Some may be in public domain. This means the copyrights either expired or were not renewed. "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946) was in public domain for years but the music copyright was reestablished and now only NBC has rights to air it.

Very, very few movies would not be protected by copyright. In the US, they would have to be made before 1922, or made between 1923 and 1989 but not renewed, and tracing renewal is often difficult. Movie projects made entirely by government agencies would not be protected by copyright, but often these projects include protected elements.

The Berne Convention requires protection for a minimum of 50 years after the work has been made available, but many countries have extended this term (in the US, for example, to 95 years).

Yes, usually not only as the complete project, but the script, each song, and more.
