This one's great. I've lost count of how many films I've watched that I would have never found otherwise.

Here's another big art repository:

https://monoskop.org/Monoskop

And a very well-documented collection (a "wiki") of paintings, also non-profit:

+1, I forgot about Monoskop, a truly fascinating resource.

Another interesting one is Aaaaarg (according to Monoskop's wiki, originally with one less "a", acronym of Artists, Architects, and Activists Reading Group):

https://aaaaarg.fail/

https://monoskop.org/Aaaaarg

Basically it's a collaborative environment for reading, annotating and discussing texts. The content is submitted by users and (thus) of high quality.

I think you need an invite to access the community. Also, the domain used to be aaaaarg.org, but I think they faced copyright issues of some kind and had to find an alternative domain. (Not sure about this; excellent new suffix, though!)

EDIT: More precise description:
