CHAPTER ONE

MOVIES

Film and Video Dealers

The ever-present video shop makes it easy to forget the recent past, when you squandered a substantial part of your allowance or paycheck to collect movies in 8mm, Super 8mm or 16mm--or settled instead for whatever turned up on television. The ready availability of vast numbers of vintage short and feature films on video--and the almost prohibitive price of celluloid compared to magnetic tape--has resulted in few retail sources for images with sprocket holes. Private collectors often buy, sell and trade their wares via advertisements in The Big Reel (see entry 248.)
