	History of Annapolis - this movie actually resides on Military.com and is an interesting old news reel detailing the history of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD, which opened October 1845. There is a short commercial segment (30 seconds) at the beginning, so bear with it a moment and then you'll be able to view the newsreel.
	The Blue Angels - These are videos taken by an amateur videographer and are posted on his blog/website, but are nonetheless very good. For best results, allow them to to download for about 10 seconds before hitting start. That way they continue to download at a rate that you'll be able to view them without much jerkiness. Enjoy.
