There is a lot of actual historical film available on youtube that can be shown in class. If you are not sure about your internet connection at the moment of truth you can save the youtube videos with something like orbit and play them back at your convenience with a flv player, also easily found and downloadable. I was able to show video of Mao's long March and his meeting with Nixon with the classroom digital projector from my laptop without too much fuss. I ended up using these videos a lot because it held the students' attention pretty well.
