Warner Bros is sharing select movies for free on YouTube

Over the past several weeks, Warner Bros. Entertainment has been uploading a selection of full movies to a playlist on YouTube.

It'd be easy to assume this is where the studio is putting its less prestigious back catalog, just to see if it can rake in some ad revenue from an unexpected source. And there is some impressively terrible stuff in the playlist, including a 1988 Bobcat Goldthwait vehicle that achieved the rare 0 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Quality films such as Waiting for Guffman(from the hilarious Christopher Guest), The Science of Sleep(directed by Michel Gondry) and The Mission(starring Robert DeNiro and Jeremy Irons) are all currently available in full on the YouTube playlist.
