For Scrooge McDuck, "free" was the most beautiful word. Don't know if I'd go that far, but it is a nice one, and sometimes it applies to movies. The Internet Archive, home of many things free, includes a Moving Image Archive, and its Movies section is worth perusing. The Feature Films category is most relevant for this discussion.
There's film noir, comedy, sci-fi and horror, all of it in the public domain. I went a-searchin' yesterday, and grabbed Buster Keaton's The General, pre-Code She Done Him Wrong with Mae West and Cary Grant, The Most Dangerous Game with Joel McCrea and Fay Wray, and Anthony Mann's noir T-Men as test samples.
