This is astounding.
I stumbled on this hidden feature last night when I was looking for a movie I'd seen reviewed favorably but couldn't locate on my usual streaming suspects.
That film — "Sudden Outbursts of Emotion," a 2024 title from Finland — is on YouTube, where it's not free but rather rentable.
And very good, BTW.
In the course of looking for it I opened a page with zillions of free movies — big time titles like "Mission Impossible" etc. — and it was like I'd fallen down a rabbit hole into an alternate universe.
Free, the way we like it!

ReplyDeleteMy experience with Kevin Stratvert's guide to free movies on YouTube
Sounded good. Too good to be true. But I play the roulette wheel in Reno, so why not give Kevin's guide a spin?
Opened a YouTube window; so far, so good. I shall pause to say I was running the Brave browser. It does things no other Browser does. Back to the show.
Clicked the 3 lines in the upper left corner; got a drop-down menu like Kevin's; still good.
Scrolled down to the Explore heading. Huh. Kevin's Explore options were 'Shopping / Music / Movies & TV / Show more'. Mine were 'Shopping / Music / Movies / Show more'. Will that make a difference?
Kevin said, 'Click on this [Movies & TV] option'. I had no 'Movies & TV' option; I had a 'Movies' option. Clicked it.
Kevin got a 'Movies & TV' page with menu options 'Browse / Free / Live / Purchased'. I got a 'Movies' page with menu options 'Browse / Purchased'.
Huh. Nothing free.
Went back and clicked 'Show more' to see if the 'Movies & TV' option was under there. No joy.
Followed Kevin's guide on my Opera browser. No joy.
Is it just me? Is it something I said?
