Paramount is making over a 100 movies from its catalogue available for free streaming on YouTube, in what has been called the Paramount Vault.

Most of the movies are obviously from the archives, and according to reports might not feature the best the studio has to offer but will still make for quite a treat. The films have been uploaded on the studio's verified YouTube channel. There are some classics including Ironweed (1987), King Creole (1964), Funny About Love (1990) and Margot at the Wedding (2007). The channel was launched on December, 2014.

The intention is not just to make a whole bunch of films available to audiences for free but also in a way to capture Paramount's contribution to the rich cinematic history of Hollywood. Aside from the full-length films, there will also be select clips from Paramount films that will introduce cinema lovers to both new and old movies. For instance the studio also uploaded a clip from Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation preceding its release. There is also a collection of "all time favorite moments."

Here's the official description for the channel:

"The Paramount Vault showcases a collection of Paramount full-length films and clips including selections that range from black-and-white to color, comedy to horror, and everything in between. Viewers are invited to explore the vast landscape of cinema's history, share their favorite films, and discover new ones through this official channel created by Paramount Pictures."

If more movie studios start following suit, we wonder if they could factor in the competition for businesses like Netflix and Amazon Prime. Of course, we should note that only viewers in the United States are able to watch the full-length movies.
