Internet Archive: Moving Image Archive

It contains thousands of short movies, mostly pre-1970 from what I saw, all ready to download or stream from the web. See \”The Librarian,\” a 1947 career guidance flick. Or \”A Day Called X\” about the nuclear destruction of Portland, Oregon (featuring the actual mayor). Or \”Destination Earth\” in which \”Martian dissidents learn that oil and competition are the two things that make America great.\”
Amazing… \”
