4. Open Culture

Open Culture is a site that offers free educational and cultural media culled from the Internet. It was founded by Dan Colman, who is Director & Associate Dean at Stanford University. According to its founders: "Our whole mission is to centralize this content, curate it, and give you access to this high quality content whenever and wherever you want it." Not unlike the Internet Archive, Open Culture features media beyond video including educational resources and audio books. Particularly interesting is the site's collection of works on famous critical thinkers and philosophers. For example, you can consider Michel Foucault's work, including collected lectures from YouTube. The proper movie section of the site contains about 600 movies, most of which are out of copyright, such as Alexander Nevsky, but which also includes contemporary films like the Beastie Boys feature Fight for Your Right Revisited.
