Here is a list of feature length films in the Public Domain in the United States of America. (Other countries have different copyright laws.) There is also a book from the 1970s called "50,000 motion pictures in the public domain" which was created by checking films that had been registered for copyright but the copyright was never renewed - something that was required in the USA before 1976.
