God I Love Physics.
If you ever found interesting, but hated the idea of learning all those endless formulas and symbols, then you might find these 28 videos interesting; I definitely did. I can guarantee you will enjoy them if you enjoyed "What The Bleep Do We Know".
They are pretty much about the "Theory of Everything", or rather, different theories on how the universe works and is. This begins with Newton's theory of Gravity and then where Einstein and Boyle took that (with an obvious emphasis on Einstein), leaving the last half on String Theory.
The 28 videos make up the 3 one hour NOVA specials that played on PBS some time ago (I didn't both finding out when). The narration is well done and includes many interesting/fun CGI elements as well. Obviously, the best part of the whole "mini-series" is the many interviews, though I found Edward Witten's voice to be particularly annoying.
All in all, if you've ever wondered about multiple dimensions (one theory suggests there are 11), gravity, sub-atomic particles, the Big Bang, or anything about the universe, then try to find to watch all of these videos.
