Every week, we spend time getting lost in the stacks at archive.org. Each Friday, we offer up a few of our favorite preserved objects and found moments. This week: a short survey of live shows by The National. Read on for the torrent links.
In this week’s FDL: fighting words. We brushed up on strategy with Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. We watched girls kick ass in Lady Whirlwind. We found a copy of The Streetfighter, the first film to earn an X-rating in the US for extreme violence. (Sigh.) We went stealth mode/beast mode with Ninja Death Trilogy. And we got schooled by the master, Bruce Lee. Read on for the free torrent links.
In this week’s FDL, the best of cult film: five free classics, courtesy of the intrepid preservationists over at archive.org. Here’s what’s playing in our late night screening room. Up first: Freaks, a look at the world of sideshow performers. Next on deck: Manos: The Hands of Fate, a film described by Wikipedia as among the worst ever made. Would we stop at Reefer Madness? The answer is NO. Read on for the full list of free downloads.
In this week’s FDL, everything epic, odd, and semi-occult. A classic documentary about finding Bigfoot. An un-natural history of the natural world, featuring unicorns, dragons, and basilisks. A live performance from the (Grateful) Dead, and one from Big Head Todd & The Monsters. And a 19th century cabinet of curiosities.

One year ago today, we won a victory for Internet freedom. One week ago, we lost a hero of the open world. Foundational human rights – equality, expression – are more fragile than they should be. And it’s in this light, and with this knowledge, that we remember and honor the work of civil rights leaders. On Monday, we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His landmark speeches are preserved and protected by the Internet Archive. And you can download them here.
