Video Recommendations for Black Holes & other space-related phenomena

[NDHurdler]

I am currently a student-teacher pursuing my teaching certificate for high school physics. Over the past month or so, my students have been asking a lot about black holes. Since they are showing such an interest in space, I thought it might be a good idea to find a video to show them to connect their interest in black holes with the material that we have been covering over the past several months. Does anyone have any recommendations for a video that would tie the concepts of black holes to physics?

Thank you in advance.

I'm probably wrong, but there aren't too many black hole movies. I have watched this one,

Obiviously your students want to see a lot of animations of bloody holes, but in this one there aren't any. Guy only talks about black holes without actually showing anything. I think you'd better do showing them some movie on N. Tesla, indeed it would impress them much more than black holes that people aren't even sure that are holes.

I'd suggest the first one, first

I believe the Discovery Channel had something on supermassive black holes a little while back, so I'm sure they have it on DVD by now. I didn't catch it personally, however, so I can't tell you much about it.
