I got the following in an email, and thought it has the potential to be interesting, depending on what's in their archive.

AFI.com/video launches with hundreds of archived video segments
The American Film Institute has launched a new video portal on AFI.com featuring hundreds of videos from its AFI Archive.
The Web site launch coincides with TV Land PRIME's broadcast of the AFI Life Achievement Award tribute to Michael Douglas on July 19. Michael Douglas, Kirk Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones and other Hollywood legends attending the gala tribute are featured, along with memorable selections from the previous 36 AFI Life Achievement Award tributes.
The collection will be regularly augmented with videos selected from the AFI Archive, which contains 10,000 hours of material produced during AFI’s 42-year history, much of which has never been seen by the general public.
Videos available on the site stream directly from AFI’s YouTube channel. In addition to accessing the video content, users can post comments on the AFI.com/video site as well as embed the videos on other Web sites, blogs and social networking pages [red, bold emphasis mine].
When you click on the link, it takes you to their video page. On the left side, there is a category, AFI 's 100 Years, where there might be some good stuff. I haven't had time to explore it yet, but if anyone finds a 'gem' please let us know! As you can see above, we have permission from AFI to link to their videos via YT.
