Given that it's shutting down, what's HN's favourite videos? I'll start.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9077214414651731007 - The Union: The business of getting high

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8653788864462752804... - The Fog of War. Incredible war documentary

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5968506788418521112... - If you only watch one, watch this. This is a Horizon's documentary 5 years after Chernobyl when they were still worried about a second explosion. The people there are all working under massive radiation doses, and there's loads of camera artifacts that are a result of radiation exposure (trails caused by the CCDs being exposed to radiation, white flicks of light on film etc.)

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5267640865741878159... - Robert Newman's History of Oil

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3323021761394989726... - The human animal

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3840459477996788886# - A blank on the map

If you want to download the videos to keep then you can use a service such as http://keepvid.com/ or if you're using firefox, search for the flashgot extension. The resulting files can be played with a player like VLC (http://www.videolan.org/).

There's an effort to archive the videos, similar to the one to download Yahoo's videos before they shut down. To check it out go to #googlegrapes on EFNet.
