The 5Ninth Avenue Project
From youtube: "5NinthAvenueProject is maintained online in memory of Nelson Sullivan, who recorded the videos, and his artistic partner Dick Richards, who created the channel and edited the videos with assistance from Robert Coddington." Lots of POV videos of gay life in 80s NYC. Sometimes featuring the likes of Rupaul, Mathu Anderson and Susanne Bartsch

Runner Eye
Essential videos if you desperately need to know the history of obscure RuPaul's Drag Race memes.
