Hundreds of free movies, audio books, ebooks, language lessons and online courses at Open Culture
Did a search and didn't find anything about this site, so I hope it's not a repost.
Open Culture is an online resource linking to over 400 free movies (lots of classics, including 22 Hitchcock films), 250 free ebooks (including Kindle), audio books, free language lessons (40 languages), 375 free online courses from top universities, videos, textbooks and much, much more. The site says it's "The best free cultural & educational media on the web." Pretty amazing resource.

What is Open Culture’s Mission?
Open Culture brings together high-quality cultural & educational media for the worldwide lifelong learning community. Web 2.0 has given us great amounts of intelligent audio and video. It’s all free. It’s all enriching. But it’s also scattered across the web, and not easy to find. Our whole mission is to centralize this content, curate it, and give you access to this high quality content whenever and wherever you want it. Free audio books, free online courses, free movies, free language lessons, free ebooks and other enriching content — it’s all here. Open Culture was founded in 2006.
Who is Behind Open Culture?
Dan Colman, the lead editor, is the Director & Associate Dean of Stanford’s Continuing Studies Program. Before that, he served as the Managing Director of AllLearn, an e-learning consortium owned by Stanford, Oxford and Yale, and as the Director of Business Development and Editorial Manager at About.com. He received his PhD and MA from Stanford, and his BA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The common thread running through his career is his interest in bringing relevant, perspective-changing information to large audiences, often with the help of the internet.
