So while browsing one of my favorite websites of all time (something I do quite a few times a day), I ran across something that gave me a slight pleasant shock. I was mainly surprised for the fact that on a site that I browse solely for the purpose of what many would call "lowbrow entertainment", I found something quite "highbrow" that would actually pertain to the class itself.
The wonderful discovery that I came across is something Youtube Classics - a recent phenomenon set up in order to make time-honored works of film more accessible to the masses (and yes, it seems that the words of a wise man by the name of Karl Marx are coming true.... "socialism is the future")
In this section of the website, Youtube "users" (and that means anyone, since you aren't required to have an account) can choose from a wide-variety of films that can can watch in their entirety as a single "video"
(and yes even some titles that were mentioned in class by the main man, titles such as the The Blue Lagoon)
And probably the best part is - the extensive film collection covers a huge plethora of different genres: anything from goofy comedies, serious dramas, foreign films and even a few thought-provoking documentaries can be found here....
This is the link to the Youtube Classics

Everyone Enjoy!
