The allure of old Hollywood never seems to fade. The stars of the golden age shine as bright as ever. The studio system has definitely produced a number of memorable names - from Greta Garbo and Cary Grant to Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando. Filmmakers like Cecil B. DeMille and George Cukor are legends in their own right. Their films are among the best ever made. If you're eager to explore, you can always flip through a movie history book (or app) and use that as your starting point. You'll have hours of fun and learn quite a bit in the process. From Citizen Kane to Ben-Hur, there's plenty to enjoy.

Now the next step will be to look up the information on and reviews of some of the films that may strike your fancy. IMDB has set itself as the golden standard for this purpose but, for older Hollywood movies, you might want to try Reelgood instead. This app will give you a few useful pointers on where you can find and stream even the more obscure titles. Everything from horror to comedy, period drama, and film noir should be covered. You can even keep the kids entertained with some classic Disney.

Of course, in the 21st century, you don't have to sit in front of a television set and wait for something interesting to appear. Instead, you can use a good streaming service to get any content you need - anywhere, anytime. Netflix will be on most people's minds but that is not always the right answer. In fact, for some lesser-known classics, you might want to turn to Tubi and start your cinematic adventure. The app even offers much of its content for free. You can either watch alone or perhaps have fun with friends.
