    The Mechanical Universe Series by PBS: This is an excellent series produced by Public Broadcasting, JPL lab and the California Institute of Technology. Each one of these 52 films is 30 minutes long so they require almost an entire class period to show the whole thing, however you may also cue up the video and show only the part you desire.
