Here is a list of feature length films in the [[Public Domain]] in the United States of America. (Other countries have different copyright laws.) There is also a book from the 1970s called "50,000 motion pictures in the public domain" which was created by checking films that had been registered for copyright but the copyright was never renewed - something that was required in the USA before 1976.
{{cleanup|Before this page can be redirected to the category list, work pages need to be written for the redlinks here. [[Works Pages Are a Free Launch]]... but make sure that a link is correct before creating a page for it. (Our links are case-sensitive.)}}
