Subject: A great intro to the archives
This film is a MUST for anyone who is new to the website. It tells you about what this website has to offer, and it shows some clips of films on the site...

Subject: Some guy and his films.
HeÂs got a lot of films in his collection. Wonder how much he could get if he sold them on Ebay. Who cares about a bunch of old films anyways?
JUST KIDDING RICK!! I love ya! This is a MUST SEE on this site!

this short video is the essential introduction to the Prelinger Archives. After viewing it at least 6 times, I still find it most entertaining

Subject: A perfect introduction...
This is a perfect introduction for anybody not already familiar with Prelinger Archives, although still quite an interesting watch for those who are familiar with either this site, or the actual Archives in New York.
Narrated (somewhat expectedly) by Mr Rick Prelinger, this film gives an overview of the archive itself, the services it provides, and a great explanation and history of Ephemeral films. It remains interesting the entire time, and features plenty of films contained in the archive.
This is worth the download purely to better grasp the idea and realisation of Prelinger Archives, no matter how much you already know, or how long you have been visiting this site.
So show your friends and family and get them involved in the Prelinger Archives too =)
Oh, and I know how to pronounce ephemeral and Prelinger now, so I'm wrapped =P
