Ear­li­er this year, Lean­dro Cop­per­field spent days re-watch­ing the films of Quentin Taran­ti­no and the Coen broth­ers. Then, using 500+ scenes from 17 movies, he devel­oped a mon­tage trib­ute called Taran­ti­no vs Coen Broth­ers, which nice­ly com­ple­ments his oth­er short trib­ute, Kubrick vs Scors­ese. Now comes some­thing a lit­tle dif­fer­ent – a mon­tage cel­e­brat­ing the films of Pixar Ani­ma­tion Stu­dios. This mashup brings togeth­er moments from 11 Pixar films made between 1995 and 2010, start­ing with Toy Sto­ry, mov­ing to Find­ing Nemo, Mon­sters, Inc and The Incred­i­bles, and end­ing with Toy Sto­ry 3. The Young Turks, Louis Arm­strong, Randy New­man and Peter Gar­briel pow­er the sound­track…

You all know and love Vimeo videos. (We’ve fea­tured many here before.) Now Vimeo will teach you how to make your own videos. The new Vimeo Video School includes some nuts-and-bolts lessons (i.e., how to cap­ture good sound or improve your fram­ing & com­po­si­tion). And then there are some extra tuto­ri­als cre­at­ed by mem­bers of the Vimeo com­mu­ni­ty. Above, we give you a short intro­duc­tion to sto­ry­board­ing (part of a larg­er series on the sub­ject), which hap­pens to fea­ture orig­i­nal draw­ings from Mar­tin Scors­ese’s Taxi Dri­ver. And yes, by the way, Amer­i­can view­ers can watch Taxi Dri­ver online (for free) right here.

Note: The mak­er of Flip video cam­eras has also pro­duced a series of instruc­tion­al videos. You can find them on YouTube right here. Thanks to @TechSoup for the fyi…

Net­flix jolt­ed its com­peti­tors last month when it announced a new plan. Instead of receiv­ing DVDs by mail, cus­tomers can now opt for a $7.99 plan that lets them watch an unlim­it­ed num­ber of movies online, using their tele­vi­sion, com­put­er, iPad, or smart­phone. Not so long ago, Net­flix’s cat­a­logue of stream­able films was rather thin. But nowa­days it runs deep­er, and you can watch online a bevy of impor­tant cin­e­mat­ic works. Hav­ing struck a deal with Cri­te­ri­on (among oth­ers), Net­flix now streams many land­mark films, includ­ing clas­sic films by Felli­ni, Kuro­sawa, Truf­faut, and Bergman, and more con­tem­po­rary films by Steven Soder­bergh, Bri­an De Pal­ma, and Wim Wen­ders. You can see a full list of stream­able Cri­te­ri­on films right here. Sort through the films, find the ones you like, click the cor­re­spond­ing Net­flix link, and then add them to your queue.

If you don’t have a Net­flix sub­scrip­tion, you can always sign up for Net­flix’s one month Free Tri­al.

And don’t for­get the 250+ qual­i­ty films now list­ed in our col­lec­tion of Free Movies Online.

In ear­ly 1920, Robert Wiene pre­miered in Berlin his silent film The Cab­i­net of Dr. Cali­gari. Ever since, crit­ics have lav­ished praise upon Cali­gari, call­ing it a mod­el of Ger­man expres­sion­ist film, the great­est hor­ror film of ear­ly cin­e­ma, and an impor­tant influ­ence on direc­tors lat­er work­ing in the film noir tra­di­tion. And, what’s more (spoil­er alert), Wiene’s film intro­duced the ‘twist end­ing’ to cin­e­ma. Today, you can watch this ground­break­ing film in its entire­ty above, down­load it from the Inter­net Archive, or find it per­ma­nent­ly list­ed in our ever-grow­ing col­lec­tion of Free Movies. Thanks to Melis­sa for the good find…
