Those old government propaganda films. For those of you that don't know about this, there is a simply awesome film archive online of these old films.

Internet Moving Images Archive: Movie Collection

There is literally thousands of movies here. Each film usually has five versions available. From a small low res .RM file for dial-up users to VCD quality .MPGs (several hundred megabytes) for broadband users that want to collect these things. And quite the range of subjects, everything from...
(note: all these movies I link to are the mid-sized divx .AVI versions of the films. Ranging from 12-50+ MB each.)

and of course the infamous - Duck and Cover 1951

That is a very cool site. I remember when I accidentally stumbled onto it...it was very late and I was trying to drag myself away from the computer to get some sleep...then I ran into that site and I'm sure I stayed up another couple hours, and didn't even scratch the surface of all the material they have there.
