I will participate in this even though

and I'm going to make it easy for you by giving you a cheat sheet. . . . The following links include plot summaries, reviews, bios and even trailers you can watch!

It's your profession, isn't it?  That's why you think the rest of us love research.

For the technologically proficient, here is a discussion of where and how to download films.

For a real technical discussion for BitTorrent peer-to-peer downloading, read suggestions by ThatBritGuy, Turambar or DeAnander, A swedish kind of death, or for Mac users not choosing Azureus, Colman and Magnifico. If you need step-by-step instructions, read A swedish kind of death again over at MoA.

Please don't break the law.

Is that possible? ;-) Which laws? :-)

I don't know about the screenshots, but the "pedagogy" line is very different - yes, you are being taught about life, but by a saint, not a very likely demon...

I long wanted to identify two Russian animated short films I saw in the eighties. Maybe someone saw them & recognises from the description...

1. A communist fable about a little narrow-gauge steam engine. It wants to enjoy life and run around exploring the world instead of working. But doing so, it is irresponsible, ignores all warnings from older locos, and manages to end up in a steam engine graveyard. Somehow, it is saved, and then works together happily ever after with the big boys on broad gauge.

2. Football. An (amateur?) football team forms and defeats all odds. The scene I remember vividly is playing in rain, with the football field transforming into a lake, with players playing swimming or from under the water. I remember it to have been very funny.

I don't know how they do it, but I'm glad they do.
