I have recently been watching speed runs of some of my old favorite games, and I was wondering; what are some of your favorite speed runs? Can you recommend some I may not ordinarily seek out?

I was always a big fan of (http://qdq.planetquake.gamespy.com/sds.html) Scourge done Slick, a speedrun of Quake Mission Pack 1.

(http://www.doom2.net/~compet-n/index.cgi) Here's the old Compet-N site full of Doom speedruns.

Seconding Scourge Done Slick. Hugely entertaining!
Also, Quake Done Quick With A Vengeance, but you've probably seen that already.

Deus Ex in 43 minutes, 20 seconds.

Portal in 13:06 is pretty impressive, too.

As far as pure entertainment value goes, QDQWAV is #1 though. Although Morrowind in 7 and a half minutes is pretty damn crazy.

That Deus Ex one is my favourite. It's just hilarious how the conversations get cut and how crazy everyone acts.

Goldeneye speed runs are awesome. you can see a bunch here:

(http://speeddemosarchive.com/GoldenEye.html)

although, I don't think that site has the most recent speed run records.

The portal one is madness. I think it even comes in a half speed version so you have a prayer of being able to follow it.
The Half Life 2 ones after the physics glitches were discovered are a lot of fun to watch.

I'd like to see one posted on the speedruns site for Fallout 3. I'm guessing it would be really really short, as I've managed to get through about half of it in half an hour.

Edit: Hm, one of the bethesda employees apparently beat it in (http://blogs.ign.com/Bethesda_Softworks/2008/09/15/101489/?RSSwhen2008-09-15_160100&RSSid=910167) 75 minutes.
