World Cinema Classics Free on Youtube, Curated by Daniel Gauss

There are a zillion great, old films for free on youtube. I wanted to bring them together on one blog for lovers of older films or people who want to learn about film history and see some of the best films ever.

Daniel Gauss
Daniel Gauss attended the University of Wisconsin (BA) and then Columbia University (MA). He has worked in the field of education and the social services his entire adult life, forswearing the profit-driven world for a life of service. He has spent most of his adult life in New York City and has lived in four different boroughs of the Apple. As well as working in New York City, he is proud of the ten years of volunteer work he did for the homeless and hungry in Manhattan at the Friends Shelter, located in a Quaker Meeting House near Union Square. When opportunity presented itself, he moved to the megacity of Shenzhen, China where he has been teaching English and other subjects to Chinese students. He has tried very hard to be a bridge between the cultures of the US and the Peoples Republic of China and hopes to do great things for the people of both societies.
