Quote from Dagnabit123 :
Interesting that you highlighted two racist cartoons.

1. Song of the South is a piece of history.
2. Jungle Book (not a cartoon) is not a cartoon. I have never heard it called racist before....

So many movies are great which you may miss out on if you consider history inappropriate today. It was what it was. It is no longer.

Gone with the Wind
Topper (funny)
Come to the Stable (SO funny!)
My man Godfrey (funny)
Meet John Doe
Lillies of the Field (Sidney Poitier)
Pocketful of Miracles (comedy, Betty Davis)
...off the top of my head.....

I was just there last week reading some of Kafka's "The Castle". (I had to read it in college 40 years ago and I was reminded of it from a personal experience.)

Great resource.

Internet Archive is a great place indeed! They also have WaybackMachine which can be used to reference old webpage snapshots!

However, this is not a deal and should be marked as information post.

What is a better deal than free..!!

Quote from Philip_Marc :
I'm worried if this website ever gets taken down because it admittedly does have copyrighted material, but it's a wealth of content it has.

Just today I downloaded an ISO of Windows 7 Enterprise (it's like the Ultimate Edition) for nostalgia and there the ISO was easy to acquire and clean, no cracks or whatever.

Say, does it have Nintendo stuff? Nintendo had been DMCA'ing a lot of people lately like crazy. 😕

People still use 7. What's nostalgic about it? Figured you'd go for 3.1 or 95' or something that actually changed computing.

IDK, its kinda a deal if you save yourself money on something you would've bought otherwise...
Just food for thought, not trying to argue.

I am surprised how ratings have changed. The Dick Van Dyke show has some in the series rated PG! Who would have guessed!

There were no TV ratings back then. Modern review boards viewed the episodes and applied their own ratings. Their modern ratings are ridiculous.

I think the Catholic Church had a rating system.
