Check classic films for US public-domain status
Find out which films you can use freely in the US: each title comes back public domain, likely public domain, check renewal (1931-1963 films that needed a renewal) or protected, with the date it enters the public domain and why. This example checks six films from 1922 to 1975; swap in your own list or a CSV link.
