I am looking for a book stating issue and expiration dates of copyright on older films. I want to show them on the internet on a website. Is this possible. Will a book be sufficient proof that the film is indeed in the public domain?

Just about every commercial movie is the copyrighted property of someone. Copyrights last 100 years!
Usually, the credits tells you who made it. Using others' intellectual property without permission can have serious consequences, so be careful.
Not sure there is anyone one database for films but IMDB is pretty extensive.
