Criterion, the distributor famed for its feature-rich DVDs of elite movies for film lovers, streams many of its titles online. Now, as Hollywood award season grinds on, that collection gives film buffs a chance to enjoy free classics from around the world.

From The Last Emperor (above), to The Third Man, This Is Spinal Tap and The Thief of Baghdad, Criterion's movie collection is viewable 24/7 at the company's website.

It's an entertaining way to look back on years when the Oscars weren't a complete joke.
