B-Movies is an app to browse the Internet Archives Moving Images library of free movies, films, and videos.

To browse the library, tap on one of the several available types of collections. Doing so will display all the sub-collections within that collection. Movies in sub-collections can be sorted according to their popularity or by the date they were added to the collection.

Tap on any movie to display the details about that movie. Details include the full description of the movie, its rating if it has one, the number of downloads, and its running time if available. Since most movies are uploaded by users, some movies may not have complete details. A list of related terms may also be shown. Tapping on one of these is a shortcut to doing a search for that term.

If you find a particularly interesting movie, you can bookmark it for later viewing by using the bookmark control in the top-right corner of the Details screen. Switch to the Bookmarks tab to view your bookmarks. Swipe across any bookmark to delete it.

Disclosures:

To play movies in the archive with B-Movies, you must connect to the internet via a Wi-Fi network.

The Internet Archive in no way endorses this product, nor are they associated with Bubble Pop Software in any manner.

Pros and cons of B-Movies app for iPhone and iPad

B-Movies app good for

I dont understand the mediocre ratings for this app; its a small library of features, docs, cartoons, film noir, burlesque and nudie-cutie loops (hubba hubba! :) vintage features, and hard-to-find tv. An absolute no-brainer for a movie buff to have on their iPhone or iPod touch, etc. Well organized, and put together with much affection and respect for movie-fools. Download immediately!
The app collections selections are limited, but the search function allows you to find file listings far beyond those listed in the app. I discovered the first Lone Ranger TV episode! App seems to work well.
This app has many of the original Betty Boop cartoons, as a big fan of this beloved character, this is truly superb! Im really enjoying this app and I havent even started looking at other categories!!
I think this app is cool because its got those old cartoons that I grew up as a kid watching. If your looking for an app two watch Avatar or Transforms this is not it. They show older movies and shows. If your into that, then you will love this app.
This app is a convenient doorway to thousands of great videos available at the Internet Archive. Im talking about documentaries, old movie trailers, vintage cartoons, full-length movies, experimental CGI films, hilarious Brick films (animated Legos) ... the list goes on and on. Im sure I will be draining my battery day after day, because this app makes it so easy to watch and bookmark my favorites. Outstanding job, Bubble Pop Software! Now Im just hoping youll create an app for the Old Time Radio section of the Internet Archive.
Last night I watched obscure 1960’s sitcoms (complete with campy commercials admonishing me to buy the right toothpaste for my family) while in bed. Thank you for bringing the wonder and amazement of internetarchive.org to the iphone/iPod Touch! ..Yes, larger movie files are going to take a while to buffer, but that’s not the Apps fault.

Some bad moments

This may be a well organized library but few display if a video format is available for viewing on iPhone. ( and yes I do have wifi) I was hoping to find some fun cartoons for my kids. After a frustrating evening searching this library I found only an old commercial to play ...then deleted the app. Too bad. It promises to be a fun one Id even pay for if it worked as promised.
Ive looked on like 50 different videos and non of them have a video option. All that comes up is the title, more info and keywords. Really a disappointment. And when I go to app support there is nothing to contact developers to see whats up. Dumb.
I cannot get a single movie to play over 3G or WiFi. I sooo want this to work but nothing will play!
Nice features , but the movies never loaded!!! If the movies would load its the best app out there, but..... No movies, no app, low rating!!!
It has nothing to what I thought it was. I could not find a thing that I wanted to see,and most of the videos wont even load for me!!!
Needs to be able to connect with 3G as well to make this a great app. Whenever it does will give more stars, other than that this is no use to me since it freezes after so many minutes into the show. Thanks
