The list Gary posted is terrific. One of my favorites is Storm Center with Bette Davis as the public library librarian who refuses to remove a book on communism from the collection. Never released on commercial DVD, but available as a MOD DVD from http://www.screenarchives.com/
I'm also fond of the exchange with James Caan in Rollerball: "So this is not really a library, and you're not really a librarian." "Oh, no, sir. I'm only a clerk."

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
