repost.
Open Culture is an online resource linking to over 400 free movies (lots of
classics, including 22 Hitchcock films), 250 free ebooks (including Kindle),
audio books, free language lessons (40 languages), 375 free online courses
from top universities, videos, textbooks and much, much more. The site says
it's "The best free cultural & educational media on the web." Pretty amazing
resource.

What is Open Culture's Mission?
Open Culture brings together high-quality cultural & educational media for
the worldwide lifelong learning community. Web 2.0 has given us great
amounts of intelligent audio and video. It's all free. It's all enriching.
But it's also scattered across the web, and not easy to find. Our whole
mission is to centralize this content, curate it, and give you access to
this high quality content whenever and wherever you want it. Free audio
books, free online courses, free movies, free language lessons, free ebooks
and other enriching content -- it's all here. Open Culture was founded in
2006.

information to large audiences, often with the help of the internet.
