    Anyone on here watch films from the Prelinger Archives on archive.org?

    A lot of ephemeral and promotional films from the 1050's and 60's. Some classics on there like Design for Dreaming which was a musical by Chevrolet!

    Those are some pretty old movies! :p

    But yes, I think I have seen that one 'Design for Dreaming', it was pretty interesting actually to see the processes back then and how they thought cars would be in the future :pac:

    There's a film doing the rounds on youtube at the moment too that shows an advert film from the sixties that actually accurately predicts what life would be like on 1999.

    It shows internet banking, online shopping and all! Link here: http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=OcyDBSlBhwE
