Another link that you may be interested in - purely for historical reasons of course. The stuff that might grab your eye starts about 1/4 of the way down the page. See if you can pick what I am referring to.

Wonderful stuff thanks for posting. Our US friends really do know how to make a good publicity film!
One of my favourites is the Cat film One Turn of the Earth.
