I like to look through lists of movies online and see what out-of-
copyright ones (released before 1955) are downloadable from the
Internet Archive.
It's hard to find Australian ones though. Anyone have some
pointers? Ideal would be a site like Project Gutenberg Australia,
but for movies. The government runs all these film collections, but
I guess it would serve the public too well to offer full downloads
instead of just the clips I can find on their websites?
Wikipedia has their lists of Australian films. I'm struggling to
find downloads for most of them though, even looking on BitTorrent
and Edonkey.

Some like The Sentimental Bloke (1919), Robbery Under Arms (1920)
and In the Wake of the Bounty (1933) are at the Internet Archive.
But not much luck with other ones.
Note that streaming services are of no interest to me unless I can
rip videos files from them using youtube-dl/yt-dlp. I guess I
should have checked YouTube but I keep getting tricked by
deceptively named videos when looking on there these days, so I've
gone off it a bit.
