How to find all available movies?

Recently, I had been browsing through my Roku TV and located a section "Free Premium Movies without Ads" and there was a listing of over 2,200 titles. Since that night, I haven't been able to locate this movie list. Generally the free movie listing and other listings only shows 40 titles on the main screen. When I found this movie archive, it gave me the option of the 2,200+ movies. Does anyone know how to find all movies possible to watch on Roku like I did? Thanks if you can help!

        Thank you for chiming in, I'm familiar with searching by default. I can find specific movies of actors I like or specific titles with no problem.

        The menu I had found was showing over 2,200 movies at one time. I was browsing a big archive, I could see more than the typical 40 options at once. I wish I had paid closer attention to where I was at, I haven't been able to get back into that search since that night.

        I haven't seen anything online, forums or anywhere explaining where I can look at over 2,000+ movies at one time. I'll keep looking through the internet, I'm not looking to do anything illegal here... I'm familiar with how people jailbreak their systems, all the secret menus and stuff... infact I seen all of that on youtube when I was searching for this archive search online... I just want access so I can browse everything Roku has to offer. Thanks for chiming in, I'll keep digging till I eventually gain access to that menu again.

    You likely accessed a hidden Roku Channel movie database while browsing "Free Premium Movies without Ads." This section sometimes hides its full library, only displaying a limited selection. To access the complete 2,200+ movie archive, try searching directly through the Roku Search bar using keywords like "Free Movies" or "2,200 Movies" to see if it triggers the hidden library again. Alternatively, explore the "Channels" section and look for any unfamiliar channel named similarly to "Free Premium Movies" or "Movie Archive." Remember, these hidden channels might not be readily visible, so persistent searching is key.
