NANY 2021 Entry: Free Movies (website)
4wd:
First off, great idea :Thmbsup: I've had several free movie/TV apps on the tablet, nice to have things available in one spot.
Would it be possible to implement alphabetically sorting?
Public Domain Movies is somewhat similar.

Not entirely sure if that will be possible, or desirable.
Current default sort is chronological, based on when the movie was added to the site, so most recent will be shown first.
The older a listing is, the higher the chance for dead source links, so that potential increases the deeper down the list you browse, under the current sort order.
I'd rather the freshest stuff that you can actually watch, remaining at the top, where you'll see it first, rather than dragging up the oldest and possibly least watchable stuff, based on an alphabetical sort.
FYI: Everything gets added manually, based on what I happen to find, and that requires me to do a few searches to get the source links. The entries and list of source links are not automated. There are some aspects that can be partially automated (title, year, featured image, description), but only for movies that I have personally watched. I am also relying on visitors to notify me when all source links go dead, so I can remove/replace them when needed.
Public Domain Movies is somewhat similar.

Not really, since they are limiting their site to only those movies they can find on Archive.org and Wikimedia, that are in the public domain. (mostly very old movies)
I get around those kinds of limitations by being the signpost that points the way to more of the sites that are hosting the movies, not just 2 sites That drastically increases the number of movies I can offer, and allows me to offer much more recently made stuff (not just really old movies), by pointing to the sites that have already paid the licensing fees to show them.
But thank you for mentioning them, since I will probably add them as a source for the movies they do carry, if/when the same movies are added to my listings.

No problem, I was just wondering since you have movies that are original + sequel/s and it's always a lot easier to pick them out and watch in order when they're sorted alphabetically.

But there is also the very real possibility that the original and/or sequel(s) won't be available in 6 months.
