What do you get out of that Feynman video? Are there others?

I just watched it---I read the transcript long ago but never watched the video, where he is telling all the stories. I was impressed. Maybe would like to watch more.

 

Is there some other Feynman online video that you think is especially good?

I quite enjoyed these video lectures of his:

This one in particular stood out to me, and is the one which first directed me to the others:

It seems that Bill Gates recently purchased the "Messenger" lectures from Feynman, and is making them available to the public for free.

Bill Gates recently bought the rights to a series of lectures by legendary Caltech physicist Richard Feynman. The former Microsoft head’s purchase shows that the cultural and scientific legacy of Feynman remains strong even 21 years after his death.

 

The lectures, given in 1964 as part of Cornell University’s Messenger Lecture Series, were filmed by the BBC, who had retained the rights since. Gates purchased the lectures for an undisclosed amount.

 

But what would the former Microsoft head want with the copyright to lectures by the revered physicist? In a recent interview with the CERN Bulletin, Gates said that his only plan is to make the footage freely available to the public.
