Watch Over 100 Feature Films for Free on the 'Paramount Vault' YouTube Channel | No Film School

Paramount is betting you do, and they've created a new channel on YouTube called the Paramount Vault, which features over 100 full-length feature films from their archives (though the features only seem to be available in the US at the moment). While a number of these are quite a bit older, with some science fiction B-movies thrown in for good measure, they also have an eclectic mix of newer films. Here's their intro video for a sense of what the Paramount Vault is all about:

As others have said, it's not clear if these films will always remain free on YouTube or if they will cycle them out as newer films are made available. It's also not clear when we might see the newest Paramount films on the Vault channel, though it's possible we may only ever get clips of many of them. It makes a lot of sense that they'd upload hard-to-find classics, but I'd be surprised if they uploaded a ton of the newest movies for any significant period of time (though you never know, as they must be banking on ad revenue paying for some of this). Either way, there's plenty to like, as they've got epics like the 5+ hour 1900 from Bernardo Bertolucci:

As well as some newer films like Noah Baumbach's Margot at the Wedding and Arie Posin's The Chumscrubber (both of which this author happened to enjoy the last time he saw them):

You can also take a gander at the first film from The Wachowski's called Bound:

I'm less familiar with some of the classics, though I'm sure plenty of you out there will give some of them a go. Their categories are a bit confusing at the moment, and it seems like some movies overlap in multiple categories, but I'm sure they will get that straightened out soon enough. If there is really anything to complain about, it's that it seems like these are just the standard definition DVD rips, so hopefully newer films get the high definition (or even 4K) treatment.

What's the Hype With 'Interstellar' Revisiting Cinemas After a Decade in 70mm IMAX?

What's the Hype With 'Interstellar' Revisiting Cinemas After a Decade in 70mm IMAX?

Celebrate the love and hope at the center of Nolan's space epic in the format it was meant to be seen.

If we know anything about Christopher Nolan, he likes to go big. Nolan started with smaller-scale stories (as many of us do) with early noir adjacent works like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, then started going and staying big with his illusionist drama The Prestige. Since then, the scale has been various degrees of massive, with the biggest scope in his time-and-space sprawling epic, Interstellar.

While Interstellarmight not be everyone's favorite Nolan outing, there's no denying it's an impressive feat of filmmaking and his most emotional—if watching Matthew McConaughey's Cooper desperately try to reach his family through quantum space-time doesn't make you cry at least a little bit, what's going on, dude?

With Interstellar'sIMAX release, it's a great time to shed some tears in a public setting in one of the most prestigious film formats around. As we mentioned in our film gauge piece, Nolan loves shooting on film and utilizes 65mm intentionally to provoke a tone of massive scale. In that regard, Interstellar was made for 70mm IMAX. That goes without saying, dawg. That being said, other factors make Interstellar a perfect movie to revisit in theaters while you can.

Let's break down the release further below.
