U.S. films released before 1964 were initially given copyrights that only lasted 28 years. If the copyright wasn't renewed before it expired, the movie lost its copyright status.
If you see a modern film such as Breaking Away here, it's almost certainly protected by copyright.
If a pre-1964 film is sold by Mill Creek (in a 50-movie pack) or by Alpha Video, it's probably p.d.
