    It's set in London, after all. I'll fix the mistake. (This comes from blogging in the middle of the night.)

    To the reader who mentioned Kino -- absolutely! They've got an awesome catalogue of great old stuff, as do New Yorker and Facets. For video-by-mail, if you're the sort of person likely to read this, I would personally recommend Facets and/or GreenCine. (facets.org and greencine.com, respectively.) That's not a dis against Netflix, which has transformed the home-video marketplace and exposed a lot of viewers to a lot of great films. But browse those other two sites and you'll see what I mean: Much tougher to run out of options, or start believing you've seen everything. Side note: Facets offers a kids' membership, with unlimited rentals, for $35/year, and as the parent of two younguns just starting to figure out what movies are, I think that's an utterly brilliant idea. (The last thing I need in my life is more videos, but still.)
