Freaky Flicks is a p2p community with a radical mascot that collects arthouse and cult cinema.
Browse the selection on The Pirate Bay or look at their list of Red Letter Directors.
The FF Forum is pretty good for recommendations and links to non-p2p and legal online video.

I see half a dozen films right off the bat on their Pirate Bay page that are in no way shape or form out of copyright.

Karagarga has a much deeper collection, although it's invite only.

This is awesome. Thanks!
Big ups to the Herzog on here. Also, The Hourglass Sanatorium is pretty interesting.

Great. I've been wanting to see Werkmeister Harmonies for a long time, and would certainly never have found it in Seoul.

I feel like a tool. But how do I access the pirate bay website, cause I'm using Firefox on OS X and it aint working.

I have very mixed feelings about this. The more people that get to see avant garde films outside the mainstream, the better. But some of these artists are still alive and could do with actual financial support from DVD/video sales.
Hopefully the people downloading (and enjoying) these films make the effort to support the artists.
Also: needs more Brakhage.

I wish they'd stuck to films that aren't in wide release on DVD but it's interesting nonetheless. Nice to see at least one Wiseman and those Bela Tarr titles though.

thanks, there several herzog films here that are unavailable. as for ones i've seen, everyone should watch "god's angry man" (http://freakyflicks.50webs.com/g4.html), a 1980 documentary about a televangelist.
also, it's funny the selective issues that metafilter commentators (at large) choose to flaunt their morality over.

Meh. I have no problems with being morally inconsistent by being pissed off at people downloading Blue Velvet but not being pissed off when they do the same for Pearl Harbor.

PostIrony: Maybe you're using a javascript blocker or similar Firefox add-on, like NoScript? La Bahía Pirata works just fine on my PowerBook.
