Old Films
If you have broadband, you should head over to the Prelinger Archives (part of the wonderful archive.org) to check out some of the old films housed there.
A Case of Spring Fever is one of the strangest technology films I've ever seen. "Coily" is, uh, quite the character. Quite bizarre, but very entertaining.
You might also want to check out a 1927 instructional film on usage of dial telephones. A film about early atom bomb testing is also quite interesting.
If you're in the mood for an actual feature film, may I suggest 1938's Reefer Madness? (As a side note, you should also check out Eric Schlosser's excellent book of the same name.)
