You may want to expand the question with a bit more explanation as in the cstheory question. I've marked this CW.

Mathematical Physics by Carl Bender:

He has a relaxed, humorous, confident lecturing style that engages the audience.

Thanks to the NSF there was once the National Committee for Fluid Mechanics Films, with artistry of lecture and demonstration unparalleled by lecture videos I've seen before or since. The horn-rimmed glasses, ``flewds". It's so good

The Perimeter Institute has a series of video lectures:

https://perimeterinstitute.ca/training/perimeter-scholars-international/psi-lectures

associated to the Perimeter Scholars International program, a one-year coursework master's-level program in theoretical physics. "Taught by some of the world’s top physicists, the program is designed to bring highly qualified, highly motivated graduate students to the cutting edge of theoretical physics in an intense, interactive learning environment."
