These are his 3 part lectures of physics.
All 3 parts were meant as an introduction to physics for beginners, but as far as i can tell (and promiseo ) you, it is of course more: read it and you are going to discover some new insights...
These parts are portioned classically:
Part 1 deals mainly with mechanics as he taught at the Caltec and has 52 chapters, from the very beginning up to symmetries in physical laws.
Part 2 begins with basic electromagnism, teaches then some differential calculus of vector fields and then crosses over to applications of Gauss' Law, The Law of Induction, Maxwell Equations etc. up to viscosity (Last Chapter (41): The Flow of Wet Water! )
Part 3 is about quantum mechanics. Besides the needed formulas there is a lot of plain text which helps to understand the basic experiments in context of quantum mechanics. It has 21 chapters and ends with The Schrödinger Equation in a classical context.

As a beginner i found these books very challenging but after all i see how valuable they are.
Here are (the?) promised seven parts (and a bit more) of Feynmans Messenger Lecture which he held at Cornell University in 1964.
Cornell University
The Messenger Lectures (1964) - The Character of Physical law
(all ~50min. and ~145mb). The Video-Lectures are a bit technical but hopefully you enjoy them! To watch it you'll need a player which is capable of playing flash videos (*.flv). The RealPlayer should also that job.
Part1

'The Plaesure of finding things out' is an bbc-interview (guess late '70s). Unfortunately you only hear Feynmans answers (but this isnt really a drawback...). The topic of this interview is of course his life and his view on the 'drama' we call life...This, i think, is really a MUST SEE...

The quality is somewhat bad at the beginning of the interview (very first minute) but it will soon getting better.
The 'Inconceivable Nature of Nature' is only a snippet (~5min, 1983, and you will see the wings of death in his neck...) but its also worth of watching.
In it he tries to teach his 'child' (the qed) to the audience, and I think the analogies are quiet feynmannian...

The 2 little mp3-files contains something weired stuff of feynmans hobby: drumming

'Elementary Particles and the Laws of Physics - The Reason for Antiparticles' is a lecture Feynman held 1986 as a part of Dirac Memorial Lectures. This lecture is quit technical but also worth of watching. The quality is at the beginning rather low but it will soon getting better.

The following RS-links contains the first 25 Chapters of his Vol. 1 Book as mp3-files. These are the original recordings of his lecture he held between 1961-1962, (466mb)
