Help build the world's best public-domain cinema.

Archive Watch is a free Apple TV app that turns the Internet Archive's vast public-domain collection — feature films, classic TV, silent cinema, animation, newsreels, and vintage commercials — into a beautiful, cinematheque-style viewing experience.

This page is where the catalog grows. Anyone can suggest a title to add. The curator reviews every suggestion and publishes the best ones to the app.
