I'm know it isn't new, but I just found hulu.com. Free registration gives access to free (at least for now) TV series episodes, movies, and clips. These can be watched in your browser or you can download and use the hulu desktop application. I like this one!  Of course, high speed access is a must.

The Futures Channel (connecting learning to the real world) describes itself as delivering "hands-on, real world math and science lessons." It contains "real world movies" on the following topics:

• Animals
• Art & Music
• Commerce
• Design
• Environment
• Innovation
• Living & Working in Space
• Science & Tech

Under Teaching & Learning, listings are

• Algebra in the Real World
• Hands-on Math
• Jaime Escalante
• Kay Toliver
• Problem Solving
• Science & Technology

It seems that this site might provide items to enhance curriculum, especially as it seeks to link curricular content and concepts to their validity outside the classroom.
