Welcome to Bishop's Classic Movies
It is our goal to bring great classics back to the top.
Quality Guarantee!
Whenever possible the videos have been transferred from 35mm film for maximum
quality. Some serials and TV shows were transferred from 16mm originals. These
are often the same masters broadcast by TCM and other cable channels who show
older classics, and in some cases our masters are better quality.
Quality is guaranteed. Any film found to be inferior may be exchanged for
another title. Some films because of their age or rarity are simply not
available in perfect condition. Whenever better material turns up, we upgrade
our masters. There are no company logos or watermarks over the picture, and
none of those scary FBI Warnings that do not apply to public domain films.
Public Domain
The Public Domain Catalog contains mostly American films made before 1964.
These carefully researched films have been considered to be in the public
domain in the USA for many years. Why is a film in the public domain? Briefly,
films fall into the public domain because they were never properly registered
with the Library of Congress in the first place or were not renewed as required
by the prevailing copyright laws at the time.
