I’m a fan of old sci-fi, western and kung-fu movies but they’re hard to find these days on broadcast TV. It’s much easier and profitable for them to run an infomercial with some past their prime celebrity hawking weight loss products or get rich schemes. Cable or dish isn’t much better. Into this void steps BMovies.com.

BMovies shows an array of classic horror, kung fu, sci-fi and western movies, the kind of movies that were the stock and trade of drive-in theatres in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Most of these movies are long forgotten and feature actors that never made the mainstream. There are some exceptions like McLintock starring John Wayne and some of Bruce Lee’s early Chinese films.

The player interface is just OK and the quality is rather low, but what do you want for free.

So far as advertising goes this is minimal on the site. They say that ads will play before the movie but I didn’t see any. Maybe their ad server was down at the time or something.

If you like old, cheesy, movies and like watching the whole thing and not a short clip on YouTube, check out BMovies.com
