Amazon’s longtime property IMDB.com (which stands for Internet Movie Data Base) has announced that 6,000 movies and television shows are now available for free viewing on the site. Providers for the free content include Hulu, CBS, and Sony Pictures Television. There’s an article about the new offering at Wired.
I wandered over to IMDB and found the latest content listings available at http://www.imdb.com/features/video/. Categories include classic movies, classic TV shows, new TV shows, and independent shorts.
You’ll see available videos when you do a keyword search. For example, when I did a search for Iron Man I got a list of videos in my results — 16 trailers. And when I did a search for Saturday Night Live I got a whopping 633 results.
You don’t have to have an IMDB account to watch videos. Just click and start watching. There is an ad, but it’s not too annoying. And that’s why I’m listening to the “Samurai Hotel” sketch right now…
