YouTube has launched a new Movies category where they offer free full length feature films. Currently they offer 400 titles, but plan to add more as indicated by the deals they have been striking up with various movie studios.

As of now, it’s a strange collection of movies. You’d find the weirdest of movie titles. Sample the Horror collection with movies like “OC Babes and the Slasher of Zombietown”, “Satan’s School for Girls” and “Wasp Woman”. It’s basically a collection of unknown grindhouse titles. The Comedy & Drama sections are full of semi-porn titles. It’s as obscure as a movie collection can get.

Before you dismiss it completely, have a look at the Bollywood section. It has a surprising good collection of ever popular movies like “Andaz Apna Apna”, “Hera Pheri”, “Maine Pyar Kiya” and “Amar Akbar Anthony” and old classics like “Half Ticket”, “Gumnaam”, “Pukar” and “Bawarchi”. You can also find some not so popular but excellent movies like “Makdi” and “Manorama Six Feet Under”. But as if adding crappy movies was essential, they’ve also added titles like “Jimmy” and “Saali ne Kela Ghotala” 🙂

We hope the deals with the movie studios materialize soon but for now all you can do is to browse the list and chuckle at the obscure titles or watch some of the classic Bollywood movies.
