It works! I typed in "blockbuster" adjusted upload time filter to "today" and started scrolling. Just scroll past anything that is less than 1 h long, and you'll find movies pretty easily.
Before long, I found a few movies that had very special names like: "Rotten Tomatoes Full Movie | Blockbuster Movie 2025 | Action Movies Hollywood 2025 in English 2160p" or "60's Sci-fi | The Day Mars Invaded Earth | Full Movie". I also tried a bunch of other related keywords like: "movie", "hollywood" and "scifi". Surprisingly, finding bollywood movies is very easy.
The only problem is that you'll never know what you'll find. If you want to watch jurassic park, you could search for "dinosaur movie", but I couldn't make that work. Searching by genre seems to work reasonably well, but you need to get creative with the keywords.
When you do find a movie, copy the name into a text file and start collecting these silly names. Pretty soon you'll notice which words appear frequently, so start searching for those. There's no single universal word that always works. Here's are a few words that seems to work for me: Rotten Tomatoes, Full Movie, film, blockbuster, action movie, hollywood, 2160p, adventure, Thriller, mystery movie, free movie
