Snag Films is loaded with great documentaries for instant viewing

Titles that might be familiar include: The American Ruling Class, Biggie and Tupac, Cosmos, Father Roy: Inside the School of Assassins, The Life and Times of Allen Ginsberg, The Times of Harvey Milk, Trembling Before G-D, and T-shirt Travels.

Even the lesser known titles such as Agile Mobile Hostile, a film about R & B legend Andre Williams, and loudQUIETloud: A Film About the Pixies look cool.

If you know anyone planning to teach a distance ed class, this site should be given the once-over cause there's a lot here that have been used in courses at AU and could really enrich an online course.

The 2010 Academy Award winner for animated short is kind of a mix of Pulp Fiction, Die Hard, and Dark Knight all animated with corporate logos. Brilliant but stay away if you would take offense at Big Boy, Ronald McDonald, and the Michelin Man cussing and shooting things up.
