Retro Reel is a movie streaming app for classic films! Currently, it has a small, but quickly growing catalog of movies in the public domain. Discover movies across genres and eras. Bookmark them for later or watch them now with high-quality video playback!
Hi everyone!
So one day, I discovered MASSIVE communities on FB and Instagram dedicated to classic films! Especially the "Golden Age of Hollywood" from 1910s to 60s.
But I found that there wasn't a well-polished streaming app dedicated to them. I decided to make one! A friend of mine joined me on this journey, she works on community and curation.
The classic film community has been awesome and a lot of the folks are millennials and GenZ which I didn't expect!
Plus, I catch a lot of pop-culture references now 😎.
The app currently has public domain movies only. We're constantly adding more and working on features to make discovery easier. HLS streaming makes the videos fast too âš¡.
If you have an Android phone, check it out! I'd love to get feedback.
Also, I am trying to do some #buildinpublic stuff on my Twitter if you want to follow the journey 🙂
Cheers!
Fantastic! Love it! Love it!
Best films ever! Don’t mind strolling thru them. No woke commercials no woke Hollywood trash. Just good acting from a great era!!! Thank You so much!
Missing closed caption choice. Also no search engine for specific actors, movies, genre, etc. Otherwise, love the movies. Many are some of my favorites.
