TimeTube is a very cool mashup of YouTube and the interactive timeline site Dipity.
This means that if you do a keyword search it will bring up relevant YouTube videos in an interactive timeline.

Then select the relevant video you want from the timeline, such as this BBC interview Spielberg did with Jeremy Isaacs around the UK release of Schindler’s List in 1994:
Then you can watch the video:
You can also check out parts two, three, four and five of the interview.
