Classic Experimental Films for Download

For your online viewing pleasure: while some of you may be familiar with the collection of Fluxus films at the Ubuweb (a repository of all things avant and all that), Ubuweb has now just launched a new section of classic avant garde films, including films by Buñuel, Man Ray, Kenneth Anger, Guy Debord, Jack Smith and many more. Dig the caveat: "We've mostly plucked these from file-sharing. As such, UbuWeb is not responsible for the quality of the films. Nor do we guarantee that each part will work. No complaints, please."

Also this: "If you have a better quality rip or other films that you'd like to donate to this collection, please contact us. We'd be happy to host it." All I have to say is, if you have 'em, share 'em.
