I'd be very grateful for any recommendations for useful movies, youtube clips, and the like that others have found useful to teach ling anth topics. For example, I have found the comedian Russell Peters is useful for introducing students to ethnicity and race with language. There's a youtube clip from one of his shows on "cultural names" that works well.
