Internet Archive: The Phantom of the Opera
The 1925 classic Phantom of the Opera is available as a download from the Internet Archive. Very cool, one of my fun memories of my time spent in New Jersey was seeing this film in the chapel at Rutgers on Halloween, accompanied by live organ music. Unfortunately, the mpeg itself is of very marginal quality: lots of artifacts, dust, scratches, and general nastiness. If you’d like to see a beautiful rendition of this, try picking up this gorgeous edition on DVD that I blogged about before. The Phantom of the Opera, The Ultimate Edition from the Milestone collection has multiple versions of this classic story, with very clean imagery from a pristine copy, beautiful tinting, and a great sound track. Spend the $15 $25 bucks or whatever. It’s worth it.
