I love this idea! Gives great content to this site, as well as educates everyone.

Here is one that would be awesome:

video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=192012118972057552&q=the+corporation&total=18248&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=4

video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-5277094596195828118&q=life+debt&total=1962&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0

this one is amazing. Life and Debt, deals with how global economy, world bank, and multi-national corporations have had a negative effect on Jamaica.

Thanks for posting those, you can actually add them to the actual pages by clicking the from add from video sharing sites link (I've done that for those videos). You may have tried that and failed with the video.google.ca links which were not working but I've fixed it to work with those now.

Freedom Downtime - Can you launch a nuclear missile by whistling into a payphone? The unofficial story of Kevin Mitnick, possibly the first citizen in ... all ยป American history to be jailed without a bail-hearing. He went to jail for nothing more than copying software, but was "convicted" by the media both for breaking into NORAD as well as causing millions of dollars in damage to a software-company.

Super Size Me - Super Size Me is an Academy Award-nominated 2004 documentary film, directed by and starring Morgan Spurlock, an American independent filmmaker. It follows a 30-day time period (February 2003) during which Spurlock subsists exclusively on McDonald's fast food and stops exercising regularly.

Dangerous Knowledge - In this one-off documentary, David Malone looks at four brilliant mathematicians - Georg Cantor, Ludwig Boltzmann, ... all ยป Kurt Gรถdel and Alan Turing - whose genius has profoundly affected us, but which tragically drove them insane and eventually led to them all committing suicide.
(not on listal or imdb)

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room - Directed by Alex Gibney, this is the inside story of one of history's greatest business scandals, in which top executives of America's 7th largest company walked away with over one billion dollars while investors and employees lost everything.

Great idea. I remember watching The Trap: Whatever Happened to Our Dream of Freedom? when it was broadcast, and found it very interesting. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Kamichi Gaara XD 17 years, 4 months ago at Dec 12 2:16 -

i had the same idea some time ago mainly focussing on short movies. Would be helpfull if they all would share a common tag.

I'm using this one:

ipanmea, for starters, you're missing 'h' at beginning of that 'ttp' link. ;)

and secondly, almost all of those videos are 'no longer available' (I bloody hate YouTube for that reason - Google keeps archives of every single website, but they can't seem to keep youtube videos online for more than a few months?
