Illustration: At the movies

The emphasis here will be on the old and/or obscure. There wouldn't be much point in my recommending Avatar or the latest Harry Potter film but the movies listed below are some that you might want to look for at your video store, on Netflix(R), or on a classic movies cable channel. It'll be worth your while.
