American Rhetoric.com

This one is for Belle.

American Rhetoric.com is a cornucopia of speeches, sermons, and spoken whatnot from all sources from public speaking to movies. I got the link of Henry V and Braveheart mp3s from this site. It contains the following:

1. Index to and growing database of 5000+ full text, audio and video (streaming) versions of public speeches, sermons, legal proceedings, lectures, debates, interviews, other recorded media events, and a declaration or two.

2. 200+ short audio clips from well-known speeches, movies, sermons, popular songs, and sensational media events by famous (and infamous) politicians, actors, preachers, athletes, singers, and other noteworthy personalities.

3. Complete index to and partial database of the 100 most significant American political speeches of the 20th century, according to 137 leading scholars of American public address.
