    Oh yeah we had those too. I totally forgot about A&E, those tapes were around for sure. And a lot of stuff from the National Film Board, I think the schools in Canada got that stuff for free or something.

      Butting into your conversation to leave a wee link for any film lovers scrolling by. The NFB’s a public producer and distributor, and the catalogue’s free for everyone.

      You need a license to use it in class or have a public showing, but you’re right - many schools have that already set up. Buying DVDs for the classroom will cost you, though.
