File this under life changing blog posts: Fanboy.com posted this link to Eye of the Goof: The Psychotronics guide to Archive.org. I've known about public domain concerts available for download from the Internet Archive, but have never explored the movies that are available. Apparently there are quite a few cult favorites available for download, many in MPEG 2 format.
So far I've watched The Amazing Mr. X, The Amazing Transparent Man, The Ape, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and Carnival of Souls. This weekend I've got The Last Man on Earth and Kansas City Confidential lined up. There's more than a few bad ones, but for the price I'm sure you won't care. Download speeds are fairly slow, so I would allow a movie to download overnight.
Suffice to say if you're tired of what the Hollywood treadmill has to offer these days then definitely check this out. At least give Carnival of Souls a watch. You won't regret it.
