I picked up the following QuickTime movies recently from sumex-aim.stanford.edu.
If you hurry, you may still find them there.

Luxo Jr -- the famous computer-generated animation from Pixar, featuring a
pair of anglepoise lamps and a couple of rubber balls. The image is pretty
small (the credits at the end are just barely legible), but even so the
movie file is about 4.5MB in size.

To the Giant -- an animation inspired by the famous NASA planetary flyby
simulations created by Jim Blinn. This one was done on a Mac with Infini-D
and MacRenderMan.

Monterey currents, early July -- an animated map, showing the changing pattern
of ocean currents in Monterey Bay in California over a period of several days.

MandelMovie -- this one I found fascinating. It's a series of pictures of
the Mandelbrot set, at successively greater magnifications. The guy generated
250 separate images, each at about 10% greater magnification than the previous
one. Play the result back as a movie at 10 frames per second, and you find
yourself falling down into the Mandelbrot world.
