconds was noted by Harlan Ellison as one of a handful of intelligent SF films.

The real highlights of Kubrick's Lolita are the improvised raps of Peter Sellers as Claire Quilty.

Here is a very old movie, which is in the public domain.

It's a joke, son (http://www.archive.org/details/its_a_joke_son)

It's a movie about Senator Claghorn. You might be familiar with a cartoon character that was a parody of that character...

Here is one that you could only enjoy if you made it into a drinking game.

Do movies on Netflix streaming count? :)

And also, VODO has torrents to indie films released through them for free. They've added quite a few since I last got over there, but judging by the few I have seen, seems like you can't go wrong!

Lolita, one of the great books of the 20th century.
Perfect satire really, and Nabakov's use of the language is exquisite
