Many Cold War-era films to download

[taras]

Just found this (I know web.archive.org has been mentioned previously, but this is much better)-

http://archive.org/movies/movieslisting-browse.php?collection=prelinger&cat=Cold War

Lots of US Cold War films about how bad Communism is, what to do in a nuclear attack, etc etc. Good if you've got a fast connection and some time to spare (their server is sometimes painfully slow). Also, check out the rest of the archive for some other great archive films from the 1920s-1980s.

I love that site! I remember being forced to watch
many of those films as a child. Even then, we knew
how manipulative they were... but it was accepted as
part of the privilege of going to a public school!

I downloaded several of the films and gave them
to my brother the high school teacher.
He is now using them in his history classes.
Propaganda at its finest!

I, of course, love the classic commercials!
