Europa Film Treasures

BB pal Vann Hall turned me on to Europa Film Treasures, featuring, as he says, "tons of historical footage in a well-annotated website. (And downloadable with the right tools!) Seen above, a still from Jön az öcsém (1919), directed by Michael Curtiz of Casablanca fame; and John MacFadyen (1970), a Scottish animation featuring credits painted right on the film stock. And here are the most popular films on the site right now:

1. The Apple-Knockers and the Coke (1948)
2. Das Sandbad (1906)
3. Farfale (1907)
4. Das eitle Stubenmädchen (1908)
5. Gordon Highlanders (1899)

@1, DownloadHelper in Firefox worked for me.

Be aware that for the most popular films you must be under 18.

Er... over 18?

Under 18 would have been much cooler...

Anyway, for those of us who don't use FireFox, any tips for downloading?
